List Pane

The Calculated Member Manager includes the List pane, which lists the calculated members in the virtual cube. Right-click a calculated member to see a shortcut menu.

Shortcut Menu Option Description
New Calculated Member Displays the Calculated Member Builder so you can create a calculated member.
Import Calculated Member Displays the Import Calculated Members dialog box so you can import calculated members from the virtual cube’s component cubes.
Edit Calculated Member Displays the Calculated Member Builder with the selected calculated member so you can edit it.
Rename Renames the selected calculated member.
Delete Deletes the selected calculated member.

Calculated members with creation errors are represented by an icon with a red circle and white X. The errors are displayed when you import the calculated members and later when you open the Calculated Member Manager. You can also display them after you have opened the Calculated Member Manager.

To display the creation error in a calculated member

  1. In the Calculated Member Manager’s List pane, right-click the calculated member, and then click Edit Calculated Member.
  2. In the Calculated Member Builder, click OK.

The most common cause of this kind or error is that the calculated member’s value expression includes a measure, dimension, or calculated member that is not in the virtual cube. For more information, see Importing a Calculated Member into a Virtual Cube.
