Aggregate without consolidating

Hi all, how do you run an aggregation, i.e. calculate the "Aggregated" member of the consolidation dimension, without running a consolidation?

In particular, would it be possible to setup the Process step of a workflow profile so that it runs an aggregation (as opposed to a consolidation/force consolidation)?

Thank you

    Hi Andrea,

    Yes, you can configure the Calculation Definition on the workflow profile as follows: 

    - Cons: Aggregated

    - CalcType: Consolidate

    I hope this helps.

    Ok, thank you both! I don't know why I expected a separate "Aggregate" command to be there alongside the consolidate/force consolidate, but in fact I have to consolidate on the Aggregated member!
