Member name	Description
Automatic	Specifies that for the Cube or Dimension data items, Null values are treated as ZeroOrBlank.
Error	Null value is illegal in this data item.
Preserve	Specifies that the Null value is preserved.

ZeroOrBlank is how Analysis Services 2000 handles Null values.

UnknownMember causes a data integrity error at processing time.

Error causes a data integrity error at processing time and the server will discard the record.
