Collect Statistics

Use this command to gather statistics that might help improve model performance for the specified calculation dimension. Note that these statistics are used by the SkipNoData model function to maximize efficiency (therefore, they will have no benefit unless SkipNoData is also used). You can collect statistics for multiple dimensions (useful if executing models using multiple calculation dimensions).

After this command is called, any changes to the specified DataArea will automatically update the statistics until the Delete Statistics command is called. You can collect statistics for multiple dimensions by calling the command additional times using different dimension parameters.

Syntax

where:

• DataAreaName is the name of the DataArea for which to collect statistics.
• DimName is the calculation dimension.
