Finding a Member
The Find feature in Member Filter enables users to search for dimension
members using part or all of the member name, and then easily add them to the
Selected Members list of the Member Filter. This is useful
when you have a large number of members.
To find a member:
- Open Member Filter.
- Within the Member Filter dialog, click Find.
A dialog box appears for you to specify the member to look for.
- Enter the member name you want to find, or enter part of the member name
along with the * wildcard.
You can only use the * wildcard at the beginning or at the end of a search
term. For example:
- To search for any string ending with BA, enter *BA
- To search for any string beginning with BA, enter BA*
- To search for any string containing the string BA, simply enter BA
- To search for the exact string, use double quotes: "BA"
The search is case-insensitive.
- Click Find.
The members matching your search criteria are displayed in the Results
area. By default, returned results are automatically selected.
- Select the members in the Search Results area that you want to add.
Selected members are outlined in blue.
- To select or deselect a single member, click on the member.
- To select various members, Control-Click on each member.
- To select a range of members, Shift-Click on the first and last
members in the desired range.
- To select all of the members, click Select All.
- To deselect all selected members, click Select None.
- To reverse the selected members (select all unselected members and deselect
all selected members), click Invert selection.
- Click Add to add the selected members to the Member Filter, or click
Close to exit without adding any members.
The Search Results area is cleared every time you perform a new search.
When you use the Find
feature, you are searching through the sub-branch of whichever members are currently
selected. To change the search branch, close the Find dialog box, select
different members, and re-launch the Find dialog box.
