Return Value

An MDXValue that contains the result of the MDX expression.

Remarks

The type of the MDXValue that is returned can be a non-scalar value, such as a set, a tuple, or a member. The MDXValue that is returned can be cast using one of the To methods, such as ToSet, ToTuple, or ToMember. The MDXValue can also be cast by language-specific casting.

To retrieve a scalar value, such as an integer, double, or string, after evaluating an MDX expression, use the Calculate method.
