Custom user dimension linked to a specific e-mail account
Dear all
Irrespective of my attempts, I still need to succeed in creating a dimension of specific users/clients with a particular e-mail account suffix. In other words, to identify all the clients with, for example, a gmail.com e-mail.
I would appreciate any advice you can give me.
Thank you

Hi Dolf,
You are sure you need to create a new dimension / hierarchy that only contains email address equal to "gmail.com"? Or are you rather looking to create a List of users with that suffix?
LMK and I can help further.

Hi Dolf,
Here's how you might do it to create a list of names that have a specific email domain:
First, create a list of emails that contain the domain you require. Open formulate against your model and select to create a List. Drag on standard list and select your email attribute:
Add a "Contains" filter block and set the string to look for, in this case "adventure-works.com":
Save the dynamic list, in this case as AV.
Create a new dynamic list, this time using the "Name" attribute:
Then use a "Non-Empty" filter and pick the AV list we created previously. This will keep all the names that have "adventure-works.com" as their email domain.
Save the list, in this case Names AV. This list can then be used in your rows / columns / slicers etc. as needed.
Hope that helps.
Ian
