Browse Dimension Data in Dimension Designer

You can browse the data in a dimension by using the Browser view in Dimension Designer, which is accessed from [!INCLUDEssBIDevStudioFull].

In order for dimension data to be displayed in the Browser view, the dimension must be in a processed state. For more information, see Multidimensional Model Object Processing.

To browse a dimension in SQL Server Data Tools

1. Open the dimension that you want to browse, and click the Browser tab.

2. In the Hierarchy drop-down list, choose the hierarchy for which you want to browse data.

3. Optionally, if your dimension includes translations, in the Language drop-down list, choose the language in which you want to display the data.

   [!NOTE]
   You must have a translation defined in the dimension for the selected language.
