NUMBER
GROUPINGID (gidrel...)
A grouping id relation for the hierarchical dimension that you previously created using the GROUPINGID command.
Example 7-106 Retrieving the Value of a Single GroupingID
Assume that you have use the GROUPINGID command to define grouping ids for the two hierarchicies in the geog dimension as described in Example 9-144, "Using GROUPINGID Command to Populate a Relation with Grouping Ids". Now you can use the GROUPINGID function to retrieve the grouping id of a value in the geog dimension.
