Member or Element names and expressions are passed to functions in PQL to return a member identifier, a member function, or an expression that can be converted to a member in a data model.
Syntax & Usage
[dimension or table name].[hierarchy or column name].[member or element name]
- The member or element name, like the hierarchy and dimension name, should be enclosed in square brackets.
- The member or element name is used in Granular and Semantic Calculations.
- It's possible to have two or more members with the same name. When the dimension and hierarchy names are used as qualifiers, the full member name is unique.
Different Function types
- This function is like MDX member objects.
Examples
This example is a data point expression that is comprised of two coordinates from a model:
- The Australia MEMBER, from the country column in the customer dimension.
- The sales MEASURE.
( [Customer].[Country].[Australia], [measures].[sales] )
