Tuple Element (XMLA)

Contains a collection of Member elements contained by the parent Tuples element.

Syntax

<Tuples>
   <Tuple>
      <Member>...</Member>
   </Tuple>
   ...
</Tuples>

Element Characteristics

Characteristic	Description
Data type and length	None
Default value	None
Cardinality	0-n: Optional element that can occur more than once.

Element Relationships

Relationship	Element
Parent elements	Tuples
Child elements	Member

Remarks

When a client application sets the AxisFormat property to TupleFormat, an axis is represented as a set of tuples. Each Axis element contains a Tuples element representing the set of tuples on that axis. Each tuple is represented by using a Tuple element that contains Member elements from every hierarchy on the axis.

Example

The following example illustrates the structure of the Tuple element when a client specifies TupleFormat or CustomFormat for the AxisFormat XMLA property, given the following members for the axis:

Time hierarchy	1999	1999	2000
Category hierarchy	Actual	Budget	Budget

<Axes>
   <Axis name="Axis0">
      <Tuples>
         <Tuple>
            <Member Hierarchy="Time">
               <UName>[Time].[1999]</UName>
               ...
            </Member>
            <Member Hierarchy="Category">
               <UName>[Scenario].[Actual]</UName>
               ...
            </Member>
         </Tuple>
         <Tuple>
            <Member Hierarchy="Time">
               <UName>[Time].[1999]</UName>
               ...
            </Member>
            <Member Hierarchy="Category">
               <UName>[Scenario].[Budget]</UName>
               ...
            </Member>
         </Tuple>
         <Tuple>
            <Member Hierarchy="Time">
               <UName>[Time].[2000]</UName>
               ...
            </Member>
            <Member Hierarchy="Category">
               <UName>[Scenario].[Budget]</UName>
               ...
            </Member>
         </Tuple>
      </Tuples>
   </Axis>
   ...
</Axes>
