Purpose
This tutorial covers how to display duplicate member names in Smart View.
Overview
When you enable duplicate member names in an outline, Essbase displays the same name for two or more members and internally stores the names in a qualified format that differentiates the members. Smart View provides methods to display the qualified names in your reports.
Note: The procedures described in this tutorial are for Excel 2003. In Excel 2007, the Hyperion menu referenced in this tutorial is located on the Add-ins tab of the Ribbon and Smart View toolbar icons are on the Hyperion tab.
