Exclude few dates in a month in mdx query - ssas

Below is my query. My requirement here is I want to exclude a few dates sales in a particular month while I am looking for month wise data.
For example: I don't want to include Aug 15, 2008 date sales for the month of August, 2008 when I am looking 2008 year for the month of August, 2008 data for accessories product.
select
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] on 0,([Product].[Category].&[4],
[Date].[Calendar].[Month]
)on 1
from [Adventure Works]
where [Date].[Calendar Year].&[2008].
I would appropriate, if you could help in this regard.

You have to exclude the member within the Where clause:
select
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] on 0,
([Product].[Category].&[4],[Date].[Calendar].[Month]) on 1
from [Adventure Works]
where ([Date].[Calendar Year].&[2008],{[Date].[Day].[Day].Members - [Date].[Day].&[20080815]})

Calculated member in SSAS based on custom Last Year Date (Retail calendar)

I have spent a lot of time solving this issue, but no success yet.
I have a Date dimension called [Dim Date] and in this table I have a [Date Key] which contains all the dates from '2013-07-01' to '2016-12-31'. I also have a measure called [Retail Revenue] which is a decimal number for that date. So far so easy!
We are a retail Calendar and all our calculations/comparisons are based on a retail calendar (which is a customized table in DW).
The date hierarchy in this calendar is as below (please see the screenshot):
-- retail year (e.g. 2017)
---- retail half year (e.g. 2017-H1)
------ retail quarter year (e.g. 2017-Q1)
-------- retail month (e.g. 201702) (months from 201701 to 201712)
---------- retail week (e.g. 201708) (weeks from 201701 to 201752)
------------ date key (e.g. 2016-08-22)
SCREENSHOT
We also have an attribute called "Retail Last Year Date" which shows the equivalent date of last calendar date (e.g. 2015-08-24 in the screenshot).
I need to have a calculated member showing the "Retail Revenue" for last year (based on the attribute "Retail Last Year Date"), next to the regular "Retail Revenue" for [date key].
I tried to use ParallelPeriod and Scope, and could not get the numbers properly. Probably an easy task but I am not a hero in mdx unfortunately!
Will be more than thankful if anyone please can help me out with this.
Thanks

Hopefully this helps.
This is against AdvWrks. I've created a query scoped custom measure that gets the internet sales from the year before:
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount LastYear] AS
(
ParallelPeriod
(
[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year]
,1
,[Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember
)
,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
)
SELECT
{
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount LastYear]
} ON 0
,
[Date].[Calendar].[Date].&[20070121]
:
[Date].[Calendar].[Date].&[20070127] ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works];
Here are the results:
Thanks for your response, but I didn't get how it uses the dimension property? because my calendar is customized and I cannot assume the last year calendar date is the same as this year. I have to read it from the dimension property "Retail Last Year Date").
Thanks

SUM of a YTD-value by Year for several selected years

I am trying to put together an SQL statement that returns the SUM of a value by Year for several selected years, but on a year to date basis. In other words, running the report by selecting years I need the value for the selected years on a year to date basis. This could be something like this: By selecting the years 2015, 2014 until 2010 the Report should give 2015 value ytd of 25.02.2015, 2014 ytd of 25.02.2014 and so on.
Yet I only figured out how to select the Dates for each year to date value manually., but clearly the I was thinking. However, I was hoping to have some of this work handled with my SQL Statement using the selected years Parameter and add month and day somehow.
Has anyone ever tackled this type of problem with an SQL statement, and if so, what is the trick that I am missing?
My current sql statement for ytd data is similar to the following:
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Sales Turnover YTD], [Measures].[Order Intake YTD] } ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(#DateDate, CONSTRAINED)
This works perfectly for the one year, but still I am seeking the solution for several years.
As described above my desired result would be: after choosing several fiscal years (e.g. 2010-2015) I will get following values:
2015 Sales Turnover YTD Order Intake YTD on date today
2014 Sales Turnover YTD Order Intake YTD on date today one year ago
and so on..
Here is a script against AdvWrks that calculates the equivalent YTD totals for each of the years ON ROWS:
WITH
SET [NonEmptyDates] AS
NonEmpty([Date].[Calendar].[Date].MEMBERS)
SET [LastNonEmptyDate] AS
Tail([NonEmptyDates])
SET [SetDaysInCurrentYear] AS
Descendants
(
Exists
(
[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year]
,[LastNonEmptyDate].Item(0).Item(0)
).Item(0)
,[Date].[Calendar].[Date]
)
MEMBER [Measures].[NumDaysInCurrentYear] AS
Rank
(
[LastNonEmptyDate].Item(0)
,[SetDaysInCurrentYear]
)
MEMBER [Measures].[EquivYTD] AS
Aggregate
(
Head
(
Descendants
(
[Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember
,[Date].[Calendar].[Date]
)
,[Measures].[NumDaysInCurrentYear]
)
,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
)
SELECT
{
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
,[Measures].[EquivYTD]
} ON 0
,[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year] ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works];

