There are very less resources and examples pertaining this question.
Please refer to the screenshot below. It shows the dimension and measure names of my cube.
I referred to the link below for YTD and MTD calculations.
community.tableau.com/docs/DOC-5293
I have been using the following calculated member to find out MTD
Sum
(
MTD
(
StrToMember("[DIM TIME].[Date].&[" + Format(Now(),"mm/dd/yyyy") + "]")
)
,[Measures].[SALES AMOUNT]
)
It does not give me any result.

(The member I created)
Not an answer but an initial check I would do is the following.
Add your StrToMember to a simplified script without the calculations
SELECT
[Measures].[SALES AMOUNT] on 0,
StrToMember("[DIM TIME].[Date].&[" + Format(Now(),"mm/dd/yyyy") + "]") ON 1
FROM [YourCubeName];
Does this give a result?

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 get MAT with individual attribute and a Year-Month
hierarchy. Year and Month on rows are fine (please see left of attached image) but I am unable to find a solution when Year is on columns (please see right of attached image). I tried different combination of Year-Month hierarchy and attribute hierarchy and Descendants,
Filter, etc function but none of them worked.
Thanks in advance.
It might help someone so posting the solution I have found.
It's using the existing Year > Month > Date hiearchy with a 'Month Of Year'
attribute hierarchy.
Key here is StrToMember which return member to be used for the Year > Month > Date (Hierarchy)
with
MEMBER YearName AS
RIGHT([TIME].[Year].CurrentMember.Name,4)
MEMBER MonthName AS
[TIME].[Month Of Year].CurrentMember.Name
MEMBER [Measures].[Sales Value-MAT] AS
sum(
LastPeriods(
12,
StrToMember("[TIME].[Hierarchy].[" + MonthName + " " + YearName + "]")
), [Measures].[Sales Value])
select
{[TIME].[Year].[Year].members * [Measures].[Sales Value-MAT]} on columns,
NON EMPTY { [TIME].[Month Of Year].members } ON rows
from [SalesCube]
Inspired from last post in this thread.
I need to product a report from my cube that looks something like the following.
(dummy data)
Where it lists sales and gross profit for today, this week, the period and year to date across the products category.
My cube is setup as follows
A date dimension
And the cube itself
Currently I have not implemented the product category pieces.
I'm struggling with how to write an MDX query that can return the sales/gross profit for a single day and then week and so on.
I can return it by itself like so
SELECT {[Measures].[Gross Profit],[Measures].[Price]} ON COLUMNS
From [Cube]
WHERE [Date].[Date Key].[2015-04-22];
and so on for the other various types (week etc), but I'm unsure as how to apply the where filter to the columnn itself rather than the overall query, or if this is even the correct way to do it and I should be making multiple MDX calls that I then compose in my app that will use this.
Can anyone give me a pointer in the right direction here?
EDIT: Seems to mostly work using the approach #Akshay Rane described however I cannot get one of my measures to work
MEMBER [This Week] as
(PeriodsToDate([Date].[Fiscal Week Date].[Fiscal Week],StrToMember('[Date].[Fiscal Week Date].[Date Key].&[' + '20140401' + ']'))
,[Measures].[Merchandise Gross Profit])
Gives me an error:
The function expects a string or numeric expression for the argument. A tuple set expression was used.
Any pointers here?
You will have to create separate Calculated Members for each time interval you want to aggregate the data upon.
This can be done in [Adventure Works] cube as follows.
WITH
MEMBER [Today] as
([Measures].[Internet Sales Amount], [Date].[Date].CURRENTMEMBER)
MEMBER [Last Week] as
AGGREGATE (
{ [Date].[Date].CURRENTMEMBER.lag(6) : [Date].[Date].CURRENTMEMBER }
, [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
)
SELECT
{ [Today], [Last Week] } ON 0,
{ ([Product].[Product Categories].[Category], [Date].[Date].[Date]) } ON 1
FROM
(
/*FILTERING ON SPECIFIC DATE USING SUBCUBE*/
SELECT [Date].[Date].&[20070715] ON 0
FROM [Adventure Works]
)
If you can take the different levels of date from the same user hierarchy then something like this is possible:
SELECT
{
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2006]&[7]
,[Date].[Calendar].[Date].&[20050220]
}
*
{
[Measures].[Order Quantity]
,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
} ON COLUMNS
,{[Product].[Category].Children} ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works];
The above produces results like this:
I've been tasked with a rather odd Time intelligence function by my finance group that I'm trying to puzzle out.
I've been asked with creating a measure within our SSAS Cube to allow for seeing previous quarter to date based on how far we are in the current quarter. But instead of seeing a standard idea of days elapsed currently versus days elapsed previously, they would like to see days remaining versus previous days remaining.
What I mean by that is, take 1/22/2015 for example. We have 48 days remaining in our current quarter, which I have by means of a calculated measure. I need to find the corresponding working day from the previous quarter where it is also at 48 days remaining.
At that point I could create a date range with some aggregate functions off of the first date in the previous quarter to the corresponding date found in the above and come up with what they are looking for.
The best idea I've had so far is to possibly do this in the database section itself, by creating a new column that is essentially the calculated number of days remaining but stored. But at that point I'm not sure how to take a calculated measure in SSAS and filter a previous quarter date member to use that property as it were.
Do you have an utility dimensions in your cube? We have one called TimeCalculations. In there we have things such as CurrentValue, MTDValue, PrevEquivMTD, Past7Days .... I think your new logic would fit in with such a dimension.
Here is an example of PrevEquivQTD against AdvWrks that I just had a play with. Guessing this doesn't really help your scenario but I had fun writing it:
WITH
SET [NonEmptyDates] AS
NonEmpty
(
[Date].[Calendar].[Date].MEMBERS
,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
)
SET [LastNonEmptyDate] AS
Tail([NonEmptyDates])
SET [CurrQ] AS
Exists
(
[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Quarter]
,[LastNonEmptyDate].Item(0)
)
MEMBER [Measures].[pos] AS
Rank
(
[LastNonEmptyDate].Item(0)
,Descendants
(
[CurrQ]
,[Date].[Calendar].[Date]
)
)
MEMBER [Measures].[PrevEquivalentQTD] AS
Sum
(
Head
(
Descendants
(
[CurrQ].ITEM(0).PrevMember
,[Date].[Calendar].[Date]
)
,[Measures].[pos]
)
,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
)
SELECT
{[Measures].[pos],[Measures].[PrevEquivalentQTD]} ON 0
,[LastNonEmptyDate] ON 1
FROM
(
SELECT
[Date].[Calendar].[Date].&[20050111]
:
[Date].[Calendar].[Date].&[20080611] ON 0
FROM [Adventure Works]
);
Your Date is 1/22/2015. You want the Same Date in Previous Quarter which would be 8/22/2015.
If this is what you want, you will have to use MDX function ParallelPeriod as shown in sample below. Please replace it with your own Dimensions and Cube.
Select
ParallelPeriod
(
[Date].[Calendar Date].[Calendar Quarter], -- Level Expression
1, -- Index
[Date].[Calendar Date].[Date].&[20150122] -- Member Expression
) On 0
From [Adventure Works]
If you want the same date in the following quarter, then replace index 1 with -1.
Cheers
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!
