Problem Note 42625: The MDX expression displayed in the Preview window for a saved slice might not be correct
 |  |  |  |  |
If you select the Create Slice option on an OLAP cube displayed in SAS® Enterprise Guide® to save the current view of your cube, when you later view the saved slice from the Process Flow and select Preview MDX, you might not see the correct MDX expression for the saved slice.
This can happen if you specify one of the first two slice type options in the Create Slice dialog box, either Rows, columns, and measures as separate data columns or Maintain the same layout as the OLAP table.
If you have used one of these two slice types, then the Preview MDX window will show the MDX expression for the current query on the cube as displayed in the OLAP Analyzer view and not that of the previously saved slice.
