Using Dimension Expressions

You typically use dimension and hierarchy expressions with a function in Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) to return a member, a set, or a tuple.

Dimension Expressions

A dimension expression either contains a dimension identifier or a dimension function.

A dimension identifier appears as Dimension_Name.

Hierarchy Expressions

Similarly, a hierarchy expression contains either a hierarchy identifier or a hierarchy function.

A hierarchy identifier appears as Dimension_Name.Hierarchy_Name.
