Analysis Hierarchy (ANH)

It provides a second, higher level of analysis for reporting purposes. This enables analysis to be captured at the lowest level, speeding up data entry, and then grouped and summarized at a higher level.

You can use an analysis hierarchy to reclassify the analysis codes for a dimension to provide a second, higher level of analysis for reporting purposes.

For example, you might have defined analysis dimension codes for:

• sales areas and wish to summarize them into sales regions.
• products and wish to summarize them into product category.

You can define more than one analysis hierarchy for an analysis dimension. For example, you may want to group the products in the product analysis dimension, by product category and by product size.
