Cube - CUBEMEMBERPROPERTY Function

Description

The CUBEMEMBERPROPERTY function returns the value of a member property from the cube. Use this Function to validate that a member name exists within the cube and to return the specified property for this member.

Syntax

CUBEMEMBERPROPERTY (connection, member_expression, property)

Arguments

Argument	Description	Required/ Optional
connection	Name of the connection to the cube. - A text string	Required
member_expression	A multidimensional expression (MDX) of a member within the cube. - A text string	Required
property	The name of the property returned or a reference to a cell that contains the name of the property. - A text string	Required

Notes

When the CUBEMEMBERPROPERTY function evaluates, it temporarily displays a "#GETTING_DATA…" message in the cell before all of the data is retrieved.
If the connection name is not a valid workbook connection stored in the workbook, CUBEMEMBERPROPERTY returns a #NAME? Error value. If the Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) server is not running, not available, or returns an error message, CUBEMEMBERPROPERTY returns a #NAME? Error value.
If the member_expression syntax is incorrect or if the member specified by member_expression does not exist in the cube, CUBEMEMBERPROPERTY returns a #N/A error value.
CUBEMEMBERPROPERTY may return a #N/A error value if you reference a session-based object, such as a calculated member or named set, in a PivotTable when sharing a connection. The PivotTable is deleted or you can convert the PivotTable to formulas. (On the Options tab, in the Tools group, click OLAP Tools, and then click Convert to Formulas.)