MDX query producing #Error as output

In my SSAS Cube, I have a measure called [Sales Total]. What I want to do is to create another measure that would give me the lowest sales figure in the last 6 months. I want this to be a moving minimum, calculated as the min of sales of every time period from the present month to 6 months back.
I wrote my MDX statement but it produces an error and I have hard time trying to figure out why. It is something to do with aggregating Date dimension members into a filter aggregate.
When i choose a single month member from the Date hierarchy, it returns the correct value. When I select multiple members from the hierarchy, as seen below, it errors out.
Any kind of help is appreciated.
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[Min Sales Total Rolling 6 months] as '(MIN([Date].[Fiscal Month Hierarchy].currentmember.lag(6):[Date].[Fiscal Month Hierarchy].currentmember,[Measures].[Sales Total]))'
MEMBER [Date].[Fiscal Month Hierarchy].[FilterAggregate] as
'AGGREGATE({
[Date].[Fiscal Month Hierarchy].[Quarter].&[20141].&[201310],
[Date].[Fiscal Month Hierarchy].[Quarter].&[20141].&[201311],
[Date].[Fiscal Month Hierarchy].[Quarter].&[20141].&[201312],
[Date].[Fiscal Month Hierarchy].[Quarter].&[20142].&[201401],
[Date].[Fiscal Month Hierarchy].[Quarter].&[20142].&[201402],
[Date].[Fiscal Month Hierarchy].[Quarter].&[20142].&[201403],
[Date].[Fiscal Month Hierarchy].[Quarter].&[20143].&[201404],
[Date].[Fiscal Month Hierarchy].[Quarter].&[20143].&[201405],
[Date].[Fiscal Month Hierarchy].[Quarter].&[20143].&[201406],
[Date].[Fiscal Month Hierarchy].[Quarter].&[20144].&[201407]
})'
SELECT {
[Measures].[Min Sales Total Rolling 6 months]} ON AXIS(0)
FROM [My Cube]
WHERE ([Date].[Fiscal Month Hierarchy].[FilterAggregate])
As explained in this blog by one of the SSAS developers already many years ago, multi select does not work with CurrentMember. You should use
MEMBER [Measures].[Min Sales Total Rolling 6 months] as
MIN(Tail(EXISTING [Date].[Fiscal Month Hierarchy].[Fiscal Month Hierarchy].Members).Item(0).Item(0).lag(6)
:
Tail(EXISTING [Date].[Fiscal Month Hierarchy].[Fiscal Month Hierarchy].Members).Item(0).Item(0),
[Measures].[Sales Total])
instead.
EXISTING gets the set of all selected members. This is needed as there is no single CurrentMember. Then Tail gets the set consisting of the last of these members, Item(0).Item(0) converts that single element set to a member.

MDX TTM Calculated member - day level

I need to create a calculated member that calculates revenue for TTM (Trailing Twelve Months) associated to selected date (day level).
I tried something like this:
SUM(
{
[Accounting Effective Date].[Date Hierarchy].CurrentMember.Lag(365)
: [Accounting Effective Date].[Date Hierarchy].CurrentMember
},
[Measures].[Revenue]
)
But this doesn't work with leap year, for example if I pick 2013-01-01 than it returns 2012-01-02.
I have also tried this but this one is also not good since it takes first day of the month:
SUM(
{
[Accounting Effective Date].[Date Hierarchy].CurrentMember.Parent.Lag(12).FirstChild
: [Accounting Effective Date].[Date Hierarchy].CurrentMember
},
[Measures].[Revenue]
)
Date hierarhy is following:
Year > Quarter > Month > Date
the following query can help, it uses cousin function to return last years date.
with member [Measures].[TestValue] as
(cousin([Date].[Calendar].currentmember,[Date].[Calendar].currentmember.parent.parent.lag(1)),[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])
member [Measures].[TestDate] as
cousin([Date].[Calendar].currentmember,[Date].[Calendar].currentmember.parent.parent.lag(1)).item(0).name
select
{[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],[Measures].[TestValue],[Measures].[TestDate]}
on columns,
{
[Date].[Calendar].[Date].&[20130922]
}
on rows from

MDX query to display this year's sale along with the last year's sale

Here's my query. I want to display this year's data from week 12 to week 24 along with last year's data from week 12 to week 24. But I got the same data for both years even I had the "prevMember". Could you help me?
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Net Sales This Year] AS ([Measures].[Ticket Net Sales],[Date].[Fiscal].[Fiscal Year].currentmember.prevmember)
SELECT {[Measures].[Ticket Net Sales],[Measures].[Net Sales Last Year]} on 0,
NON EMPTY {([Concepts].[Concept Name].[Concept Name],[Locations].[Department Name].[Department Name],
[Date].[Fiscal].[Fiscal Year].Members,[Date].[Week Of Year].&[12]:[Date].[Week Of Year].&[24])} on 1
FROM spbi
You can use the PARALLELPERIOD() function to achieve this.
See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms145500
Could you try this query:
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Net Sales This Year] AS ([Measures].[Ticket Net Sales],[Date].[Fiscal].CurrentMember.PrevMember)
SELECT {[Measures].[Ticket Net Sales],[Measures].[Net Sales Last Year]} ON 0,
NON EMPTY [Date].[Fiscal].[Fiscal Year].Members * [Date].[Week Of Year].&[12]:[Date].[Week Of Year].&[24]) ON 1
FROM spbi
