Understanding Implicit Tuples and Explicit Tuples

Implicit tuples are the combinations of members that are used to calculate a single data cube but do not comprise an explicit dimension set.

Explicit tuples are the valid combinations of members that are instantiated from an explicit dimension set and are instantiated from these sources:

• Data loaded from the database.

• Data loaded by using the SetData method.

• Other explicit tuples in explicit dimension supersets.
