When a measure applies to only some levels in
a regular or time dimension, you can allocate the measure from a level
where it applies to all lower levels that have no relationship established.
When
you allocate a measure from a level, all categories in the level inherit
the allocation type. However, you can change the allocation type of
individual categories.
Procedure
-
In the Dimension Map, double-click
the parent level of the levels to which you want to allocate measure
values, to open its property sheet.
-
Click the Allocation tab.
A
list of measures that are candidates for allocation appears.
-
In the Measure list box, right-click
the Allocation type for the measure, and select
an option.
The allocation types include Do
Not Allocate, Constant, and By
Measure.
Tip: You can check the relationships
between dimensions and a measure by using the Show Scope command
on the Edit menu.
