Value (MDX)

Returns the value of the current member of the Measures dimension that intersects with the current member of the attribute hierarchies in the context of the query.

Syntax

  
Member_Expression[.Value]   

Arguments

Member_Expression
A valid Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) expression that returns a member.

Remarks

The Value function returns the value of the specified member as a string. The Value argument is optional because the value of a member is the default property of a member, and is value that is returned for a member if no other value is specified. For more information about properties of members, see Intrinsic Member Properties (MDX) and User-Defined Member Properties (MDX).

Examples

The following example returns the value of a member as well explicitly returning the name of the member.

WITH MEMBER [Date].[Calendar].NumericValue as [Date].[Calendar].[July 1, 2001].Value  
MEMBER [Date].[Calendar].MemberName AS [Date].[Calendar].[July 1, 2001].Name  
  
SELECT {[Date].[Calendar].NumericValue, [Date].[Calendar].MemberName} ON 0  
from [Adventure Works]  

The following example returns the value of a member, as the default value that is returned for a member on an axis.

SELECT {[Date].[Calendar].[July 1, 2001]} ON 0  
from [Adventure Works]
