Selecting Hierarchy Columns in Calculated Columns with Case Statements (OAC DV + Essbase)

- Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) Data Visualization
- Source System: Essbase EPM
- Issue: Dynamic hierarchy column selection in calculated columns
I am trying to create a calculated column that dynamically selects different hierarchy columns based on a parameter value using a CASE statement. While the hierarchy members exist and work perfectly as canvas filters, I cannot reference them in calculated column expressions.
Questions:
- Is there a specific syntax for referencing Essbase hierarchy members in OAC calculated columns?
- Are there limitations on using hierarchy dimensions in calculated column expressions vs. filters?
- What's the correct way to dynamically select between different hierarchy levels using parameters?
- Are there alternative approaches to achieve dynamic hierarchy column selection in OAC DV?
Additional Context:
- The same hierarchy members work perfectly when used directly in visualizations or as filters
- This suggests the issue is specifically with how calculated columns handle hierarchy member references
- I need this functionality to create dynamic reports where users can switch between different organizational hierarchy levels
Any guidance on proper syntax or alternative approaches would be greatly appreciated!
