Required. MDX SELECT QUERY.

FILTERS

Optional. Any additional filters to add to the query. If specified, this property must be an array of strings, each of which specifies a filter value.

WAIT

Example Response

Response for MDX Query

Note that POST /Data/PivotExecute and POST /Data/MDXUpdateResults return the same response body.

The Info.QueryID property contains the query ID, which you need as input for the POST /Data/MDXCancelQuery and POST /Data/MDXUpdateResults services. An Info.ResultsComplete property with a value of 1 indicates that the MDX query has completed. Note that if the Info.PendingResults property has a value of 1, plugins are still computing, although the rest of the query may have completed. An Info.PendingResults property with a value of 0 indicates that any plugins have finished computing.

For information that applies to all response objects, see Notes on the Response Objects.
