Elemental MDX: "Relative" Member Functions

n this three-part article, we will build upon the overview of the "family" basic member functions we began in Elemental MDX: Members, and an Introduction to Members Functions, and expose three "relative" member functions. As a part of our examination of these functions, we will introduce calculated members and named sets briefly, as an avenue to demonstrating the use of the "relative" member functions. (We will take up these components in far more detail as the series progresses, but, for now, we will preview their characteristics and dive right into using them.)
