Before you begin
Ensure you know the syntax and specifics of CUBEMEMBER. For details, see CUBEMEMBER function.
Syntax
CUBEMEMBER(connection, member_expression, [caption])
Consider that for member_expression you cannot include in-line MDX
functions. Instead, you should use a key-based MDX member reference
string. member_expression can also be a tuple, specified as a cell
range or an array constant. Here are a few examples:
- Static text string: "[Measure].[Order Quantity]"
- Concatenated text string: "[Product].[Product Categories].[Category].&["&B16&"]"
- Cell range: B1:B3
- Cell list: {"[Measures].[Order Quantity Long]","[Product].[Product Categories].[Category].&[4]"}
- Cell list: (B1,B3)
The following examples show how you can use the CUBEMEMBER function.
CUBEMEMBER(connection,measure member)
MDX query name: :
B1= Internet Sales Amount Local
Example: :
C1=CUBEMEMBER("Connection Name", "[Measures].["&B1&"]")
CUBEMEMBER(connection, measure member, [caption])
MDX query name: :
B2= Order Quantity Long
Example: :
C2=CUBEMEMBER("Connection Name", "[Measures].["&B2&"]", "Order Quantity")
CUBEMEMBER(connection, dimension member)
This example is for lower level of the hierarchy.
MDX query name: :
Country = United States
State = CA
Country Code= US
Example: :
``C7=CUBEMEMBER("Connection Name", "[Customer].[Customer Geography].[Customer Country].& [CA] & [US]")``
For the level of the hierarchy with more than one key column, all the key columns should be specified in the formula; in this example, State and Country Code.
CUBEMEMBER(connection, CUBEMEMBER Measure, CUBEMEMBER Dimension(s))
MDX query name: :
C2=CUBEMEMBER- Order Quantity
C3=CUBEMEMBER- United States
C4=CUBEMEMBER- Accessories
Examples: :
C8=CUBEMEMBER("Connection Name", (C2,C3), "Order Quantity-United States")
C9=CUBEMEMBER("Connection Name", C2:C4, "Order Quantity-US-Accessories")
CUBEMEMBER(connection, CUBEMEMBER Dimension1, CUBEMEMBER Dimension2)
MDX query name: :
C3=CUBEMEMBER- United States
C4=CUBEMEMBER- Accessories
Example: :
C10=CUBEMEMBER("Connection Name", (C3,C4),"US-Accessories")
