Remarks

A measure represents the data within a fact table that is being organized and aggregated by the cube.

In ADOMD.NET, the Measure represents the metadata for a measure within a cube. A measure is not explicitly identified in a cellset, because a measure is treated as a member for querying purposes and is represented by a Measure within the Measures collection of a CubeDef.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
