I have an OLAP cube via SSAS and I would like to create a calculated measure which will be calculated upon several conditions.
I have a Time dimension and a Dimension1 containing a MinMonthId attribute.
The new measure has to be calculated only after the MinMonthId so I create the measure like this :
NewMeasure = IIF([TimeDimension].[MonthId].currentmember.MemberValue < [Dimension1].[MinMonthId].currentmember.MemberValue, NULL, [Measures].[MeasureA] - [Measures].[MeasureB]);
It works if MinMonthId appears in the reporting but it doesn't work otherwise, it's empty
Any Idea ?
FactTable :
Dim1_ID (linked to Dimension1.Dim1_ID)
Month_ID (linked to TimeDimension.MOnthId)
MeasureA
MeasureB
TimeDimension (with hierarchy MonthId -> YearId)
MonthId
YearId
Dimension1:
Dim1_ID
MinMonthId

I Tried to create a calculated measure inn my SSAS cube with complex filters as the following:
([Measures].[Amount],[Scenarios].[Scenario Key].&[1],[AccountType],[AccountType].[Account Type].&[Bank],[AccountType].[Account Type].&[Cash],[AccountType].[Account Type].&[NotesReceivable],[JE Type].[JE Type].&[CI],[JE Type].[JE Type].&[NR])
I want to Get the summation of amount value which has:
Scenario Key = 1
Account Type IN ("Bank","Cash","NotesReceivable")
JE Type IN ("CI","NR")
But i Get this measure as Null So can any one can help to solve this?
It's not working because you are doing an intersection of the same dimension hierarchy:
[AccountType].[Account Type].&[Bank],[AccountType].[Account Type].&[Cash]
means in MDX: Account Type = Bank AND Account Type = Cash at the same time.
Just use set of members and SUM function.
Try this one:
SUM(
{[AccountType].[Account Type].&[Bank]
,[AccountType].[Account Type].&[Cash]
,[AccountType].[Account Type].&[NotesReceivable]}
*
{[JE Type].[JE Type].&[CI]
,[JE Type].[JE Type].&[NR]}
,([Scenarios].[Scenario Key].&[1],[Measures].[Amount]))
Explanation:
SUM - aggregate function
Dimension1 filter * Dimension2 filter - gave all combinations
(Dimension3,measure) - filters out single-selected dimensions
I am trying to replicate the following sql statement into MDX so that I can create a calculated member in the cube using the base loaded members instead of having to calculate it outside the cube in the table and then loading it
SUM(CASE WHEN ((A.SALES_TYPE_CD = 1) AND (A.REG_SALES=0))
THEN A.WIN_SALES
ELSE 0
END) AS Z_SALES
I am currently loading SALES_TYPE_CD as a dimension and REG_SALES and WIN_SALES as measures.
I also have a few other dimensions in the cube but for simplicity, lets just say I have 2 other dimensions, LOCATION and ITEM
The dimension has LOCATION has 3 levels, "Region"->"District"->"Store", ordered from top to bottom level.
The dimension has ITEM has 3 levels, "CLASS"->"SUBCLASS"->"SKU", ordered from top to bottom level.
The dimension has SALES TYPE has 2 levels, "SALES_TYPE_GROUP"->"SALES_TYPE_CD", ordered from top to bottom level.
I know that I cannot create a simple calculated member in the cube which crossjoins the "SALES_TYPE" dimension with another dimension to get the answer I want.
I would think that it would be a more complicated MDX statement something like :
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Z_Sales]
AS 'sum(filter(crossjoin(leaves(), [Sales Type].[Sales Type].
[Sales_Type_CD].&[1]), [Measures].[REG_SALES]=0),[Measures].
[WIN_SALES])',
FORMAT_STRING = '#,#',
VISIBLE = 1 ;
But this does not seem to return the desired result.
What would be the proper MDX code to generate the desired result?
I did a bunch of testing with the data and I now know that there is no way I can get the right answer by using MDX alone in this scenario. Like "Greg" and "Tab" suggested, the only way would be to have reg sales as a dimension. Since this is a measure, that is out of the question because of the large number of possibilities for the value which has a data type of decimal (18,2)
Thanks for taking the time to answer the question.
I am trying to create a measure in SSAS 2012 that looks something like that in MDX:
SELECT
{[Measures].[DWH FACT Events Count]} ON COLUMNS
FROM [27BI]
WHERE
[DWH DIM Event Name].[Event Name].&[wizard_done-button_click];
This gives me the result of counting rows (DWH FACT Events Count) when the Event Name is fixated to be "wizard_done-button_click".
I want this measure to update on each slice of the cube (i.e choose a country). While this query works, I don't know how to get it to become an actual measure.
One solution I saw was to create a Calculation:
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[WizardDone]
AS
(
[Measures].[DWH FACT Events Count] ,
[DWH DIM Event Name].[Event Name].&[wizard_done-button_click]
)
This calculated member gives me the result I want, but it doesn't update when I browse the cube and try to slice it by different dimensions.
