computeDistinctCount (Compute Distinct Count)

The computeDistinctCount property specifies whether or not the number of sub elements should be computed for a dimension.

In the Properties view, this property is the Compute Distinct Count property in the Value category.

Sub elements are either sub dimensions or, in the case of the innermost dimension, fact rows.

Considerations regarding chart drawing and output sorting: When selecting a chart visualization (specified by drawAs) that displays aggregated values, it is necessary that aggregation is performed on the dimensions required by the chart. Similarly, output sorting requires an aggregation function to be defined for all dimensions by which these will be sorted. In the case that more then one aggregation option is selected, the processor will pick the aggregate option that is highest up in the priority list:
  1. computeTotal
  2. computeAverage
  3. computeMaximum
  4. computeMinimum
  5. computeCount
  6. computeDistinctCount

Default is FALSE.
