Property Value

Type: Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Dimension

The dimension object of a dimension that the current dimension either depends on, or is highly correlated with.

Remarks

If a dimension A has a strong correlation to dimension B, then you should set A depends on B. This way, the aggregation design algorithm won’t consider both as mutually independent dimensions. For example, Fiscal Time is dependent on Calendar Time.
