Option to set alias as default value

    Thank you for your feedback. This functionality already exists and can be configured using attribute cubes.

    You can create a view in the #_#_DIMENSION_ cube to define a default alias:

    • Add #_LANGUAGE to the POV

    • Add #_DIMENSION_ to rows

    • Add #_#_DIMENSION_ to columns

    This view provides advanced configuration of the dimension (e.g. default element, subset, or alias). To set a default alias, simply select the intersection between the dimension and the Default Alias configuration, and write the Alias you want to use (as shown in the image below).

Use Standard Alias for Dimensions in Pase View

On a per user and per dimension basis information about the last selected alias should be stored and retrieved, when opening a new view. That would help users to work faster with their data.

Default Alias in Views: Apply Alias automatically in Select Elements Dialogue

Merged
First off, it is great that it's possible to define a default alias per dimension. Unfortunately, in the Excel Add-in, the default alias is only automatically applied when a view is pasted, but not in the Select Elements dialog. Since the elements...
