@REMOVE

Syntax

@REMOVE (list1, list2)

Parameters

list1: A list of member specifications, from which the members specified in list2 are removed.
list2: A list of member specifications to be removed from list1.

Example 1

In the Sample Basic cube, the following example returns Massachusetts, Florida, and New Hampshire:

@REMOVE(@CHILDREN(East),@LIST("New York",Connecticut))

Example 2

Assume that the Market dimension of Sample Basic contains an additional member, Non-West. A special analysis requires a sum of the actual sales values of a particular product family for non-western states.

In the following example, @REMOVE is called within @SUMRANGE to perform the analysis. @LIST groups the last two arguments passed to @REMOVE (the children of West, plus two additional members, Texas and New Mexico):

FIX(Sales)
"Non-West"=@SUMRANGE(Sales,@REMOVE(@LEVMBRS(Market,0),
          @LIST(@CHILDREN(West),Texas,"New Mexico")));
ENDFIX

This example produces the following report:
