CrossProduct Element (XMLA)

Contains a cross-product between ordered sets of members from each hierarchy for an Axis element that uses the MDDataSet data type, returned by the Execute method.

Syntax

<Axis>
   ...
   <CrossProduct Size="integer">
      <Members>...</Members>
   </CrossProduct>
   ...
</Axis>

Description

Size

Required Integer attribute. Indicates the number of tuples contained in the cross-product represented by the CrossProduct element.

Remarks

When a client application sets the AxisFormat property to ClusterFormat, the members on each axis are divided into clusters in which each cluster represents a cross-product between ordered sets of members from each hierarchy. Each cluster is represented by a CrossProduct element. Every CrossProduct element contains a Members element for each hierarchy on the axis. A CrossProduct element can contain members from a single hierarchy.

Example

The following example illustrates the structure of the CrossProduct element when a client specifies ClusterFormat for the AxisFormat XMLA property, given the following members for the axis:

Time hierarchy

1999

1999

2000

2001

Category hierarchy

Actual

Budget

Budget

Budget

Clusters

Cluster 1

Cluster 1

Cluster 1

Cluster 2
