I'm attempting to get the top 10 countries by value from any measures where the discount rate is -20, and for a specific date. I've created a simple dynamic set defined as:
CREATE DYNAMIC SET CURRENTCUBE.[Top10CountryBy20Disc]
AS
TopCount
( [Customer].[Country].members,
10, [Discount].[Discount].&[-20%])
;
This gives me the top 10 customers summed by the overall measure value, but I need to filter to a specific date. The overall top 10 won't be the same as the top 10 on a particular date, so I need to include some date context. Currently the numbers I get back for each country are correct, but it is the list of countries (the top 10 list) that is incorrect.
I use the set [Latest] listed below in a lot of other reports, and this works just fine, but am struggling to combine this when using the above set.
CREATE DYNAMIC SET CURRENTCUBE.[Latest]
AS FILTER(
[Date].[Date Key].[Date Key].members, IsDate([Date].[Date Key].currentmember.membervalue)
AND (
DateDiff("d", [Date].[Date Key].currentmember.membervalue, IIF(Weekday(Now()) = 2, 3, 1)
);
Logically I am trying to do something along the lines of the below, which is invalid syntax:
TopCount
( [Customer].[Country].members,
10, ([Discount].[Discount].&[-20%], [Latest]))
;
Would be grateful for some suggestions/direction on this.
This approach solved my issue:
GENERATE ( [Latest],
{TopCount
( descendants([Customer].[Country],,AFTER),
10,
VBA!Abs(([Discount].[Discount].&[-20%], ([Measures].[MeasureName],[Date].[Date Key].currentmember)))
)
}
);

I'm trying to figure out how to calculate my compliance % measures based on if statements.
If [alias]=company A, then the percentage should equal 100%. If it does not, then it should calculate the total complying spend/total overall spend.
However, when I tried to set up the if statement it gives me an error and says that the single value for "alias" column cannot be determined.
I have tried If(Values) statements, but I need it to return more than one value.
Measures always aggregate. The question is what you want the compliance calculation to be when you're looking at 2 companies? 3 companies? Right now, neither your question nor your formula accounts for this possibility at all, hence the error.
If you're thinking "Compliance % doesn't make sense if you're looking at more than one company", then you can write your formula to show BLANK() if there's more than one company:
IF (
HASONEVALUE ( 'Waste Hauling Extract'[Alias] ),
IF (
VALUES ( 'Waste Hauling Extract'[Alias] ) = "company A",
[PCT-Compliant],
[PCT Non-compliant]
),
BLANK ()
)
If you want something else to happen when there's more than one company, then DAX functions like CALCULATE, SUMX or AVERAGEX would allow you to do what you want to do.
The trick with DAX generally is that the formula has to make sense not just on individual rows of a table (where Alias has a unique value), but also on subtotals and grand totals (where Alias does not have a unique value).
Based on your comment that any inclusion of company A results in 100%, you could do something such as:
IF (
ISBLANK (
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( 'Waste Hauling Extract' ),
FILTER ( 'Waste Hauling Extract', 'Waste Hauling Extract'[Alias] = "company A" )
)
),
[PCT Non-compliant],
[PCT-Compliant]
)
The new CALCULATE statement filters the Waste Hauling Extract table to just company A rows, and then counts those rows. If there are no company A rows, then after the filter it will be an empty table and the row count will be blank (rather than 0). I check for this with ISBLANK() and then display either the Non-Compliant or Compliant number accordingly.
Note: the FILTER to just company A only applies to the CALCULATE statement; it doesn't impact the PCT measures at all.
