How to create a space time cube with 2 or more variables

Does anyone know how to create a space time cube with 2 or more variables?

I am very interested in the newly introduced "Time Series Cross Correlation" tool and it need a space time cube with 2 or more variables as input.

I have tried using  "Create Space Time Cube From Multidimensional Raster Layer " tool but the result space time cube only has 1 variable (the default variable) although the multidimensional raster layer has 2 variables.

Can anyone help me with this issue?

Thanks!

Thank you @ChengChia for replying my inquiry, I'm posting the solution here for future reference.

A. If you are using ArcGIS Pro 3.5, you should be able to see all the variables.

B. There are extra steps you need to do if your are using ArcGIS Pro 3.4 or previous versions.

  1. Add the two variable as a multidimensional raster layer separately.
  2. Apply the Create Space Time Cube from Multidimensional Raster tool on each layer, and create a cube for each variable.
  3. Apply the Visualize Space Time Cube in 3D on each cube, and save Output Features
  4. Join all the Output Features by “Location ID” and "Time Step ID", and export to a new Feature Class (e.g. Joined_Variables)
  5. Open the Create Space Time Cube by Defined Locations tool. Select “Joined_Variables” as the Input Features, and select all variables from the Variable Field to create a cube. (If you need a grid-shaped result, using the Create Space Time Cube By Aggregating Points tool instead)
