How to bring attribute "Text" fields value into a Cube View

[Sean]

Hello,

I would like to bring attribute "Text 1" field identified in Entity dimension into a Cube view. 

When users run a Cube View, they should be able to see Entity as a Column name and the “Text 1” field attribute which is identified in entity

Hi Sean - you will be able to do this with a Dynamic Calc. See below for screenshots of the setup. On your CV column, you would reference this member with one of the annotation View members, such as U8#Ent_Text1:V#Annotation.

Dim entity As String = api.Pov.entity.Name
Dim entityId As Integer = api.Pov.entity.MemberId
Dim entityText1 As String = api.entity.Text(entityId,1).ToString

Return entityText1

Hi Eric - can you explain how this can be altered to pull the Text 1 - Text 8 fields from the account dimension rather than entity?

Thanks!

Hello - you should just be able to change the code to reference Account (or another dimension) as well as the particular text field you are looking to retrieve:

Dim acct As String = api.Pov.Account.Name
Dim acctId As Integer = api.Pov.Account.MemberId
Dim acctText1 As String = api.Account.Text(acctId,1)

Return acctText1