I'm attempting to create a new Calculated Measure that is based on 2 different attributes. I can query the data directly to see that the values are there, but when I create the Calculated Member, it always returns null.
Here is what I have so far:
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Absorption]
AS sum
(
Filter([Expense].MEMBERS, [Expense].[Amount Category] = "OS"
AND ([Expense].[Account Number] >= 51000
AND [Expense].[Account Number] < 52000))
,
[Measures].[Amount - Expense]
),
VISIBLE = 1 , ASSOCIATED_MEASURE_GROUP = 'Expense';
Ultimately, I need to repeat this same pattern many times. A particular accounting "type" (Absorption, Selling & Marketing, Adminstrative, R&D, etc.) is based on a combination of the Category and a range of Account Numbers.
I've tried several combinations of Sum, Aggregate, Filter, IIF, etc. with no luck, the value is always null.
However, if I don't use Filter and just create a Tuple with 2 values, it does give me the data I'd expect, like this:
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Absorption]
AS sum
(
{( [Expense].[Amount Category].&[OS], [Expense].[Account Number].&[51400] )}
,
[Measures].[Amount - Expense]
),
VISIBLE = 1 , ASSOCIATED_MEASURE_GROUP = 'Expense';
But, I need to specify multiple account numbers, not just one.
In general, you should only use the FILTER function when you need to filter your fact table based on the value of some measure (for instance, all Sales Orders where Sales Amount > 10.000). It is not intended to filter members based on dimension properties (although it could probably work, but the performance would likely suffer).
If you want to filter by members of one or more dimension attributes, use tuples and sets to express the filtering:
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Absorption]
AS
Sum(
{[Expense].[Account Number].&[51000]:[Expense].[Account Number].&[52000].lag(1)} *
[Expense].[Amount Category].&[OS],
[Measures].[Amount - Expense]
),
VISIBLE = 1 , ASSOCIATED_MEASURE_GROUP = 'Expense';
Here, I've used the range operator : to construct a set consisting of all [Account Number] members greater than or equal to 51000 and less than 52000. I then cross-join * this set with the relevant [Amount Category] attribute, to get the relevant set of members that I want to sum my measure over.
Note that this only works if you actually have a member with the account number 51000 and 52000 in your Expense dimension (see comments).
An entirely different approach, would be to perform this logic in your ETL process. For example you could have a table of account-number ranges that map to a particular accounting type (Absorption, Selling & Marketing, etc.). You could then add a new attribute to your Expense-dimension, holding the accounting type for each account, and populate it using dynamic SQL and the aforementioned mapping table.
I don't go near cube scripts but do you not need to create some context via the currentmember function and also return some values for correct evaluation against the inequality operators (e.g.>) via the use of say the membervalue function ?
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Absorption]
AS sum
(
[Expense].[Amount Category].&[OS]
*
Filter(
[Expense].[Account Number].MEMBERS,
[Expense].[Account Number].currentmember.membervalue >= 51000
AND
[Expense].[Account Number].currentmember.membervalue < 52000
)
,
[Measures].[Amount - Expense]
),
VISIBLE = 1 , ASSOCIATED_MEASURE_GROUP = 'Expense';
EDIT
Dan has used the range operator :. Please make sure your hierarchy is ordered correctly and that the members you use with this operator actually exist. If they do not exist then they will be evaluated as null:
Against the AdvWks cube:
SELECT
{} ON 0
,{
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2008]&[4]
:
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2009]&[2]
} ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works];
Returns the following:
If the left hand member does not exist in the cube then it is evaluated as null and therefore open ended on that side:
SELECT
{} ON 0
,{
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2008]&[4]
:
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[1066]&[2] //<<year 1066 obviously not in our cube
} ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works];
Returns:
I'm not very experienced in OLAP Cube + MDX, and I'm having a hard time trying to use twice the same measure in a cube.
Let's say that we have 3 Dimensions: D_DATE, D_USER, D_TYPE_OF_SALE_TARGET and 3 tables of Fact: F_SALE, F_MEETING, F_SALE_TARGET
F_SALE is linked to D_USER (who make the sale) and D_DATE (when)
F_SALE_TARGET is linked to D_USER, D_DATE, D_TYPE_OF_SALE_TARGET (meaning: user has to reach various goals/targets for a given month).
I can browse my cube:
Rows = Date * User
Cols = Number of sale, Total amount of sale + the value of 1 target (in the WHERE clause, I filter on [Dim TYPE SALE TARGET].[Code].&[code.numberOfSales])
How can I add other columns for other targets? As all the targets are in the same table, I don't see how to add a second measure from [Measures].[Value - F_SALE_TARGET] linked to a different code, ie. [Dim TYPE SALE TARGET].[Code].&[code.amountOfSale].
your question is not clear to me but it seems like one way to accomplish that is by creating Calculated Members. Basically, select you cube in BIDS, go to the Calculations tab and create Calculated Members. You would be able to insert your MDX query there. For each target type you can create a different calculation such as: ([Measures].[Value - F_SALE_TARGET], [Dim TYPE SALE TARGET].[Code].&[code.amountOfSale])
