    Nitishkrish16  There are many ways to achieve this.For now i can think of this-

    1. You can write a sql query using the data adapter to output the records.

      Below example to extract unique members.Modify the query as per your requirement.

    Check the dim table for dimtypeid and name

    SELECT  
    Member.MemberId, 
    Member.Name
    FROM 
    Relationship 
    RIGHT OUTER JOIN Member 
    ON Relationship.DimTypeId = Member.DimTypeId AND Relationship.ParentId = Member.MemberId
    WHERE 
    (Member.DimTypeId = 0) AND (Relationship.ParentId IS NULL) 
    ORDER BY 
    Member.Name

     2. You can use Mindstream metadata manager to extract Parent-child file for any dimension

    3. You can use grid view in dimensions to achieve the same. Tick on Parent-child relationship with Name and parent anme in filter -> Export to csv
