Returns the number of descendants beneath a member in a dimension’s hierarchy, given the member’s ID.

Syntax

<IHsvTreeInfo>.GetNumDescendants lParentID, plNum

Example

This example creates a function that takes a Scenario dimension member’s label and returns a count of the member’s descendants. The label is passed to GetItemID, which returns the member’s ID. This ID is passed to GetNumDescendants, which returns the number of descendants that is assigned as the function’s return value.

Function getEntDescendants(sParLabel) As Long
Dim cTreeInfo As IHsvTreeInfo, lParID As Long, lNumDesc As Long
Set cTreeInfo = m_cMetadata.Entities
lParID = cTreeInfo.GetItemID(sParLabel)
cTreeInfo.GetNumDescendants lParID, lNumDesc
getEntDescendants = lNumDesc
End Function
