MDX Syntax Conventions (MDX)
The diagrams for Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) syntax in the MDX Language Reference use these conventions.
Convention | Usage |
---|---|
italic | Indicates user-supplied arguments of MDX syntax. |
| (vertical bar) | Separates syntax items within brackets or braces. You can select only one of the items. |
[ ] (brackets) |
Indicates optional syntax items. Do not type the brackets. |
[,] ...n | Indicates that the preceding item can be repeated any number of times. The items are sometimes separated by commas. |
<label> ::= | Indicates the name for a block of syntax. This convention is used to group and label portions of lengthy syntax or a unit of syntax that can be used in more than one place within a statement. Each location in which the block of syntax can be used is indicated with the label enclosed in angle brackets: <label>. |
