The result is shown in the section called “Starting Spreadsheet Add-in”. Essbase displays both
member names and their aliases for row dimensions. Because the only row dimension in this
example that has preassigned aliases is Product, only the Product members display their aliases.
Region members simply repeat the member name instead of displaying an alias.

Repeating Member Labels
By default, Essbase displays member labels only once for each nested row and column group. If
you are connected to a large database when using Spreadsheet Add-in, you may have to scroll
down or across the worksheet to see additional data rows and columns.
In some cases, as you scroll down or across, member labels disappear from view. Essbase provides
a feature for repeating member labels in each row or column cell that represents a data point,
so that you can always see a member label in the worksheet view.
➤ To repeat member labels down and across the worksheet:
1 Select Essbase > Options, and select the Display tab.
2 In the Aliases option group, clear the Use Both Member Names and Aliases for Row Dimensions check
box, as shown in Figure 52.
3 In the Cells option group, select the Repeat Member Labels check box, and then click OK.
