How to get dimension name by given dimension value

Posted on by nbhatti2001 222
Hi,
 
I have scenerio where I have filled dimension values in a table, now I need to fill the dimension name in table. I don't have default ledger dimension value here in this table. Thats why I can't use ledger dimention to find the value or name. Actually the report data volume is big. So, I need to update this table after filling the other values in table. While filling the dimension value I can't get the dimension name as it will slow down the process. 
 
There are two methods in my mind to update these 
1. If I can find the definition table where the actuall dimension values are saved, like the dimension BusinessUnit and ProjectCompetency data. But unfortunathly I did not find that. 
2. If I can find a function where I can pass the dimension name (ProjectCompetency) and its value like '01' and I can get its name which is saved against the '01'. 
 
Please help me to find the dimension name, thanks

    I have got the query for the solution and here it is
     

     select  DimensionFinancialTag.DESCRIPTION   from  DimensionAttribute
     inner join DimensionAttributeDirCategory on DimensionAttributeDirCategory.DIMENSIONATTRIBUTE = DimensionAttribute.RECID and DimensionAttribute.NAME='ProjectCompetency'
     inner join DimensionFinancialTag on DimensionFinancialTag.FINANCIALTAGCATEGORY = DimensionAttributeDirCategory.RECID
     where DimensionFinancialTag.VALUE ='01'
