Syntax

& variableName

variableName The name of the substitution variable set on the database. The variable name can be any combination of letters, numbers, and underscores, up to 80 characters in length. Spaces, punctuation, and other special characters are not supported in the variable name.

Description

Any string that begins with a leading & is treated as a substitution variable; Analytic Services replaces these variables with their associated value names prior to the parsing of the report script. If you have member names that contain a leading &, they are recognized as substitution variables.

becomes

<ICHILDREN Qtr1

if the substitution variable CurQtr has the value name "Qtr1".
