Dimension Name: The name of the dimension.
Hierarchy Name: The name of the hierarchy of the dimension.
Level Name: The name of the level of the hierarchy.

The Rows with Null Members report can contain the following messages.

DV-0006

This message indicates that null values exist in the dimension member column of a detail level. This indicates that the hierarchy is a "ragged" hierarchy. Some MDX-based tools (such as Excel) and SQL-based tools do not work correctly with ragged hierarchies. Also, a cube-organized materialized view cannot have a ragged hierarchy.

DV-0007

This message indicates that null values exist in the dimension member column of an aggregate level. This indicates that the hierarchy is a "skip-level" hierarchy. MDX-based tools and some SQL-based tools do not work correctly with skip-level hierarchies.
