The first child of a parent is its own first sibling.

This function is defined as *Member_Expression.*Parent.FirstChild. For detailed reference information, see the topics Parent (PEL) and FirstChild (PEL).

The PEL compiler can generate SQL code for this function when the function is part of an absolute reference. The compiler cannot generate SQL code when the function is part of a relative reference.

PEL cannot be used to reference user-created member views in non-time dimensions. To write a business rule that references a member view in a non-time dimension, use a native Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) implementation.
