Hi Sathish,
I’m not quite following your statement “If I choose the rename option, then 2021M6 data will override.”.

That seems like the lease disruptive way to handle a name change unless the old and newly named entities exist in different parts of the hierarchy, then you have additional factors to consider. Let me know if I’m misunderstanding.

Nicole
Hi Nicole,
Thanks for your explanation. We are using custom tables to store additional attributes in the system periodically for our business needs. We have built dashboards on top of the cube views.
Business requirement is that historical data should not be changed Account reconciliation was already certified with old Entity name. I would like to understand how other organizations are handling this problem?
