I have a parameter value 'SF - LYON' while trying to pass in where condition:
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS [Organization].[Organization].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION
MEMBER [Measures].[Parametervalue] AS [Organization].[Organization].CurrentMember.UNIQUENAME
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Organization].[Organization].CurrentMember.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT non empty {[Measures].[ParameterCaption]
, [Measures].[ParameterValue]
, [Measures].[ParameterLevel] } ON COLUMNS
FROM [IRIS]
WHERE STRTomember('SF - LYON', CONSTRAINED) //#parameter=SF - LYON`
But I am getting this error:
Query (10, 1) The restrictions imposed by the CONSTRAINED flag in the STRTOMEMBER function were violated.
When I try it like this:
WHERE STRTomember('[SF - LYON]', CONSTRAINED) //#parameter=SF - LYON
it is working.
So my question is: How do I pass the square brackets [] through a parameter to get the desired result?
You can build up the parameter string with square brackets before passing it to the strToMember function

In the following MDX query, I want to set the value of [Measures].[Label] as the string literal "Net Value" instead of NULL (i.e. using a string literal to populate the values in the label column). I'm scratching my head about how to do this in MDX. Tons of background with SQL, but a relative newbie with SSAS.
`WITH
Member [Measures].[Label] AS NULL
Member [Measures].[Value] AS [Measures].[Net Amt]
SELECT NON EMPTY
(
{[Time].[Quarter].[Quarter]},
{[Time].[Month].[Month]},
{[Time].[Work Week].[Work Week]},
{[Customer].[Region Cd].[Region Cd]},
{[Product].[Cd Nm].[Cd Nm]}
) ON Rows,
NON EMPTY
(
{
[Measures].[Value],
[Measures].[Label]
}
) ON Columns
FROM [Reporting]
WHERE
(
{
[Time].[Year].[Year].&[2022]:[Time].[Year].[Year].&[2023]
},
{[Segment].[Segment Nm].[Segment Nm].&[SEG VALUE]}
)`
If I try a value in double quotes, the query just times out without finishing. Just using a null like this only takes 2 seconds to return.
Member [Measures].[Label] AS "Net Amt"
The problem with putting a constant is that the NON EMPTY now returns every combination of Time, Customer and Product.
Instead you want to return a constant but only on rows where the Net Amt measure is not empty.
Member [Measures].[Label] AS IIF(Not(IsEmpty([Measures].[Net Amt])),"Net Amt",Null)
Alternately you could use a constant but use the NonEmpty function instead against the Net Amt measure only:
Member [Measures].[Label] AS "Net Amt"
Member [Measures].[Value] AS [Measures].[Net Amt]
SELECT NonEmpty(
{
{[Time].[Quarter].[Quarter]}*
{[Time].[Month].[Month]}*
{[Time].[Work Week].[Work Week]}*
{[Customer].[Region Cd].[Region Cd]}*
{[Product].[Cd Nm].[Cd Nm]}
},
[Measures].[Net Amt]
) ON Rows,
{
[Measures].[Value],
[Measures].[Label]
}
ON Columns
I want to tuple using member key of [Dim].[Country]
{[Dim].[Country].CurrentMember.Member_Key},
STRTOSET("[User].[ID].&[" + mid(username, instr(username, "\")+1) + "]")
But when I use CurrentMember.Member_Key function I get the following error:
The function expects a tuple set expression for the 1 argument. A string or numeric expression was used.
If I write it like this using "members" is works. But then it will tuple with the full name (100 - Norway) but my goal is to tuple it with just the key part e.g "100"
{[Dim].[Country].members},
STRTOSET("[User].[ID].&[" + mid(username, instr(username, "\")+1) + "]")
Best regards,
Rubrix
Instead of [Dim].[Country].CurrentMember.Member_Key you should do something like this:
with member [Measures].CountryKey as [Dim].[Country].CurrentMember.Member_Key
So something like this could work (on Adventure Works):
with member [Measures].CountryKey as [Geography].[Country].CurrentMember.Member_Key
SELECT ([Measures].CountryKey, StrToSet ('[Geography].[State-Province].Members') )
ON 0
FROM [Adventure Works]
Below the MDX statement on icCube. (Note that icCube has a non-native language component, called function).
with function article_list() as topcount([Product].[Product].[Article], [amount], 10)
function benchmark_best_index2(i) as sum(order(topcount([Product].[Product].[Article], [amount], 10), [measures].[amount], desc).(i-1) , [measures].[amount])
// why doesnot the following function work?
function benchmark_best_index(list,i) as sum(order(list, [measures].[amount], desc).(i-1), [measures].[amount])
member [measures].[bm_top_amount_doesnotwork] as benchmark_best_index(article_list(),1)
member [measures].[bm_top_amount_doesnotwork_either] as benchmark_best_index( topcount([Product].[Product].[Article], [amount], 10),1)
member [measures].[bm_top_amount_works] as benchmark_best_index2(1)
select { [measures].[amount],[measures].[bm_top_amount_doesnotwork], [measures].[bm_top_amount_doesnotwork_either], [measures].[bm_top_amount_works]} on 0
,article_list() on 1
from sales
I cannot get the calculated measure [bm_top_amount_doesnotwork] and [bm_top_amount_doesnotwork_either] to work.
My idea is to have 2 generic functions, with the 2nd one calling the first one. The end result is a benchmark value that can be used for charts, calculations and so on.
I see this is not possible form the above stated MDX. But is it possible? And if YES, how?
