Remarks

Each aggregation consists of a set of dimensions, with a set of attributes for each dimension. For example, if an aggregation lists the Customer dimension, and the City and Gender attributes for that dimension, then there is an aggregation for the City/Gender combination.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
