I'd like to know if it's possible to change the alias used in a view based on a value selected in another dimension of the same cube as shown in picture attached
Many Thanks
Federico

=ATTRS("yourserver:yourdimension",$A2,$A$1)
A1 = name of alias
A2, A3, An = base element
I'm almost quoting the documentation here.

This is an example of an Excel formula that will work in an Excel worksheet.
