Assembly:  Microsoft.AnalysisServices (in Microsoft.AnalysisServices.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<BrowsableAttribute(False)> _
Public ReadOnly Property DependsOnDimension As Dimension
    Get
'Usage
Dim instance As Dimension
Dim value As Dimension

value = instance.DependsOnDimension

[BrowsableAttribute(false)]
public Dimension DependsOnDimension { get; }

property Dimension^ DependsOnDimension {
    Dimension^ get ();
}

[<BrowsableAttribute(false)>]
member DependsOnDimension : Dimension

function get DependsOnDimension () : Dimension

Remarks

If a dimension A has a strong correlation to dimension B, then you should set A “depends on” B. This way, the aggregation design algorithm won’t consider both as mutually independent dimensions. For example, Fiscal Time is dependent on Calendar Time.
