Example - Apexed Custom View Cloaked by Another Custom
View in the Same Dimension
This example describes the union of an apexed custom view cloaked by another
custom view in the same dimension.
Custom view A: apex Australia
Custom view B: cloak Asia Pacific
The Region dimension is temporarily modified. Australia becomes a peer of
Central Europe and Americas, in the place of Asia Pacific, which is not shown. All
values are shown, although the other Asia Pacific categories are shown indirectly
because the totals for those categories roll up to the Region dimension total.
The values for Korea, China, Japan, and Taiwan are cloaked. As a result, the values
for those categories are visible only in the total for the Location dimension.
Example - Apexed Custom View Excluded by Another Custom
View in the Same Dimension
This example describes the union of an apexed custom view excluded by another
custom view in the same dimension.
Custom view A: apex Australia
Custom view B: exclude Far East
The Region dimension is temporarily modified. Australia becomes a peer of
Central Europe and Americas, in the place of Asia Pacific, which is not shown. The
values for the other Far East categories are not shown because they are excluded
from the Region dimension total.
This example is similar to the previous example; however, in this case, the values
for Korea, China, Japan, and Taiwan are excluded from the total for the Location
dimension.
