You can use calculated members to aggregate a custom group of dimension members. For example, you can create a calculated dimension member that sums a group of cities in California.

CREATE member [Sales].[Customers].[AllCustomers].[USA].[CA].[City Group] AS   'Aggregate([Altadena],[Arcadia],[Bellflower])'

After you execute the CREATE member statement, you can use [City Group] as a shortcut to the sum of the three California cities. How would you rewrite the above statement so that [City Group] is a shortcut to the same set of three California cities? This time you don't want the sum. You want to list all three cities each time you use the name [City Group].
