SourceColumnType (Measure Interface)
The SourceColumnType property of the Measure interface identifies the type of data found in the measure object's SourceColumn property.
Applies To
Data Type
ADODB.DataTypeEnum
For more information about the ADODB.DataTypeEnum enumeration, see the Microsoft® ActiveX® Data Objects (ADO) documentation.
SourceColumnType is set to one of the following values.
| Column type | Value |
|---|---|
| Big Integer | adBigInt |
| Binary | adBinary |
| Boolean | adBoolean |
| String (Unicode) | adBSTR |
| Char | adChar |
| Currency | adCurrency |
| Date | adDate |
| Date | adDBDate |
| Time | adDBTime |
| Date & Time | adDBTimeStamp |
| Decimal | adDecimal |
| Double | adDouble |
| Integer | adInteger |
| Numeric | adNumeric |
| Single | adSingle |
| Small Integer | adSmallInt |
| Tiny Integer | adTinyInt |
| Unsigned Big Integer | adUnsignedBigInt |
| Unsigned Integer | adUnsignedInt |
| Unsigned Small Integer | adUnsignedSmallInt |
| Unsigned Tiny Integer | adUnsignedTinyInt |
| Char (Unicode) | adWChar |
| Text | adChar |
Access
Access depends on the value of the ClassType property of the object.
| Class type | Access |
|---|---|
| clsAggregationMeasure | R |
| clsCubeMeasure | R/W* |
| clsPartitionMeasure | R |
* Read-only for virtual cube measures and measures in fully created linked cubes.
Remarks
The SourceColumnType property works in conjunction with the SourceColumn property. Be sure to specify a SourceColumn and SourceColumnType for each measure you create for a cube.
The SourceColumnType property for a measure within a virtual cube is inherited from the measure in the underlying regular cube and cannot be changed.
Note You must reference the ADO library in your project to use the ADODB.DataTypeEnum enumeration.
Examples
Specifying the SourceColumnType Property
Use the following code to specify and read a value for the SourceColumnType property:
'Assume an object (dsoCubeMea) of ClassType clsCubeMeasure exists
dsoCubeMea.ColumnType = adCurrency
...
Dim ColType As ADODB.DataTypeEnum
ColType = dsoCubeMea.ColumnType
Select Case ColType
Case adDouble
' commands for adDouble
Case adSingle
' commands for adSingle
Case Else
' other commands
End Select
