Notes

  • The connection and Dimension#Member parameters are required.
  • The OutputAliasTable parameter is optional. If OutputAliasTable is empty, then the connection level alias will be used for OutputAliasTable.
  • It is optional to specify which alias table the member is from. If MemberNameFromAliasTable is empty, then the original member name from the outline will be used.
  • If the member name is not found in the alias table specified in MemberNameFromAliasTable, then the original member name from the outline will be used.
  • The HsActive keyword within the HsAlias function can only be used on a sheet with an ad hoc grid.
  • Copy and Paste either from Smart View or Excel is not supported. Only static text will be pasted.
  • The Boolean argument, FlagToReturnDistinctName, determines if the alias output is a short name or fully qualified name. The default is False.
