Add an attribute to the time dimension to categorize dimension element (year, month, day)

Everything is in the title, but for some specification here's the complete idea :

What ?

Add an attribute "Category" or "TimeType" that categorize element in the dimension. So for element like :

  • 2022-01-01 or 2023-05-01 the attribute should have the value "Day"

  • 2022-01 or 2023-05 the attribute should have the value "Month"

  • 2022-01_YTD or 2023-05_YTG the attribute should have respectively the value "YTD_Months" and "YTD_Months"

  • 2022-Q1 or 2023-Q2 the attribute should have the value "Quarter"

  • 2022 or 2023 the attirbute should have the value "Year"

  • All Months, All Days or All years the attribute should have the value "All"

For what ?

To be more efficient when filtering in many case. On the dynarange for example it would be more easier to use this attribute than use a regex of a complexe method to get only the year for example.

    Thank you for your great idea. While we cannot commit to a specific target version, we will consider adding it to our future internal backlog.