We've to check in detail what went wrong (issue) in the meantime you can force the type of the parameter so the MDX parser knows it is a set :
sum(order( {list} , [measures].[amount], desc).(i-1), [measures].[amount])
This MDX function raise error :
with member measures.x as
(
[Date].[Date].[Date].&[20160101] : [Date].[Date].[Date].currentmember.value
,
[Measures].[current balance]
)
select measures.x on columns,
[Branch].[HeadOffice Branch].[Head Office Code] on rows
from MyCube
Error is :
The CURRENTMEMBER function expects a hierarchy expression for the 1 argument. A member expression was used.
But when I use
[Date].[Date].[Date].&[20160101] : [Date].[Date].[Date].&[20160131]
It works good
why?
This is valid mdx:
[Date].[Date].[Date].&[20160101] : [Date].[Date].currentmember
Although this is not:
WITH member measures.x AS
(
[Date].[Date].[Date].&[20160101] : [Date].[Date].currentmember
,
[Measures].[current balance]
)
It is not valid because round braces (...) signify a tuple but a tuple requires exact co-ordinates so the first argument cannot be a set.
You could add an aggregation such as SUM:
WITH member measures.x AS
SUM
(
[Date].[Date].[Date].&[20160101] : [Date].[Date].currentmember
,
[Measures].[current balance]
)
This is valid mdx but if you do not have [Date].[Date] in context i.e. in the WHERE or SELECT clause then all it is returning is the All member.
Why are you using [Date].[Date].currentmember ?
CURRENTMEMBER works on an attribute hierarchy (in your case [Date].[Date]). So [Date].[Date].CURRENTMEMBER will work.
Also you will need to take out the value selector, as your expression returns a set of dates (member : member returns a set of all the members between those two members).
I am trying to create a Calculated Member to get a sum up to last week.
No problem to get the week value (I need it to be two digits i.e. '05', so adding 100-1 )
with
Member [Measures].Week as
'right(str(int(99+datepart ( ''ww'', Now()))),2)'
-- That works as expected
member [Measures].SalesUpToWeek as
'strtomember(
"aggregate(periodstodate([Dim].[2015],[Dim].[2015].[" + ([Measures].Week) + "]),[Measures].[Sales])")'
I get the literal value
aggregate(
periodstodate([Dim].[2015],[Dim].[2015].[25])
,[Measures].[Sales]
)
What I need is the value of this MDX calculation.
All other attempts end up with a syntax error. Just as an example
member [Measures].SumToWeek as
'aggregate(
periodstodate(
[Dim].[2015],[Dim].[2015].[' + strtomember([Measures].Week) + '])
,[Measures].[Sales])'
Error
Lexical error at line 2, column 0. Encountered: after : "[\n"
Any idea?
[Measures].Week is already a string entity. You don't need to put StrToMember around it. Instead you should have it outside the string you dynamically defined.
with
Member [Measures].Week as
"right(str(int(99+datepart ( ''ww'', Now()))),2)"
member [Measures].SumToWeek as
aggregate(
periodstodate(
[Dim].[2015],
StrToMember("[Dim].[2015].[" + [Measures].Week + "]")
)
,
[Measures].[Sales]
)
This is your error:
strtomember([Measures].Week)
Let us say that [Measures].Week is equal to 15 then you are trying to do this:
strtomember(15)
So there are two errors in the above:
You're feeding a numeric into a functions that converts Strings to Memebers
You need to feed in the full string representation of the member i.e."[Dim].[2015].[15]"
Maybe try putting the strToMember function around the string that is the representation of the member:
MEMBER[Measures].SumToWeek AS
'aggregate(
periodstodate(
[Dim].[2015],
strtomember('[Dim].[2015].[' + [Measures].Week + ']', constrained)
)
,[Measures].[Sales])'
Here is the MSDN reference for the function strtomember:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms146022.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
Edit
Looking at this previous post: (StrToMember does not accept calculated measure (mdx))
...you need to create the member before feeding it into the new measure, so:
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[Week] AS
Right
(
Str(Int(99 + Datepart('ww',Now())))
,2
)
MEMBER [Dim].[2015].[TargetWeek] AS
StrToMember
(
'[Dim].[2015].[' + [Measures].Week + ']'
,constrained
)
MEMBER [Measures].SumToWeek AS
Aggregate
(
PeriodsToDate
(
[Dim].[2015]
,[Dim].[2015].[TargetWeek]
)
,[Measures].[Sales]
)
Edit2
Ok if you wish to use PeriodsToDate then we need to use StrToSet and then use the member in this set inside the function. This is because custom members lose their family ties and are therefore useless inside some mdx functions.
Here is a working script in AdvWrks illustrating the approach I'm suggesting:
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[Wk] AS
Right
(
Str(Int(99 + Datepart('ww',Now())))
,2
)
SET [TargetWeek] AS
StrToSet
(
'[Date].[Calendar Weeks].[Calendar Week].[Week ' + cstr([Measures].[Wk]) + ' CY 2007]'
)
MEMBER [Measures].[SumToWeek] AS
Aggregate
(
PeriodsToDate
(
[Date].[Calendar Weeks].[Calendar Year]
,[TargetWeek].item(0).item(0)
)
,([Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])
)
SELECT
{[Measures].[SumToWeek]} ON 0,
[Product].[Product Categories].[All] ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works];
I got an interesting suggestion on Pentaho forums that pointed me to a nice blog post which allowed to write an elegant solution:
http://diethardsteiner.blogspot.com.es/2009/10/current-date-function-on-mondrian.html
with
member [Measures].sm as aggregate(
periodstodate(
currentdatemember([Dim],'["Dim"]\.[yyyy]'), -- current year
currentdatemember([Dim],'["Dim"]\.[yyyy]\.[ww]').lag(1) -- previous week
),
[Measures].[Sales])
