Code Editing Window for OLAP Calculated Measures

The code editing window enables you to define custom calculated measures. The easiest way to begin is by copying a template from the OLAP Templates and Snippets window. You can then either modify the code directly or modify the template. The code is written in the OLAP expression syntax.

Right-click the window to see a menu of editing tools.

A toolbar at the top of the window provides these functions:

Icon	Description
	Displays options for pattern matching in a search.
	Searches for a string that matches your entry in this text box.
	Pins (or freezes) an object in the viewer so that you can open another object in a separate viewer. The pinned object appears as a separate tab, so that you can easily refer to it again. OLAP objects are pinned by default.
	Checks the syntax of the selected code and shows whether it is valid or invalid.
	Refreshes the cube metadata. Use this tool after making any changes to the cube.
	Displays the OLAP Templates and Snippets window, if it does not appear automatically.
	Opens the Cube Data Viewer.
	Compiles the code and reports the results on the Calculated Measures Compiler page.
	Switches between read/write and read-only editing modes.

Displaying a Template

When you first insert an analytic function into the code editing window, the code appears at the top of the window and the template appears at the bottom. If you edit the code directly, then the template disappears. If the code is invalid (that is, it cannot be compiled), then the template is disabled and cannot be displayed.

To display the template, select all the code in the window by doing one of the following:

Enter Ctrl+A.
Triple-click the primary mouse button.
Click and drag the cursor over the code.
