| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| AggregateFunction | Sets or returns a value that corresponds to the type of aggregate function used for a measure |
| ClassType | Returns an enumeration constant that identifies the specific object type |
| Description | Sets or returns the measure description |
| FormatString | Sets or returns the format used to display the measure values |
| IsValid | Indicates whether the measure object is valid |
| IsVisible | Indicates whether the measure is visible to client applications |
| Name | Sets or returns the measure name |
| OrdinalPosition | Returns the ordinal position of the measure in the parent object's Measures collection |
| Parent | Returns a reference to the parent MDStore object |
| SourceColumn | Sets or returns the name of the column that is precalculated |
| SourceColumnType | Sets or returns the data type of the measure source column |
| SubClassType | Returns an enumeration constant that identifies the subclass type of the object |
Access Cross-Reference
The following table shows whether the property is read/write (R/W) or read-only (R) for different objects.
