# Toolbar (Browser Tab, Cube Designer) (Analysis Services - Multidimensional Data)
Use the features in the **Toolbar** in Cube Designer to perform common operations while designing or browsing a cube or its object, or when creating an MDX query. Operations that are common to both design time and query view include setting the user context, processing objects, and setting the default language.
The following table lists the **Toolbar** buttons and their functions.
|Button|Description|
|------------|-----------------|
|**Edit As Text**|Not enabled for this data source type.|
|**Import**|Import an existing query from a report definition (.rdl) file on the file system.|
||Switch to Command Type MDX.|
||Refresh metadata from the data source.|
||Display the **Calculated Member Builder** dialog box.|
||Toggle between showing and not showing empty cells in the Data pane. (This is the equivalent to using the NON EMPTY clause in MDX).|
||Automatically run the query and show the result every time a change is made. Results are shown in the Data pane.|
||Show aggregations in the Data pane.|
||Delete the selected column in the Data pane from the query.|
||Display the **Query Parameters** dialog box. When you specify values for a query parameter, a parameter with the same name is automatically created.|
||Prepare the query.|
||Run the query and display the results in the Data pane.|
||Cancel the query.|
||Toggle between Design mode and Query mode.|
In general, the toolbar buttons are the same for **Design Mode** and **Query Mode**. However, the following buttons are not enabled for Query mode:
- **Edit As Text**
- **Add Calculated Member** ()
- **Show Empty Cells** ()
- **AutoExecute** ()
- **Show Aggregations** ()
