Consolidations :
Consolidations are used to Specify the data you want to view in your report,and it allows you to group attribute elements in New ways without changing the metadata and warehouse definitions.
Use:
When the client want to view profit values as per season wise for a particular region, in this situation season attribute not available in data so we can create the season consolidation as SEASON = {(SUMMER = FEB+MAR+APR+MAY)+ (SPRINT = JUNE+JULY+AUGUST+SEPTEMBER) + (WINTER = OCTOBER+NOVEMBER+DECEMBER+JAN) };
The above consolidation we can insert into report then it will displays the season wise profit values.....
