    Essbase was originally developed to address the scalability issues associated with _____ - ProProfs

    Essbase was originally developed to address the scalability issues associated with _____

    • Spreadsheets

    • Word Processors

    • Slide Documents

    • PDF Files

    Correct Answer
    A. Spreadsheets
    Explanation
    Essbase was originally developed to address the scalability issues associated with spreadsheets. Spreadsheets are commonly used for financial analysis and reporting, but they can become slow and inefficient when dealing with large amounts of data. Essbase, a multidimensional database management system, was created to improve the performance and scalability of financial modeling and analysis processes. It allows for faster data retrieval, complex calculations, and better data organization, making it a more efficient solution for handling large datasets compared to traditional spreadsheets.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 
    Which calculation method in Essbase uses a formula against each calculated dimension member? - ProProfs

    Which calculation method in Essbase uses a formula against each calculated dimension member?

    • Stored calculations

    • Calculation scripts

    • Dimension aggregation

    • Dynamic calculation

    Correct Answer
    A. Stored calculations
    Explanation
    Stored calculations in Essbase use a formula against each calculated dimension member. This method allows users to define calculations that are stored in the database and can be reused. The stored calculations are applied to each member of the dimension during calculation, ensuring consistent and accurate results. This approach is particularly useful when dealing with complex calculations or when multiple calculations need to be performed on the same dimension.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 
    Which calculation method in Essbase calculates a result when a user accesses a value addressed by that member and does not store calculated values? - ProProfs

    Which calculation method in Essbase calculates a result when a user accesses a value addressed by that member and does not store calculated values?

    • Dynamic calculation

    • Calculation scripts

    • Stored calculations

    • Dimension aggregation

    Correct Answer
    A. Dynamic calculation
    Explanation
    Dynamic calculation is the correct answer because it is a calculation method in Essbase that calculates a result when a user accesses a value addressed by that member and does not store calculated values. Unlike stored calculations, which pre-calculate and store values, dynamic calculation allows for on-demand calculations, providing more flexibility and efficiency in retrieving data. Calculation scripts and dimension aggregation are other methods used in Essbase, but they do not specifically address the requirement of calculating results when a user accesses a value without storing calculated values.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 
    Which Essbase calculation method uses a procedural programming language specific to the Essbase calculation engine? - ProProfs

    Which Essbase calculation method uses a procedural programming language specific to the Essbase calculation engine?

    • Calculation scripts

    • Dimension aggregation

    • Stored calculations

    • Dynamic calculations

    Correct Answer
    A. Calculation scripts
    Explanation
    Calculation scripts are used in Essbase to perform calculations using a procedural programming language specific to the Essbase calculation engine. These scripts allow users to define complex calculations and logic, including mathematical calculations, conditional statements, loops, and data manipulation. Calculation scripts provide a flexible and powerful way to perform calculations in Essbase, making them the correct answer to the question.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 
    Which Essbase calculation method takes place implicitly through addition or by selectively tagging branches of the hierarchy to be subtracted, multiplied, divided or ignored? - ProProfs

    Which Essbase calculation method takes place implicitly through addition or by selectively tagging branches of the hierarchy to be subtracted, multiplied, divided or ignored?

    • Dimension aggregation

    • Calculation Scripts

    • Stored calculations

    • Dynamic calculations 

    Correct Answer
    A. Dimension aggregation
    Explanation
    Dimension aggregation is the correct answer because it is a method in Essbase where calculations take place implicitly through addition or by selectively tagging branches of the hierarchy to be subtracted, multiplied, divided, or ignored. This allows for the consolidation and summarization of data at different levels within a dimension.
