DataMember (MDX)
Returns the system-generated data member that is associated with a nonleaf member of a dimension.
Syntax
Member_Expression.DataMember
Arguments
- Member_Expression
A valid Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) expression that returns a member.
Remarks
This function operates on nonleaf members in any hierarchy and can be used by the UPDATE CUBE Statement (MDX) command to writeback data to a nonleaf member directly, rather than to the leaf member's descendants.
Note
Returns the specified member if the specified member is a leaf member, or if the nonleaf member does not have an associated data member.
Example
The following example uses the DataMember function in a calculated measure to show the sales quota for each individual employee:
WITH MEMBER measures.InvidualQuota AS
([Employee].[Employees].currentmember.datamember, [Measures].[Sales Amount Quota])
,FORMAT_STRING='Currency'
SELECT {[Measures].[Sales Amount Quota],[Measures].InvidualQuota} ON COLUMNS,
[Employee].[Employees].MEMBERS ON ROWS
