Calcuatated Measure Not working against some dimensions - mdx

I have a calculated measure whose code is:
COUNT(
NONEMPTY(
NONEMPTY(
[Customer].[CustomerID].[CustomerID]
, [Measures].[Enrolled Customers])
, {[Measures].[Sales]}
)
)
It calaulates the count of customers who are enrolled and are active(i.e buys something). It perfectly works against Date dimension but not against Customer Dimension.It shows the same aggregated value for all members when i drag it to excel.
My Customer Dimension has
CustomerID(properly linked to fact table),
City,
Country/Region Code,
StateProvince Code,
Geography(Hierarchy)
Any help would be appreciated.

Try add existing keyword:
COUNT(
NONEMPTY(
NONEMPTY(
existing [Customer].[CustomerID].[CustomerID]
, [Measures].[Enrolled Customers])
, {[Measures].[Sales]}
)
)

Create Calculate Measures in SSAS

Please consider this scenarios:
I have a cube with one Fact table and one measure called SalesAmount . Now I want to create a measure based on these 2 Selects:
Select 1:
Select [Measures].[SalesAmount]
From MyCube
Where [Product].[Color].[Gray]
and Select 2:
Select [Measures].[SalesAmount]
From MyCube
Where [Dates].[Calendar Year].&[2015]
The problem is in Add Calculate Member there is a box for simple formula. How can I create a measure for Select 1 + Select 2?
Thanks
I am not sure where are you looking at this Add Calculate Member option, but you could try something like this (Adventure Works database).
with member measures.[MyMeasure1]
as
([Measures].[Internet Sales Amount], [Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2006])
member measures.[MyMeasure2]
as
([Measures].[Internet Sales Amount], [Product].[Color].&[Grey])
member measures.[MyMeasure12]
as
measures.[MyMeasure1] + measures.[MyMeasure2]
select {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount], measures.[MyMeasure1], measures.[MyMeasure2] , measures.[MyMeasure12]} on 0
from [Adventure Works]
You can also create those members from Visual Studio Data Tools - in Calculations tab:

MDX calculation with children and parents (contribution to total)

I got a cube with cadastral information of some neighborhoods of a city. One of the measures is 'cadastral value': the value of the land of a neighborhood.
Now, the city is divided into districts and a district, into neighborhoods (hierarchy with two levels).
The question is: I need to calculate the percentage that the value of each neighborhood represents compared with the parent (the district) and with the total (city), and also the same about the district compared with the city.
How can I do it?
I tried:
WITH MEMBER
[Measures].[Percentage] AS
([Nbh].[Nbh].[Nbh],[Measures].[Cad value].CurrentMember
/[Nbh].[Nbh].[Nbh],[Measures].[Cad value].CurrentMember.Parent)
SELECT
{[Measures].[Percentage]} ON 0,
[Nbh].[Nbh].[Nbh].AllMembers ON 1
FROM Cadastre
Where the dimensions are:
Nbh : Neighborhood
Cad value: Cadastral value
What I get is "error" in every result value, and the explanation is "Current member () : argument (0) type mismatch: expected:'level|hierarchy|dimension', got:'measure'"
What am I doing wrong?
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Percentage] AS
([Nbh].[Nbh].[Nbh],[Measures].[Cad value].CurrentMember
/[Nbh].[Nbh].[Nbh],[Measures].[Cad value].CurrentMember.Parent)
There are two problems with this:
One, you are using a static set to compute the value of calculated member namely:
[Nbh].[Nbh].[Nbh]
This is NOT [Nbh].[Nbh].CURRENTMEMBER
Second and the bigger mistake: Using the currentmember on a measure. You can't do that. You can use Measures.CURRENTMEMBER but that's about it. It's best used on hierarchies which are used on axes.
That said, your approach is almost legit. You need to fetch the measure value for the parent.
This should work:
WITH MEMBER
[Measures].[Percentage] AS
DIVIDE
(
[Measures].[Cad value],
([Nbh].[Nbh].CURRENTMEMBER.PARENT,[Measures].[Cad value]) //Cad value for parent
)
SELECT
{[Measures].[Percentage]} ON 0,
[Nbh].[Nbh].[Nbh].AllMembers ON 1
FROM Cadastre
Try the following:
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Parent %] AS
IIF(
[Nbh].[Nbh].CURRENTMEMBER IS [Nbh].[Nbh].[All]
,1
,[Measures].[Cad value] /
(
[Measures].[Cad value],
[Nbh].[Nbh].CurrentMember.Parent
)
), FORMAT_STRING = 'Percent'
SELECT
{[Measures].[Parent %]} ON 0,
[Nbh].[Nbh].[Nbh].AllMembers ON 1
FROM Cadastre;
Including the IIF is a defensive measure. If you switch to showing AllMembers of the complete hierarchy then the All member will be included. Here is an example using AdvWrks:
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[Parent %] AS
IIF
(
[Product].[Subcategory].CurrentMember
IS
[Product].[Subcategory].[All Products]
,1
,
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
/
(
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
,[Product].[Subcategory].CurrentMember.Parent
)
)
,FORMAT_STRING = 'Percent'
SELECT
NON EMPTY
{[Measures].[Parent %]} ON 0
,NON EMPTY
[Product].[Subcategory].ALLMEMBERS ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works];
The above returns the following:
Without the IIF the expression is the following:
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[Parent %] AS
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
/
(
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
,[Product].[Subcategory].CurrentMember.Parent
)
,FORMAT_STRING = 'Percent'
SELECT
NON EMPTY
{[Measures].[Parent %]} ON 0
,NON EMPTY
[Product].[Subcategory].ALLMEMBERS ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works];
We get the following because of lack of foresight:
The error is certainly because of this statement is incorrect:
WITH MEMBER
[Measures].[Percentage]
AS ([Nbh].[Nbh].[Nbh],[Measures].[Cad value].CurrentMember/[Nbh].[Nbh].[Nbh],[Measures].[Cad value].CurrentMember.Parent)
Try to make it like this
WITH MEMBER
[Measures].[Percentage]
AS ([Nbh].[Nbh].[Nbh],[Measures].[Cad value])/([Nbh].[Nbh].[Nbh],[Measures].[Cad value])

