IgnoreUnrelatedDimensions Element (ASSL)

Determines whether unrelated dimensions are forced to their top level when members of dimensions that are unrelated to the measure group are included in a query.

Syntax

  
<MeasureGroup>  
   ...  
   <IgnoreUnrelatedDimensions>...</IgnoreUnrelatedDimensions>  
   ...  
</MeasureGroup>

Characteristic	Description
Data type and length	Boolean
Default value	True
Cardinality	0-1: Optional element that can occur once and only once.

Element Relationships

Remarks

When IgnoreUnrelatedDimensions is true, unrelated dimensions are forced to their top level; when the value is false, dimensions are not forced to their top level. This property is similar to the Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) ValidMeasure function.

The element that corresponds to the parent of IgnoreUnrelatedDimensions in the Analysis Management Objects (AMO) object model is xref:Microsoft.AnalysisServices.MeasureGroup.
