<metadataStrings> (Metadata String Store)

This element represents the metadata string store. This is a collection of strings that are used as a resource for the rest of the metadata part. It contains all the required OLAP strings used in the spreadsheet including the connection name, as well as mdx expressions identifying specific members and sets. It is indexed from individual metadata records so that the records can use these strings to build up the necessary mdx statements to retrieve the correct data from the OLAP cube.
