dim2mea Parameters
When you define a dim2mea transformation, you set the action attribute to dim2mea and specify the parameters.
The following table describes the input parameters:
| Parameter | Required? | Value |
|---|---|---|
| dimension | Yes | Dimension column in the dataset from which you want to create the measure. |
| measure | Yes | Name of the output measure. This column name must be unique within the dataset. Do not use the same name as the dimension because the transformation preserves the dimension in the dataset. The measure name is also the new field's API name, so it:
|
| measureDefault | Yes | Default value for the measure if the transformation is unable to create a measure from a dimension. |
| measureType | Yes | Type of measure. Valid value: “long” |
| source | Yes | Node in the dataflow definition file that contains the dataset to which you want to add the measure. |
