Hi Diane - had the same question a while back and eventually figured it out here 🙂
I created a UD8 Dynamic Calc member, which I put in a column of a cube view to aggregate this information. Hope this helps!
'Check to see if the current Cube View row has Children
If api.Entity.HasChildren Then
'Declare a variable outside of the loop to display the concatened footnotes
Dim ParentAggDispSB As New System.Text.StringBuilder()
'Get the entity in the current row to build the list of children
Dim CurrentEntity As String = api.Pov.Entity.Name
'Create a list that consists of the entities current children
Dim CurEntityChildren As New List(Of Member)
CurEntityChildren = api.Members.GetChildren(api.Dimensions.GetDim("MainEntity").DimPk, api.Members.GetMember(DimType.Entity.ID,CurrentEntity).MemberId)
Dim CurEntToAgg As Member
'Loop thru the Each Entity in the list of children
For Each CurEntToAgg In CurEntityChildren
Dim CurEntToAggStr As String = CurEntToAgg.Name
Dim ChildEntFootNote As DataCellEx
'Get the current footnote
ChildEntFootNote = api.Data.GetDataCellEx("E#"& CurEntToAgg.Name &":V#Footnote:U8#None")
Dim ChildEntFootnoteStr As String
ChildEntFootnoteStr = ChildEntFootNote.DataCellAnnotation.ToString
'If no footnote end the process. Otherwise add the current child footnote to a concatenated string
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(ChildEntFootNoteStr) Then
ParentAggDispSB.Append(CurEntToAggStr)
ParentAggDispSB.Append(":")
ParentAggDispSB.Append(ChildEntFootNoteStr)
ParentAggDispSB.Append("||")
End If
Next
'Return the fully concatenated string if any footnotes are available
Return ParentAggDispSB.ToString
End If
