Remarks

If the KeyColumns collection of DimensionAttribute contains a single KeyColumn element representing a key column with a string data type, the same DataItem values are used as default values for the NameColumn element.

For more information about the DataItem type, including a table of Analysis Services Scripting Language (ASSL) objects and properties of the DataItem type, see DataItem Data Type (ASSL).

The elements that correspond to the parents of NameColumn in the Analysis Management Objects (AMO) object model are DimensionAttribute and ScalarMiningStructureColumn.
