Import Dimension Mappings

Security:
  • Model includes: sheets, accounts, dimensions, and formulas
    permission.
  • Structure Import
    permission.
Create many dimension mappings, or make bulk updates to existing ones with the import function. You can also delete mappings. You can either:
  • Export the current structure, which you can modify in Excel before importing. When you want to make updates to or delete existing mappings, we recommend using the export function.
  • Download the Excel template, and fill out the blank
    Import
    tab.
You can use the export and import functions to delete mappings. However, when you must delete all mappings, you must use Dashboards to remove them all because the import fails when there are no rows. See:
