Essbase Functions

This document defines a number of functions that can be used with member sets and dimensions in OLAP cubes. It lists functions such as @ISCHILD, @ANCESTORS, @DESCENDANTS, and @GENMBRS that return information about the relationships between members, and functions like @LIST, @MERGE, and @RANGE that manipulate lists of members. It also describes date functions like @TODATE that convert date strings to numbers for calculations.
