What happens to the columns in the Rows and Columns slider when using Column Sharing?

• A. The shared columns are added to the right of any existing columns in the Cube View
• B. The columns disappear to indicate that column sharing is being used
• C. The members from the shared columns are pasted into the existing columns
• D. The columns are preserved unchanged

Answer: (B)

Column Sharing makes a grid rely on a shared column definition rather than its own local set. When this is enabled, the Columns area in the Rows and Columns slider is hidden, so the columns appear to disappear. This visual cue lets you know that the view is driven by the shared column configuration, not by locally defined columns. You wouldn’t add, paste, or alter columns in this state; instead, you would modify the shared column definition itself (or disable sharing to edit local columns). If sharing is turned off, the local columns reappear for modification.