I am working with a system were items are created (postDate dimension) and closed (endDate dimension). The endDate column is always populated with the last time the item was seen. An item is considered closed in a certain time if its last seen date is before the date you are querying. Each row in the fact table has the item, postDate, endDate, locationID, and some other dimensions used for aggregations. What I am trying to accomplish is getting all items still active for a given time frame. For example I want to know all items posted in November 2008 or before November 2008 that has not yet closed. In SQL it would look something like:
SELECT C.geoCountyArea,TM.CalendarYear,COUNT(DISTINCT a.itemid)
FROM [dbo].[factTable] a
JOIN dbo.dimDate AS TM
ON TM.DateKey BETWEEN postDate AND endDate
JOIN [dbo].[dim_geography] C
ON A.geographyID=C.geographyID
WHERE C.geoCountyArea = '1204000057'
AND TM.CalendarYear = 2008 AND TM.MonthNumberOfYear = 11
GROUP BY C.geoCountyArea,TM.CalendarYear
ORDER BY C.geoCountyArea,TM.CalendarYear
This returns 27,715 which is expected. Now, in MDX this looks like:
WITH MEMBER Measures.[itemCount] AS
AGGREGATE(
{NULL:[PostDate].[Month Name].&[2008]&[11]} * {[EndDate].[Month Name].&[2008]&[11]:NULL},
[Measures].[Fact_itemCount]
)
SELECT NON EMPTY (
Measures.[itemCount]
) ON 0,
NON EMPTY (
{[PostDate].[Month Name].&[2008]&[11]},
{[Geography].[Geo County Area].&[1204000057]}
)ON 1
FROM [Cube];
This returns 27,717 - which is 2 more than the SQL version that could be due to items with no end Date posted. Now, the complication comes when I want to get more than one explicit time - for example item count for all months in 2008 or item count for all years. I looked up methods to link a given param to another one via roll playing dimensions and came across this link. I altered my script so it looks like:
WITH MEMBER Measures.[itemCount] AS
AGGREGATE(
{NULL:LINKMEMBER([DATE].[Calendar].CURRENTMEMBER
,[PostDate].[Calendar])}
* {LINKMEMBER([DATE].[Calendar].CURRENTMEMBER
, [EndDate].[Calendar]):NULL}
, [Measures].[Fact_itemCount]
)
SELECT {Measures.[jobCount]} ON 0,
NON EMPTY (
{[DATE].[Month Name].&[2008]&[11]},
{[Geography].[Geo County Area].&[1204000057]}
)ON 1
FROM [Cube];
This, however, returns only the items created in November 2008 - value of 14,884. If I add in other months I do get individual counts for each month but, again, these are just the items created in those months.
How do I get the "active" item count for a given month/year/quarter without having do explicitly declare the time values in the AGGREGATE?
Can you use NonEmpty?
WITH MEMBER Measures.[itemCount] AS
AGGREGATE(
{NULL:
NONEMPTY(
[PostDate].[Month Name].MEMBERS //<<AMEND TO EXACT STRUCTURE USED IN YOUR CUBE
,[DATE].[Calendar].CURRENTMEMBER
).ITEM(0).ITEM(0)}
* {NONEMPTY(
[EndDate].[Month Name].MEMBERS //<<AMEND TO EXACT STRUCTURE USED IN YOUR CUBE
,[DATE].[Calendar].CURRENTMEMBER
).ITEM(0).ITEM(0): NULL}
, [Measures].[Fact_itemCount]
)
...
This ended up being the solution that provided valid results (tested against SQL calls against the warehouse tables):
WITH MEMBER Measures.[itemCount] AS
AGGREGATE(
{NULL:LINKMEMBER([Post Date].[Calendar],
[Post Date].[Calendar])}
* {LINKMEMBER([Post Date].[Calendar],
[End Date].[Calendar]):NULL},
[Measures].[Fact_itemCount]
)
SELECT {Measures.[itemCount]} ON 0,
NON EMPTY (
{[Post Date].[Month Name].Children},
{[Geography].[Geo County Area].&[1204000057]}
)
FROM [Cube]
Not that I am doing LINKMEMBER against the post and end dates - not against the global Date measure.
I would like to order a set of results in an MDX query which also includes a crossjoin.
I have the following measures and dimensions:
[Measures].[Starts]
[Framework].[Framework Name]
[Framework].[Pathway Name]
I would like to create a list of the (corresponding) Framework and Pathway names that correspond to the top 25 numbers of [Measures].[Starts].
I have managed to output a FULL list of results using:
select [Measures].[Starts] on COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY CrossJoin(
Hierarchize({DrilldownLevel({[Framework].[Pathway Name].Children})}),
Hierarchize({DrilldownLevel({[Framework].[Framework Name].Children})})
) on ROWS
from [DataCube]
to create the following example output:
However, I need it to be sorted by the starts in descending order (and preferably only keep the top 25 results). I have tried almost everything and have failed. A google search didn't find any results.
