OLAP-are multi-selection custom attributes not available forreporting?

A

anovak

I have a project-level custom field called "Impacted Institutions" and
the user is able to check one or more sibling institutions that the
project impacts.

However, I can't find that in the field list in OLAP (Portfolio
Analyzer specifically). Are these types of fields not available in
OLAP?

Thanks,

You're correct in your assumption that MV custom fields are not available in
the cube.

Hi Andy,

as Paul suggeseted that is not possible. i thought you may want to know why.
When you associate a multi-selection custom attribute, the OLAP cube does not
know how to distribute the values. What value should be displayed in section
1? and which one on selection 2? In order to make this work, they would need
to give users the option to distribute the value throughout the selections.
Technically that is actually possible, but PS does not accomodate for this.
Hope this helps
