DFRST

DFRST returns the first member of a specified dimension. The first member in a dimension is the member with an index number of 1.

The member with an index number of 1 might not be listed first in the tree. Index numbers are assigned to members when they are added to a dimension. For example, if members were added and then reordered, the first member listed in the tree might not have an index of 1.

To determine the index number of a member use the DIMIX function.
