AX 2012 :Financial Dimensions

Financial Dimensions

Here is a couple of helper methods that simply the retrieval of dimension data.
These can be included in a helper class and referenced to as static methods are normally,
but I recommend including these in your Global class, then you can just call the method directly.
I have 2 methods: dimValue() and dimDesc(), they return the value and description, respectively.
 Code and usage is below:

//Usage for dimValue() and dimDesc()
static void JobDimensionUsage(Args _args)
{
    SalesLine       sl;

    DimensionValue  value;
    Description     desc;
    ;
    select firstonly sl;

    value = dimValue(sl.DefaultDimension, 'Department');
    desc = dimDesc(sl.DefaultDimension, 'Department');

    info(strfmt("%1: %2", value, desc));
}
static DimensionValue dimValue(RefRecId _defaultDimension, Name _name)
{
    DimensionAttributeValueSetItemView  davsi;
    DimensionAttribute                  da;
    ;
    select DisplayValue from davsi
    where davsi.DimensionAttributeValueSet == _defaultDimension
    join RecId from da
    where da.RecId == davsi.DimensionAttribute
        && da.Name == _name;

    return davsi.DisplayValue;
}

static Description dimDesc(RefRecId _defaultDimension, Name _name)
{
    DimensionAttributeValueSetItemView  davsi;
    DimensionAttribute                  da;
    DimensionFinancialTag               dft;
    DimensionAttributeDirCategory       dadc;
    DimAttributeCustTable               dact;
    DimAttributeProjTable               dapt;
    ;
    select DimensionAttributeValueSet from davsi
    where davsi.DimensionAttributeValueSet == _defaultDimension
    join RecId from da
    where da.RecId == davsi.DimensionAttribute
        && da.Name == _name
    outer join Name from dadc
    where dadc.DimensionAttribute == da.RecId;
    outer join Description from dft
    where dft.RecId == dav.EntityInstance
        && dft.FinancialTagCategory == dadc.DirCategory
    outer join Name from dact
    where dact.RecId == dav.EntityInstance
        && dact.Value == davsi.DisplayValue
    outer join Name from dapt
    where dapt.RecId == dav.EntityInstance
        && dapt.Value == davsi.DisplayValue;

    return (dft.Description ? dft.Description : (dact.Name ? dact.Name : (dapt.Name ? dapt.Name : "")));
}
