I'm not aware of any use for cube aliases but I'll be interested to hear otherwise.

You can reference the cube alias in a slice, it appears, but like David I'm struggling to see a use for it.

How about multiple language support?Paul Segal wrote:You can reference the cube alias in a slice, it appears, but like David I'm struggling to see a use for it.
How about as a mechanism to support changing object names? (with SwapAliasWithPrincipalName)
