Remarks
When a client application sets the AxisFormat property to TupleFormat, an axis is represented as a set of tuples. Each Axis element contains a Tuples element representing the set of tuples on that axis. Each tuple is represented by using a Tuple element that contains Member elements from every hierarchy on the axis.
Example
The following example illustrates the structure of the Tuple element when a client specifies TupleFormat or CustomFormat for the AxisFormat XMLA property, given the following members for the axis:
Time hierarchy, 1999, 1999, 2000
Category hierarchy, Actual, Budget, Budget
<Axes>
<Axis name="Axis0">
<Tuples>
<Tuple>
<Member Hierarchy="Time">
<UName>[Time].[1999]</UName>
...
</Member>
<Member Hierarchy="Category">
<UName>[Scenario].[Actual]</UName>
...
</Member>
</Tuple>
