The value of this element is limited to one of the strings listed in the following table.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| ParentIsBlankSelfOrMissing | Only members that meet one or more of the conditions described for ParentIsBlank, ParentIsSelf, or ParentIsMissing are treated as root members. |
| ParentIsBlank | Only members with a null, a zero, or an empty string in the key columns represented by the KeyColumns collection of DimensionAttribute are treated as root members. |
| ParentIsSelf | Only members with themselves as parents are treated as root members. |
| ParentIsMissing | Only members with parents that cannot be found are treated as root members. |
The enumeration that corresponds to the allowed values for RootMemberIf in the Analysis Management Objects (AMO) object model is RootIfValue.
