HyperCubeDef

Defines the properties of a hypercube. For more information about the definition of a hypercube, see Generic object.

Properties

Name Description Type
qStateName

Name of the alternate state. Default is current selections $ .

String
qDimensions

Array of dimensions.

Array of NxDimension
qMeasures

Array of measures.

Array of NxMeasure
qInterColumnSortOrder

Defines the sort order of the columns in the hypercube. Column numbers are separated by a comma. Example: [1,0,2] means that the first column to be sorted should be the column 1, followed by the column 0 and the column 2. The default sort order is the order in which the dimensions and measures have been defined in the hypercube. By default, the pseudo-dimension (if any) is the most to the right in the array. The index of the pseudo-dimension (if any) is -1. Pseudo dimensions only apply for pivot tables with more than one measure. A pseudo dimension groups together the measures defined in a pivot table. You can neither collapse/expand a pseudo dimension nor make any selections in it. Stacked pivot tables can only contain one measure.

Array of Integer
qSuppressZero

Removes zero values.

Boolean
qSuppressMissing

Removes missing values.

Boolean
qInitialDataFetch

Initial data set.

Array of NxPage
qReductionMode

One of:

  • N or DATA_REDUCTION_NONE
  • D1 or DATA_REDUCTION_ONEDIM
  • S or DATA_REDUCTION_SCATTERED
  • C or DATA_REDUCTION_CLUSTERED
  • ST or DATA_REDUCTION_STACKED
String
qMode

Defines the way the data are handled internally by the engine. Default value is DATA_MODE_STRAIGHT . A pivot table can contain several dimensions and measures whereas a stacked pivot table can contain several dimensions but only one measure.

One of:

  • S or DATA_MODE_STRAIGHT
  • P or DATA_MODE_PIVOT
  • K or DATA_MODE_PIVOT_STACK
  • T or DATA_MODE_TREE
  • D or DATA_MODE_DYNAMIC
String
qPseudoDimPos Integer
qNoOfLeftDims

Number of left dimensions. Default value is -1. In that case, all dimensions are left dimensions. Hidden dimensions (e.g. due to unfulfilled calc condition on dimension level) is still counted in this context. The index related to each left dimension depends on the position of the pseudo dimension (if any). For example, a pivot table with:

  • Four dimensions in the following order: Country, City, Product and Category.
  • One pseudo dimension in position 1 (the position is defined in qInterColumnSortOrder ) qInterColumnSortOrder is (0,-1,1,2,3).
  • Three left dimensions ( qNoOfLeftDims is set to 3).

implies that:

  • The index 0 corresponds to the left dimension Country.
  • The index 1 corresponds to the pseudo dimension.
  • The index 2 corresponds to the left dimension City.
  • Product and Category are top dimensions.

Another example:

  • Four dimensions in the following order: Country, City, Product and Category.
  • Three left dimensions ( qNoOfLeftDims is set to 3).
  • One pseudo dimension.
  • The property qInterColumnSortOrder is left empty.

Implies that:

  • The index 0 corresponds to the left dimension Country.
  • The index 1 corresponds to the left dimension City.
  • The index 2 corresponds to the left dimension Product.
  • Category is a top dimension.
  • The pseudo dimension is a top dimension.
Integer
qAlwaysFullyExpanded

If this property is set to true, the cells are always expanded. It implies that it is not possible to collapse any cells. The default value is false.

Boolean
qMaxStackedCells

Maximum number of cells for an initial data fetch (set in qInitialDataFetch ) when in stacked mode ( qMode is K). The default value is 5000.

Integer
qPopulateMissing

If this property is set to true, the missing symbols (if any) are replaced by 0 if the value is a numeric and by an empty string if the value is a string. The default value is false.

Boolean
qShowTotalsAbove

If set to true, the total (if any) is shown on the first row. The default value is false.

Boolean
qIndentMode

This property applies for pivot tables and allows to change the layout of the table. An indentation is added to the beginning of each row. The default value is false.

Boolean
qCalcCond ValueExpr
qSortbyYValue

To enable the sorting by ascending or descending order in the values of a measure. This property applies to pivot tables and stacked pivot tables. In the case of a pivot table, the measure or pseudo dimension should be defined as a top dimension. The sorting is restricted to the values of the first measure in a pivot table.

Integer (int8)
qTitle StringExpr
qCalcCondition NxCalcCond
qColumnOrder

The order of the columns.

Array of Integer
qExpansionState

Expansion state per dimension for pivot mode ( qMode is P).

Array of ExpansionData
qDynamicScript

Hypercube Modifier Dynamic script string

Array of String
qContextSetExpression

Set Expression valid for the whole cube. Used to limit computations to the set specified.

String
qSuppressMeasureTotals

If set to true, suppress any measure grand totals, ignoring any AggrFunc.

Boolean
