The ADO MD Member object represents a member of a level in a cube, the children of a member of a level, or a member of a position along an axis of a cellset.

Basic Usage

This VBS code get properties of the Member object:

Response.Write "<ul>"
For intMem = 0 To cdf1.Dimensions(1).Hierarchies(1).Levels(1).Members.Count - 1
    Set mem1 = cdf1.Dimensions(1).Hierarchies(1).Levels(1).Members(intMem)
    Response.Write "<li>Hierarchy: " & mem1.Name
    Response.Write "<ul>"
    Response.Write "<li>" & "Caption: " & mem1.Caption & "</li>"
    Response.Write "<li>" & "ChildCount: " & mem1.ChildCount & "</li>"
    Response.Write "<li>" & "Children: " & mem1.Children& "</li>"
    Response.Write "<li>" & "Description: " & mem1.Description & "</li>"
    Response.Write "<li>" & "DrilledDown: " & mem1.DrilledDown & "</li>"
    Response.Write "<li>" & "LevelDepth: " & mem1.LevelDepth & "</li>"
    Response.Write "<li>" & "LevelName: " & mem1.LevelName & "</li>"
    Response.Write "<li>" & "Name: " & mem1.Name & "</li>"
    Response.Write "<li>" & "Parent: " & mem1.Parent & "</li>"
    Response.Write "<li>" & "ParentSameAsPrev: " & mem1.ParentSameAsPrev & "</li>"
    Response.Write "<li>" & "Type: " & mem1.Type 
    Response.Write "<li>" & "UniqueName: " & mem1.UniqueName & "</li>"
    For i = 0 To mem1.Properties.Count - 1
        Response.Write _ 
            "<li>" & _
            mem1.Properties(i).Name & ": " & _
            mem1.Properties(i).Value & "</li>"
    Next
    Response.Write "</ul></li>"
Next
Response.Write "</ul>"

lev indicates that the property only applies if the Member object belongs to a Level object.

pos indicates that the property only applies if the Member object belongs to a Position object.

Children returns a Members collection of the next lower level in the hierarchy.

ChildCount returns a read only long integer for the number of members for which the Member object is a parent. The max value that Position(n).Member.ChildCount can return  is 65,536, so if that value is returned, then the actual value may be greater. Instead of Level(n).Member.ChildCount, use Level(n).Member.Children.Count property for an accurate count.

DrilledDown returns a read only Boolean value indicating whether the member has no children on the axis, i.e. is a leaf.

Parent returns a Member object for the next higher level in the hierarchy.

ParentSameAsPrev returns a read only Boolean value indicating whether this member and the preceding have the same parent.

Type returns a read only MemberTypeEnum indicating the type of member.  That is whether the member is all, formula, measure, regular, or unknown.

Here are some of the properties available through the Properties collection:

LevelUniqueName The unambiguous name of the level.
MemberCaption A label or caption associated with the member.
MemberGUID The GUID of the member.
MemberName The name of the member.
MemberOrdinal The ordinal number of the member.
MemberType The type of the member.
MemberUniqueName The unambiguous name of the member.
ParentCount The count of the number of parents that this member has.
ParentLevel The level number of the member's parent.
