    XFGetMemberInfo only has 3 arguments.  If you wanted the description for an account called "Revenue", you would use this syntax.
    =XFGetMemberInfo("Description","Account","Revenue")

For those who find this looking for the same thing, here is the correct API:
XFGetMemberInfo(string memberInfoType, string dimTypeName, string memberName)

Valid options for memberInfoType:

Currency
CurrencyId
Description
DimId
DimName
Id
Name
NameAndDescription
NameOrDescription

 

Valid options for dimTypeName :
Note: DimTypeId in parentheses is just for reference, don't include it in XFGetMemberInfo:

Entity (0)
Consolidation (1)
Scenario (2)
Time (3)
View (4)
Account (5)
Flow (6)
Origin (7)
IC (8)
UD1 (9)
UD2 (10)
UD3 (11)
UD4 (12)
UD5 (13)
UD6 (14)
UD7 (15)
UD8 (16)

Hey Robb,

Is there way to pull the "Text" section using XFGetMemberInfo? Like any of the Text 1 to Text 8 fields?

Thanks,

Will
