Remarks
The ParentKeyColumn property contains the name of the column that stores the key values for the parents of individual members. This setting tells the Analysis server how to find the relationship information necessary to build the hierarchy of members in a parent-child dimension.
Note
Because the ParentKeyColumn defines a parent-child relationship, the column named in the ParentKeyColumn property must contain data of the same type as the column named in the MemberKeyColumn property.
