I am new to MDX and for now it looks like some hell to me.
I have a measure called Sales KG. It calculate sales amount based on table AData where I have column named Data_Date.
I need to get Sales KG value for specified range of dates.
The problem is I can't understand how to specify that range. It doesn't look like simple < and > are works here.
I totally lost and don't have much to show, but this is what I tried:
select
[Sales KG] on Columns
from [Model]
where ([Format_TT].[Супермаркет], [Data_Date].&[20160101] : [Data_Date].&[20170101])
But it tells me that can't convert string "20160101" into date type. And probably this is not what I want. I want it to be single value for date range in single cell.
What to do?..
Take a look at the below sample they will help .
Please note that "Date" is a dimesnion in the cube, which has an attribute "[Date]" in it. "[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]" in the cube. It is necessary to have them defined in the SSAS project, If one of them is not defined in the project but exists in the base tables of star schema it will not work. MDX can only see objects defined in the SSAS project
//First way
select
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
on columns
from [Adventure Works]
where {[Date].[Date].&[20130101]:[Date].[Date].&[20130131]}
Second way
select
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
on columns,
{[Date].[Date].&[20130101]:[Date].[Date].&[20130131]}
on rows
from [Adventure Works]

I am trying to do Cumulative Sum/ Running Total using the function below so the user can use any date level, but the requirement is to ignore some of the attributes from the calculation.
Function used:
SUM(NULL:Axis(1).Item(0).Item(Axis(1).Item(0).Count-1).Hierarchy.CurrentMember, [Measures].[ Number of Ticket])
Example:
The table below shows the Cumulative Sum as expected
Example - 1
Here by adding another attribute, Program Remaining, as shown below, its changes the Cumulative behavior, Because Excel will add that attribute to the grouping so it reset the cumulative sum:
Example - 2
Is there a way that I can exclude the Program Remaining attribute from the calculation (I have another 4 attributes that I want to exclude) so that the cumulative can be increased just like the first table even with adding these attribute.
I really appreciate any help
Try using the below sample query
with
member
[Measures].[Internet Sales AmountRunningtotal]
as
case when [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] = null then null
else
sum({[Product].[Subcategory].firstchild:[Product].[Subcategory].currentmember},[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])
end
select {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],
[Measures].[Internet Sales AmountRunningtotal]
} on columns,
non empty
([Date].[Calendar Year].[Calendar Year],[Date].[Calendar Quarter of Year].[Calendar Quarter of Year],
[Product].[Category].[Category],[Product].[Subcategory].[Subcategory])
on
rows
from
[Adventure Works]
So I explored the sample sent, Your only solutions is to keep the date in the inner most position, your query qouted above will break if you are not using entire members of an attribute.
This is a question regarding SSAS Cubes, MDX formulas and Power BI.
I have a measure with the active members per each month. So when I select for example 2018 it shouldn´t aggregate but return the last available month with active members, and if I break down by month it should give the active members for each month.
So I have this formula which works almost fine if querying in MS Management Studio:
with member [Measures].[Last existing SOCIOS] AS
Max(
EXISTING [DIM FECHA].[Jerarquía].[MES NOMBRE].members,
iif([Measures].[ACTIVOS] = 0,null,
[Measures].[ACTIVOS])
)
select {[Measures].[Last existing SOCIOS]} on columns,
[DIM FECHA].[MES NOMBRE].members on rows
from [cubo_Compromisos]
where [DIM FECHA].[AÑO].&[2018]
I would prefer to have the november value returned at the 'All' level. But this is not my main problem. The real issue is that when I use this measure in Power BI it behaves differently: when selecting multiple months it ignores the selected values and just returns the last value for the whole year.
In the screenshot below I have added the value returned by the KPI Card because that is the value that I want returned:
If I select items like this it does it right, but I need it to select all months, and not just one because I am using this measure along others:
Does anyone know the right MDX function to use or an alternative?

It does the same in a Pivot Table connected to a SSAS Cube.When I add the date dimension to the table it works fine. But when using the date dimension and filtering it without the dimension added as rows it returns the value for the whole year.
The function you are looking at is LastChild. Last Child on the upper level of the hierarchy will return the value you are looking at.
I think that function can be used in the Cube design in SSAS - then this will be the standard behavior. If you want to do it with a query you need to do something like:
SELECT [Date].[Fiscal].[Fiscal Quarter].[Q1 FY 2002].LastChild ON 0
FROM [Adventure Works]
To get the last month of the 1st quater (I used example from microsoft and another post on the subject )
I'm trying to add a calculated member to my cube, which will return the first fiscal year where there is any data at all in a particular measure.
The purpose is to suppress (i.e. NULLify) various year-on-year calculated measures when the year is this first year: in that year, comparison with the previous year is meaningless.
I've got this so far:
WITH MEMBER Measures.DataStartYear_Sales
AS
HEAD(
NONEMPTY([Calendar].[Fiscal Periods].[Fiscal Year].Members,[Measures].[QuantityOrdered])
,1).Item(0).Properties("NAME")
At the moment:
a. It's a query-scoped measure, as that's easier to experiment with.
b. It returns the first year's Name, as that's easier to see. Eventually I'll just return the member itself, and do an IS comparison against the year hierarchy .CurrentMember in the other calculated member calculations.
