Which parameter type displays a drop-down list of members for user selection?

• A. Member List parameter
• B. Input Value parameter
• C. Literal Value parameter
• D. Bound List parameter

Answer: (A)

When you want the user to pick from the actual members of a dimension, the parameter type you use is designed to populate a drop-down with those dimension members. This kind of parameter automatically pulls the member list from the specified dimension and presents it as a single-select drop-down, so only valid dimension members can be chosen. It’s ideal for guiding users to select a specific member within the hierarchy without free-form typing.

The other options don’t fit this behavior. An input value parameter provides a free-form field for typing, not a drop-down. A literal value parameter holds a fixed value that cannot be changed by the user. A bound list parameter shows values from a predefined list or data source, which may not correspond to dimension members.
