Re: How do you limit aggregation to a specific dimension level

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



this option is available on the cube only.
after you have added the dimension in the cube, look at the property of the
dimension
you'll found aggregation informations.

but what you want is to display only the day level.
so you have to hide year and month levels in your cube.
(visible = false)
