Resolution
When you want to use a dimension with aliases in Logical Functions, specify the original names. Below is an example.When aliases are set as follows:
The following calculated fields behave as follows.
[Use Aliases] IF [Region] = "C" THEN [Sales] END
[Use Original Names] IF [Region] = "Central" THEN [Sales] END
Cause
If a dimension has aliases, the aliases are displayed in the view. However, the Logical Functions determines the original member names.Thank you for providing your feedback on the effectiveness of the article.
