public interface Member
extends OlapElement, Comparable, Annotated
```
A Member is a 'point' on a dimension of a cube. Examples are [Time].[1997].[January], [Customer].[All Customers], [Customer].[USA].[CA], [Measures].[Unit Sales].
Every member belongs to a Level of a Hierarchy. Members except the root member have a parent, and members not at the leaf level have one or more children.
Measures are a special kind of member. They belong to their own dimension, [Measures].
There are also special members representing the 'All' value of a hierarchy, the null value, and the error value.
Members can have member properties. Their Level.getProperties() defines which are allowed.

- Method Detail
  - getParentMember
```
Member getParentMember()
```
    Returns this member's parent, or null (not the 'null member', as returned by Hierarchy.getNullMember()) if it has no parent.
    In an access-control context, a member may have no visible parents, so use SchemaReader.getMemberParent(mondrian.olap.Member).
  - getLevel
```
Level getLevel()
```
  - getHierarchy
```
Hierarchy getHierarchy()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getHierarchy in interface OlapElement
  - getParentUniqueName
```
String getParentUniqueName()
```
    Returns name of parent member, or empty string (not null) if we are the root.
  - getMemberType
```
Member.MemberType getMemberType()
```
    Returns the type of member.
  - isParentChildLeaf
```
boolean isParentChildLeaf()
```
    Returns:
    
    True when the member is a leaf member, meaning it has no children
  - isParentChildPhysicalMember
```
boolean isParentChildPhysicalMember()
```
    Returns:
    
    True when the member is part of a Parent-Child hierarchy and it is a physical member. In a Parent Child Hierarchy without a closure table, each member needs to be treated as calculated. We need a way to distinguish between true calculated members and physical members that exist in the source data
  - setName
```
void setName(String name)
```
    Only allowable if the member is part of the WITH clause of a query.
  - isAll
```
boolean isAll()
```
    Returns whether this is the 'all' member.
  - isMeasure
```
boolean isMeasure()
```
    Returns whether this is a member of the measures dimension.
  - isNull
```
boolean isNull()
```
    Returns whether this is the 'null member'.
  - isChildOrEqualTo
```
boolean isChildOrEqualTo(Member member)
```
    Returns whether member is equal to, a child, or a descendent of this Member.
  - isCalculated
```
boolean isCalculated()
```
    Returns whether this member is computed using either a with member clause in an mdx query or a calculated member defined in cube.
  - isEvaluated
```
boolean isEvaluated()
```
    Returns whether this member should be evaluated within the Evaluator.
    Normally isCalculated() and isEvaluated() should return the same value, but in situations where mondrian would like to treat the two concepts separately such in role based security, these values may differ.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if evaluated
  - getSolveOrder
```
int getSolveOrder()
```
  - getExpression
```
Exp getExpression()
```
  - getAncestorMembers
```
List<Member> getAncestorMembers()
```
    Deprecated.
    Use SchemaReader.getMemberAncestors(Member, java.util.List).
    
    Returns a list of the ancestor members of this member.
  - isCalculatedInQuery
```
boolean isCalculatedInQuery()
```
    Returns whether this member is computed from a WITH MEMBER clause in an MDX query.
  - getPropertyValue
```
Object getPropertyValue(String propertyName)
```
    Returns the value of the property named propertyName. Name match is case-sensitive.
  - getPropertyValue
```
Object getPropertyValue(String propertyName,
                        boolean matchCase)
```
    Returns the value of the property named propertyName, matching according to the required case-sensitivity.
  - getPropertyFormattedValue
```
String getPropertyFormattedValue(String propertyName)
```
    Returns the formatted value of the property named propertyName.
  - setProperty
```
void setProperty(String name,
                 Object value)
```
    Sets a property of this member to a given value.
  - getProperties
```
Property[] getProperties()
```
    Returns the definitions of the properties this member may have.
  - getOrdinal
```
int getOrdinal()
```
    Returns the ordinal of the member.
  - getOrderKey
```
Comparable getOrderKey()
```
    Returns the order key of the member (relative to its siblings); null if undefined or unavailable.
  - isHidden
```
boolean isHidden()
```
    Returns whether this member is 'hidden', as per the rules which define a ragged hierarchy.
  - getDepth
```
int getDepth()
```
    returns the depth of this member, which is not the level's depth in case of parent child dimensions
    
    Returns:
    
    depth
  - getDataMember
```
Member getDataMember()
```
    Returns the system-generated data member that is associated with a nonleaf member of a dimension.
    Returns this member if this member is a leaf member, or if the nonleaf member does not have an associated data member.
  - isOnSameHierarchyChain
```
boolean isOnSameHierarchyChain(Member otherMember)
```
    Returns true if this member is on the same hierarchy chain as otherMember.
    
    Parameters:
    
    otherMember -
    
    Returns:
