Aggregate Property

Discussion

Use the constants of this value list with the Aggregate property of the SpecialCategory object to customize special categories for relative time. Such categories track measures for specific periods of time relative to the current time. These constants specify the type of relative time period on which to base the special category.

A custom relative time SpecialCategory object also requires settings for other properties, such as ContextOffset and TargetOffset, to supply a time range and context in which the aggregate operates.
