There are many functions that use MemberID as an integer to pass in as a property. These functions get the current POV of the specific Dimension member to perform a variety of tasks, such as:
-
Get Current Year based on Time POV
- Example: Api.Time.GetYearFromId(api.Pov.Time.MemberId)
- Get Text field value from Entity POV
- Example: Api.Entity.Text(api.Pov.Entity.MemberId, 1)
- Get Account Type based on current Account POV
- Example: Api.Account.GetAccountType(api.Pov.Account.MemberId)
When working with formulas and calculations, it is better to work with MemberId versus Member Name.
