I have a Date dimension that I would like to check current month and current year, and then display a different Measure depending on that evaluation.
example:
MM - 04
YY -2016
Calculated member determines current month then for months prior(1-3) it shows measure Qty Shipped. For current month and beyond(4-12) it shows measure Forecast. This logic is only working with current year.
Thanks.
IIF(([02 Dates].[MM].currentmember,[Measures].[Qty Shipped])<
(
STRTOMEMBER('[02 Dates].[MM].&['+format(now(),'yyyy')+']&['+format(now(),'MM')+']')
,[Measures].[Qty Shipped]),
[Measures].[Qty Shipped],
[Measures].[Current Forecast])
Seems to do the Current Month on correctly, but doesn't move qty shipped to months 1-3.
Thanks
Does this logic look correct.
Any help much appreciated.

I have a cube(multidimensional) in SSAS which contains a dimension with a period hierarchy(year, month, periodcategory, periodcode) and a measure "Amount"
Now i try to make a calculated measure which returns the value Amount for the previous month - value Amount for the current month (this will then only be different from the current amount when drilled down to month in the period hierarchy).
I read a lot of posts already about ParallelPeriod function or lag(1) but i don't see how this could help me in this case.
Any advice would be really helpful.
I have a table with the sales from last 2 years, and I want to compare the sales from this year with the same natural day last year. For example, Sunday 1st of April 2018 will be compared with Sunday 2nd April 2017.
In order to do that I have created the measure
sales_last_year = CALCULATE(Sales[Revenue]); SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(DATEADD('Calendar'[Date];+1;DAY)))
And I have created another measure where I have the value from the same day last year:
Prueba_sales_last_year = CALCULATE(Sales[Revenue]); SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Calendar'[Date]))
The result is the following:
Sales last year
As you can see the sales per day shows 5.316€ and 3.546€, which is correct, but the total is 111.796 €, which is not correct. However, the measure with the formula without the natural day the sum of the two rows is correct. How could I solve this?
Thank you very much in advance
I just changed the order to calculate the date and it was solved.
sales_last_year = CALCULATE(Sales[Revenue]);DATEADD( SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Calendar'[Date]);+1;DAY))
I have a Cube with a Date dimension hierarchy (Year,Semester,Quarter,Month,Day).
There are 2 measures available in the datawarehouse.
[AUD DLY] : Daily numbers
[AUD YTD] : Daily incremental YTD numbers
Hierarchy is as follows
Date - Dimension
Financial - Hierarchy
Year - [Date].[Financial].[Year]
Semester - [Date].[Financial].[Semester]
Quarter - [Date].[Financial].[Quarter]
Month - [Date].[Financial].[Month]
Day - [Date].[Financial].[Day]
Measures [AUD DLY]
Measures [AUD YTD]
I need to add a MTD field in the measures such that when the business select a particular date on their slicer in excel for e.g., 3 March 2016, MTD should be calculated as either of the following ways :
1) [AUD MTD] should be calculated by subtracting [AUD YTD] on
last day of previous month from the current selected date.
So if we select 3 March 2016 then
[AUD MTD] = [AUD YTD] on 3 March 2016 - [AUD YTD] on 29 Feb 2016
OR
2) [AUD MTD] should be calculated by adding the [AUD DLY] from first day
of the current month until the selected date in that month.
So if we select 3 March 2016 then
[AUD MTD] = SUM ([AUD DLY] from 1 March 2016 to 3 March 2016)
I created a New Calculated Member from Calculations tab in the Cube designer in the BIDS 2010. The MDX query is below. However when I try to browse the cube the [AUD MTD] values are only returning nulls.
Can someone please help what am I doing wrong ?
