Creating and Using Property Values

Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) supports intrinsic and custom properties for dimensions, levels, members, and cells. The intrinsic properties are used to provide unique names, captions, and even formatting and font sizes for individual cells. Custom properties, on the other hand, can be used to provide almost any kind of additional attribute to members.

The following table lists the topics that describe the use of such properties.

Topic Description
Using Member Properties Describes the intrinsic properties supported by members, the process of creating new member properties, and the process used to query them
Using Cell Properties Describes the intrinsic properties supported by cells, the process of creating new cell properties, and the process used to query them
