Maximum Capacity Of SSAS Object

Today, one of my colleague asked me, what is maximum number of measures can be created within a Measure group?, I don't know the answer for that, but the question insist me to find the solution for that.

When I search the solution for this by Google, I came across following information of other SSAS Object's limitation.

Hope it helps youSmile
