For hierarchy result objects, select members to include or exclude in the results. To open the MemberSelector, click the arrow to the right of the hierarchy object name .

To filter the results of the query, drag objects from the business layer into the Filter Objects pane.

Selecting Named Sets

Named set are defined in Business layer while creating Universe. To select members by named set, your hierarchy should define minimum one named set.

Named sets are displayed when you click on metadata under the member selector. If you can’t find a named set folder under metadata, it means the hierarchy has no named set.

Selecting Calculated Measures

You can also use calculated measures with hierarchy but hierarchy should have minimum one metadata defined. They are defined in Business layer.
