INTRODUCTION
This article introduces some new Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) functions that are added to Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services.



MORE INFORMATION
After you apply this hotfix, the following functions are added to SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services:

This function takes a number or a string and then returns a decimal from the original with the fraction part removed.

For example, Int(5.6) returns 5. Int(-7.8) returns -8.
 * Str

This function takes a number or a string and then returns a string conversion in case the original is a number.
