BPC 7.5 Upgrade - Unary Operator Issue

Question

We have been performing a large upgrade from a previous version of the software and are looking for some help on some of the issues with the upgrade. One of the issues we have been having is that some of our dimensions were using the property "Unary Operator" to have parent members ignore certain child members in their values. We have seen in 7.5 MS that the unary operator doesn't always perform the same and in one instance wouldn't allow other hierarchies to even roll up at all. I guess what i am looking for is a way to have the same affect (limit some children members from rolll up) that Unary Operators had in previous versions, in 7.5. I had looked at other forums and seen that dimension formulas were used to filter out the child members but i was wondering if there were any other viable options.

Answer 1

Hi Kenton,
as Nilanjan wrote if you have a hierarchy all the children will be rolled up to the parent, so works the OLAP.
If you some parents don't correspond to the sum of his children then you must propcess the application to align the parent with the children.
If you don't want to sum some children you must create another subparent with only the children you want or create a dimension member outside of the hierarchy using the dimension formula, but remember that this valur is not memorized, it's calculated during the evdre, that means that a lot of dimension formula will reduce the performance.
Kind regards