Dimension distinct count SSAS within the context of other dimensions

I have this MDX;
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].DistinctOrderCount<br/>
AS
DistinctCount([Order].[Order Id].[Order Id] - [Order].[Order Id].[1]),<br/>
FORMAT_STRING = "#,##0;-#,##0",
VISIBLE = 1, ASSOCIATED_MEASURE_GROUP = 'Fact Sales';
I am trying to do a distinct of orders (except Order Id=1) within the context of other dimensions in my fact table. For example, distinct order count by dim customers, dim city, dim state etc. but I am not able to achieve this. When I view my measure on a report, I get distinct count of order dimension which is 21 being displayed on all rows of customers.
This is the best way I solved this and I am happy with the results. Hope this may help others. The idea is, create a cube measure with aggregation type Distinct Count and set column binding on the column you want distinct count on. Then use the below MDX to filter out the dummy Order Id's from your distinct count.
create member currentcube.[Measures].OrderCount<br/>
as<br/>
distinctcount
(
existing
CROSSJOIN
(
Except([Orders].[Order Id].[Order Id], [Orders].[Order Id].&[1]),
[Measures].[Order Count]
)
),<br/>
FORMAT_STRING = "#,##0;-#,##0",
VISIBLE = 1, ASSOCIATED_MEASURE_GROUP='Order Count';

SSAS: Percent of Total not working in hierarchy

I have a simple olap cube - one set of measures and some unexciting dimensions.
I've add one calculation to get the "percent of total" sales against the gross sales measure. The code for this calculation is:
([Dim Stores].[Store Name].CurrentMember, [Measures].[Gross Sales])
/
([Dim Stores].[Store Name].Parent, [Measures].[Gross Sales])
This works.
Within the store dimension, there is a hierarchy called 'By State' where the stores are contained within.
Two questions please:
1. Any idea why the calculation would not work when I use the the 'By state' hierarchy i.e. the same calculation grouped by the next level up?
The state problem aside, any idea why my grand total shows an error even when I just use the Store Name?
TIA!
In poking around, I found a template within the "calculation tools" called "Percentage of Total". Using it, I translated my calculation to this:
Case
// Test to avoid division by zero.
When IsEmpty
(
[Measures].[Gross Sales]
)
Then Null
Else ( [Dim Stores].[By State].CurrentMember, [Measures].[Gross Sales] )
/
(
// The Root function returns the (All) value for the target dimension.
Root
(
[Dim Stores]
),
[Measures].[Gross Sales]
)
End
It worked!

Can I reformulate this MDX query to use sets instead of an "And"?

with member [Measures].[BoughtDispenser] as
Sum(Descendants([Customer].[Customer].CurrentMember, [Customer].[Customer]),
Iif(
(IsEmpty(([Item].[ItemNumber].&[011074], [Measures].[Sale Amount]))
And IsEmpty(([Item].[ItemNumber].&[011069], [Measures].[Sale Amount]))
)
Or IsEmpty([Measures].[Sale Amount]),
0 , 1
)
)
select
{[Measures].[Sale Amount]} on columns,
non empty filter([Customer].[Customer].children, [Measures].[BoughtDispenser])
* {[Item].[ItemNumber].members}
on rows
from [Sales]
where [EnteredDate].[Quarter].&[2010-01-01T00:00:00]
;
The object is to show all the items purchased by customers who also bought either of the two dispensers (011069 and 011074).
I based the calculated member on a query I found to do basket analysis. I feel like there should be a way to write it with the set {[Item].[ItemNumber].&[011074], [Item].[ItemNumber].&[011069]} instead of the two IsEmpty tests. Everything I've tried ended up having every Customer in the result.
My environment is SQL Server Analysis Services 2005.
Yes I can! It just required a slightly different approach to the calculated member:
with member [Measures].[BoughtDispenser] as
Sum(Descendants([Customer].[Customer].CurrentMember, [Customer].[Customer])
* {[Item].[ItemNumber].&[011069], [Item].[ItemNumber].&[011074]},
[Measures].[Quantity Shipped]
)
select
{[Measures].[Sale Amount]} on columns,
non empty filter([Customer].[Customer].children, [Measures].[BoughtDispenser])
* {[Item].[ItemNumber].members}
on rows
from [Sales]
where [EnteredDate].[Quarter].&[2010-01-01T00:00:00]
;