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[AUD MTD]
AS Aggregate
(
PeriodsToDate
(
[Date].[Financial].[Month]
,[Date].[Financial].CurrentMember
)
,[Measures].[AUD DLY]
),
FORMAT_STRING = "Currency",
NON_EMPTY_BEHAVIOR = { [AUD DLY] },
VISIBLE = 1 , DISPLAY_FOLDER = 'AUD Values' , ASSOCIATED_MEASURE_GROUP = 'Measures' ;
Also the business would be using the new calculated measure in excel using the Slicer, they want to select any date and be able to view the MTD value for that month.
Also can someone please help with MDX query for both methods (1) and (2) ?
Your help much appreciated.
I think the problem with your quoted code (method 2) is that [Date].[Financial].CurrentMember must be at a level at or below the [Date].[Financial].[Month] level. Otherwise PeriodsToDate returns an empty set.
So the problem is not in your calculated member definition, but somewhere in the query in which it's being used. In that query, [Date].[Financial].CurrentMember may be returning a member at a level above Months. Hard to see without seeing the query itself.
Method (1) is more fiddly. You can get the last day of the previous month with
Ancestor([Date].[Financial].CurrentMember,[Date].[Financial].[Month]).PrevMember.LastChild
but you'd have to build in some logic for days in the first month of the financial year, which would otherwise subtract the value for a previous fin year from this year's YTD value. So I'd recommend method (2).
As far as I know selecting a date (I mean a date, not a month) in the Excel slicer will make that date the .CurrentMember. I'm a bit hesitant because Excel does generate some deeply bizarre MDX sometimes.
EDIT: Another possible problem is a hierarchy mismatch. You can select a perfectly good Day in a date hierarchy, but if it isn't in exactly the hierarchy you specify in your calculated member definition, you can get weird results. IMHO more recent versions of SSAS encourage a proliferation of attribute hierarchies and multiple "real" hierarchies, making this a real problem.
As a test can you please add this very simple measure to make sure that currentmember is behaving as expected:
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[AUD MTD]
AS [Date].[Financial].CurrentMember.member_caption
If when you use the above all it returns is the All member then you know something is wrong.
You need to double-check your relationships and datatypes used within your date hierarchies as this is often the reason for time calculation problems.
This is an alternative to your measure but I suspect if the original script is not working then neither will this...
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[AUD MTD]
AS SUM
(
MTD([Date].[Financial].CurrentMember)
, [Measures].[AUD DLY]
)
I have a measure that gives me the month over month change in budget. The measure is defined as:
Bugdet Month over Month:=if(and(sum(budget[Value])<>0;[Budget, Previous Month]<>0);sum(budget[Value])-[Budget, Previous Month];0)
Budget, Previous Month:=CALCULATE(sum(budget[Value]);PREVIOUSMONTH(tDate[Date]))
When I show Bugdet Month over Month in a pivot table, it shows the correct numbers, but it shows 0 in the grand total. Is it possible to make some change somewhere to make it show the sum of all changes in the grand total?
Rough take is create a third measure:
Budget Month over Month Final:=SUMX ( VALUES(tdate[Date]), [Budget Month over Month])
This will independently iterate over every month in the given cell and calculated Budget Month over Month and then SUM them together. So for the month row values in your pivot table, this will be the equivalent of the current Budget Month over Month measure.
And for the Grand Total it will then show the sum of each individual month in the pivot.
This is regarding calculating the sum for a set of values starting from the date a measure has entries till the current date.
So far what I could find was the YTD function. This limits the aggregation capability till the current date beginning from the first day of the year. But what my requirement is to start the calculation from the first value, this could be in the last year or may be two years before.
Eg:
Date-----------Value
11/9/2010-----2000
2/10/2011-----500
8/5/2011------1000
With YTD the value is: 1500
What I need is: 3500
I really appreciate any help on this.
Something like:
SUM([Date].[Day].AllMembers, [Measures].[Value])
OR
SUM(OpeningPeriod([Date].[Day]):ClosingPeriod([Date].[Day]), [Measures].[Value]),
where [Date].[Day] - it's a level DAY of your dimension;
[Measures].[Value] - your measure.
