| Named sets are really useful if you cn create or reference them in the clent tool (some can't). Where they have proven to be off use for us is grouping a set of members from say the customer dimension and naming the set 'Steves_Customers'. This set can then be referenced in a report, so each time I want to analyse only my customers, i can do it easily, rather than having to see all customer, or filtering customers out every time. You could do the same with products etc. |

| Thanks steve. This provides a little bit of information but it appears that not many people are using this feature?? I am saying this becuase I havenot come across any post in any newsgroups regarding this feature...Is this a correct assumption. |
