Hi,

Just to add to that..A navigational attribute will behave like as itf it is a characteristic in the cube.

Hi xys redd,

the difference is, that a display attribute (basically any attribute of a characteristic) can just be displayed in a report. There is no filtering, no drill down, no drill through ... possible for the attribute. A navigational attribute can be used (if also activated at the dataprovider) for filtering, drill down, drill through ...

If a navigational attribute of a characteristic is not activated on the dataprovider as a nav. attribute it can only be treaten like a display attribute in reports.

Hope this helps!

If you need some more information let me know.

regards

Siggi
