When i make an excel request on a database, i always use the same alias and the same format on the selection's Windows fot a given dimension. The idea is to have that directly on every sélections on my hierarchies. attached the default configuration i would like to be able to set.
This is getting more important now that we are pushing the Views comcept. Without default Alias settings any element that has (by best practice) a code as the root name will not be really user friendly.
