Dimension Extract
A dimension can be extracted from a Jedox OLAP database using the
Dimension extract. The extract creates a tree.
Dimensions can be filtered for the following items:
Elements
Consolidations (i.e., hierarchical relations between
elements)
Consolidation factors
Element types (numeric/string)
Attributes
Read attributes
None
No attributes are extracted
Default
Attributes are extracted. If several languages are defined in the
Language
database only values of the default language are extracted.
Attributes are extracted for all languages of the database. The
All Languages
attribute names in the Dimension extract are in the form
“<attributeName>@<languageName>” (e.g.
“Description@de_DE”)
Query filter on dimensions

A query filter on the dimension allows filtering according to the name
of elements and the hierarchy.
Filter type options
accept
All nodes that fulfill the filter criteria are included in the selection.
deny
All nodes that fulfill the filter criteria are excluded from the selection.
Operator options
equal
Filtering occurs according to the element specified. Example: Austria
inAlphaRange
Alphanumerical values in a particular range are filtered. Example: “[A100,A200]”
inRange
Numerical values in a particular range are filtered. Example: “[1000,2000]”
like
Filters the dimension elements according to regular expressions. Example: “Apr|Feb|Mar”
subset
Filters the dimension elements according to a global subset for the dimension. If the subset contains
variables, values for these variables have to be defined in the filter.
Examples:
• Elements on level 3()
• Element level defined by Variable(LevelEnd=2,LevelStart=3)
Mode options
Defines a hierarchical filter for the dimension. If not set the default
mode “onlyNodes” is applied which returns only the filtered elements
independently of the hierarchy. In case of a global subset filter a mode
is in general not reasonable.

rootToBases
Based on the selected
element, this element
and the elements
above and below are
filtered out.
rootToNodes (to top
Only consolidated
element and the nodes
elements above the
above)
selected elements in
the hierarchy are
filtered out.
rootToConsolidates
Only consolidated
elements above the
selected element are
filtered out.

nodesToBases
All bases under this
value are filtered,
including the parent
element.
onlyBases
Only the bases are
filtered based on the
element selected.
onlyNodes
Only the selected
element is filtered out
(nodal point).

onlyRoots
Only the element from
the highest level of
the hierarchy is
filtered out based on
the selected element.
