Export a Dimension Structure as Displayed

Post by dj74 »

I am looking for a way to export the Dimension Structure to either MS Excel or Word as displayed in its hierachy layout within the subset editor including the Alias. Can this be done using Active Form functionality without showing any data or does anyone have any code that could perform this.

Just create a non zero-suppressed view with the dimension you want in the rows and everything else as a title dimension and then use the Slice functionality.
