Drop Object

This topic describes the Drop Level, Drop Hierarchy, Drop Measure, and Drop Calculated Measure dialog boxes. These dialog boxes show you the effects of dropping a specific object.

A level, hierarchy, measure, or calculated measure can have dependents, which use that object as part of their definition. For example, if you drop a measure, then you drop all of the calculated measures that use that measure in their calculations. Similarly, if you drop a dimension, then the cubes that are defined with that dimension lose the detailed breakdown of the values it provides. The cube still exists, but without the deleted dimension.