The problem I expected, which has happened, is that I only want this measure to be calculated once, over the whole cube. But when I used it in a query, it obviously reacts to the context. For example, if I stick the Products dimension on ROWS, the value of this measure will be different for each row, because each product's earliest order date is different.
That is of course useful, but it's not what I want. Is there some way to force this measure to ignore the query context, and always return the same value?
I looked into SCOPE_ISOLATION and SOLVE_ORDER, but they don't do what I'm trying to do here.
I suppose I could specify a tuple of Dimension1.All, Dimension2.All.... DimensionN.All, covering all dimensions in the cube, but that seems messy and fragile.
I think you might be able to accomplish this with static sets. Here is an example using Adventure Works that produces the same first year regardless of context:
WITH STATIC SET FirstYear AS
HEAD
(
NONEMPTY([Date].[Calendar Year].[Calendar Year].MEMBERS, [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])
, 1
)
MEMBER FirstYearName AS
FirstYear.ITEM(0).NAME
SELECT
[Measures].[FirstYearName] ON COLUMNS
, [Date].[Calendar Year].[Calendar Year].MEMBERS
//Add as many dimensions as you like here...for example
* [Product].[Product].[Product].MEMBERS
ON ROWS
FROM
[Adventure Works]
;
Example output:
That should hopefully put you on the right track.
My MDX is fledgling at best, and it is a realistic possibility that I don't even know how to phrase my question correctly to search for an answer. Sorry if this is a duplicate.
I have a date/time hierarchy [Dates]:
[Work Date].[Dates].[Year].[Quarter].[Month].[Day]
What I want to do is return the previous 5 years worth of data, for the month of X (let's assume January):
Year Sub Total
2008 645712.11
2009 848075.43
2010 765802.60
However, I'm having trouble restricting the "Year" data, based on the specific month. I have tried this MDX code, but it yields no results at all:
SELECT [Measures].[Sub Total] ON 0,
[Work Date].[Dates].[Year] ON 1
FROM (
SELECT [Work Date].[Dates].[Month].&[01] ON 0
FROM [Data Warehouse])
If I edit the sub-select I can get a specific year, quarter and month... but I only want to restrict the month portion and not the year. I've looked into using an EXCEPT clause, but I run into the same issue. Does that make any sense? I appreciate any help, and am not opposed to reading long articles if it will further my learning / understanding. Thanks!
After your explanation in comments: To get the same child of each hierarchy level you can use the MDX function COUSIN (here the reference on msdn). As documentation said:
Returns the child member with the same relative position under a
parent member as the specified child member.
so in your case your Date dimension has to be complete without missing months or days, so you can write a query like this (I've tested on AdventureWorks)
with member [Measures].[Sub Total]
as (Cousin([Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2004]&[1], [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember), [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]) , Format_string = 'Currency'
Select {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],[Measures].[Sub Total] } on 0
,{
[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2002]
,[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2003]
,[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2004]
} on 1
from [Adventure Works]
I've put side by side the total and the sub total for the years. I am considering only these 3 years because they are complete from jan to dec and I can apply cousin operator without problem.
Hope this help!
I want to create a barchart with a bar for each month and some measure.
But i also want to filter on a range of day which might not completly overlap some of the month.
When that happen I would like the aggregate count for those month to only aggregat over the days that fall in my date range not get the aggregate for the whole month.
Is that possible with MDX and if it is how should the request look like?
Create a second time dimension, using a virtual dimension of the original dimension. Use one dimension in the WHERE and another in the SELECT.
This often happens anyway if some people want 'Business Time' of quarters and periods, and others prefer months. Or if you have a financial year which runs April-April.
You can use subselect. You can find more information on this page and this page:
When a member is specified in the axis clause then that member with
its ascendants and descendants are included in the sub cube space for
the subselect; all non mentioned sibling members, in the axis or
slicer clause, and their descendants are filtered from the subspace.
This way, the space of the outer select has been limited to the
existing members in the axis clause or slicer clause, with their
ascendants and descendants as mentioned before.
Here is an example:
SELECT { [Customer].[Customer Geography].[Country].&[Australia]
, [Customer].[Customer Geography].[Country].&[United States]
} ON 1
, {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount], [Measures].[Reseller Sales Amount]} ON 0
FROM ( SELECT {[Customer].[Customer Geography].[Country].&[Australia]
, [Customer].[State-Province].&[WA]&[US]} ON 0
FROM [Adventure Works]
)
The result will contain one row for Autralia and another one for the United States. With the subselect, I restricted the value of United Stated to the Washington state.
One way I found to do it with Mondrian is as follow
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Units Shipped2] AS
SUM
(
{
exists([Store].[Store Country].currentmember.children,{[Store].[USA].[WA],[Store].[USA].[OR]})
},[Measures].[Units Shipped]
)
MEMBER [Measures].[Warehouse Sales2] AS
SUM
(
{
exists([Store].[Store Country].currentmember.children,{[Store].[USA].[WA],[Store].[USA].[OR]})
},[Measures].[Warehouse Sales]
)
SELECT
{[Measures].[Units Shipped2],[Measures].[Warehouse Sales2]} ON 0,
NON EMPTY [Store].[Store Country].Members on 1
FROM [Warehouse]
I am not sure if the filtering will be done in SQL like below and give good performance or be run locally
select Country, sum(unit_shipped)
where state in ('WA','OR' )
group by Country
