IsValid (Dimension Interface)

The IsValid property of the Dimension interface indicates whether the structure of a dimension object is valid. A structure is valid if it is fully and correctly defined. For example, a dimension object whose data source has not been defined is not valid.

Applies To

clsAggregationDimension

clsCubeDimension

clsDatabaseDimension

clsPartitionDimension

Data Type

Boolean

Access

Read-only

Remarks

Depending on the value of the ClassType property of the object, the IsValid property checks different structure elements to confirm validity, as described in the following table.

Class type	Checks
ClsDatabaseDimension	The Name and Parent properties; the database
ClsCubeDimension	The Name and Parent properties; the source cube; the dimension and levels
ClsPartitionDimension	The Name and Parent properties
ClsAggregationDimension	The Name and Parent properties; the IsValid property of the parent object of ClassType clsPartitionDimension

Example

Use the following code to determine whether the structure of a dimension object is valid:

'Assume an object (dsoDim) of ClassType clsDimension exists.
Dim bValid As Boolean
bValid = dsoDim.IsValid
If bValid Then
    'Insert code to process a valid dimension.
Else
    'Something is not valid - handle errors.
End If