Did you stumble across the TopCount function?
select [Measures].[Starts] on COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY
TopCount
(
CrossJoin
(
Hierarchize({DrilldownLevel({[Framework].[Pathway Name].Children})}),
Hierarchize({DrilldownLevel({[Framework].[Framework Name].Children})})
),
25,
[Measures].[Starts]
) on ROWS
from [DataCube]
Here's the msdn link.

For efficiency it is better to order the set before using the TopCount function:
WITH
SET [SetOrdered] AS
ORDER(
{DrilldownLevel([Framework].[Pathway Name].Children)}
*{DrilldownLevel([Framework].[Framework Name].Children)}
,[Measures].[Starts]
,BDESC
)
SET [Set25] AS
TOPCOUNT(
[SetOrdered]
,25
)
SELECT
[Measures].[Starts] on 0,
NON EMPTY
[Set25] on 1
FROM [DataCube];
I have the below dataset:
using the measure:
BalanceCount := COUNT(Balances[Balance])
which gives me the result:
However, I want the Grand Total to show the maximum amount of the BalanceCount, which is 2.
NewMeasure:=
MAXX(
SUMMARIZE(
FactTable
,FactTable[Account]
,FactTable[MonthEnd]
)
,[BalanceCount]
)
SUMMARIZE() groups by the columns specified, and MAXX() iterates through the table specified, returning the maximum of the expression in the second argument evaluated for each row in its input table.
Since the filter context will limit the rows of the fact table, we'll only have the appropriate subsets in each column/row grand total.
I found a solution that works for this particular case. It will not work if columns other than Account and MonthEnd are included in the filter context.
MaxBalanceCount:=
MAXX ( SUMMARIZE (
Balances,
Balances[Account],
Balances[MonthEnd]
),
CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Balances ) )
)
I have a table (getECRs) in PowerPivot.
Right now, I've been able to create a calculated column that counts how many times the row's customer ID (BAN) occurs in the BAN column with the following formula:
=CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(getECRs),ALLEXCEPT(getECRs,getECRs[BAN]))
What I'm having difficulty with is adding multiple criteria to the CALCULATE formula in PowerPivot.
Each row has a column that gives the date the request was generated _CreateDateKey. I'm trying to include criteria that would only include multiple BANs if they fall within 7 days (before or after) the _CreateDateKey for the row.
For example for one BAN, there are the following dates and their expected counts:
_CreateDateKey Count Explanation
6/13/2014 3 Does not include 6/23
6/13/2014 3 Does not include 6/23
6/16/2014 4 Includes all
6/23/2014 2 Does not include the 2 items from 6/13
In Excel I would use a COUNTIFS statement, like below to get the desired result (using table structure naming)
=COUNTIFS([BAN],[#BAN],[_CreateDateKey],">="&[#[_CreateDateKey]]-7,[_CreateDateKey],"<="&[#[_CreateDateKey]]+7)
But I can't seem to figure out the relative criteria needed for the dates. I tried the following as a criteria to the CALCULATE function, but it resulted in an error:
getECRs[_CreateDateKey]>=[_CreateDateKey]-7
Error: Column '_CreateDateKey' cannot be found or may not be used in this expression.
This formula answers your specific question. It's a good pattern to get down as it's highly re-usable - the EARLIER() is referencing the value of the current row (slightly more complex than this but that is the end result):
=
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( getECRs ),
FILTER (
getECRs,
getECRs[BAN] = EARLIER ( getECRs[BAN] )
&& getECRs[_CreateDateKey]
>= EARLIER ( getECRs[_CreateDateKey] ) - 7
&& getECRs[_CreateDateKey]
<= EARLIER ( getECRs[_CreateDateKey] ) + 7
)
)
Fundamentally you should probably be looking to get away from the 'Excel mindset' of using a calculated column and deal with this using a measure.
An adaptation of the above would look like this - it would use the filter context of the PIVOT in which you were using it (e.g. if BAN was rows then you would get the count for that BAN).
You may need to adjust the ALL() if is too 'open' for your real world context and you might have to deal with totals using HASONEVALUE():
=
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( getECRs ),
FILTER (
ALL(getECRs),
getECRs[_CreateDateKey] >= MAX ( getECRs[_CreateDateKey] ) - 7 &&
getECRs[_CreateDateKey] <= MAX ( getECRs[_CreateDateKey] ) + 7
)
)
