Syntax
LinkMember(Member_Expression, Hierarchy_Expression)
Arguments
Member_Expression
A valid Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) expression that returns a member.Hierarchy_Expression
A valid Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) expression that returns a hierarchy.
Remarks
The LinkMember function returns the member from the specified hierarchy that matches the key values at each level of the specified member in a related hierarchy. Attributes at each level must have the same key cardinality and data type. In unnatural hierarchies, if there is more than one match for an attribute's key value, the result will be an error or indeterminate.
