Alternate hierarchy refers to a situation where a single entity can have multiple parents and contribute differently to each parent. To accomplish this, the alternate hierarchy has shared members that refer to non-shared members of base hierarchies. When this option is enabled, you can identify a custom rollup for each level of the hierarchy. For example, with employee data, you can have data for different years. Year 1 is a parent of Year 2, and Year 2 is the parent of Year 3. When you select this option, the cube semantic model does calculations to support the alternate hierarchy when it is compiled.
