MDX Using multiple date dimensions - mdx

Question

What I want to do is generate a report containing an overview of gains and losses (of contracts). For example:
Year | contract_gains | contract_losses
_______________________________________
2015 | 10 | 2
2016 | 15 | 4
Showing the gains is quite easy because I can just count distinct contracts (which is the aggregator for the measure value) with a start period.
SELECT
{[contract_start_date].[year].MEMBERS}
ON ROWS,
{[Measures].[value]}
ON COLUMNS
FROM Cube
Showing the losses seperately is also easy because I can do the same with the second date dimension.
SELECT
{[contract_end_date].[year].MEMBERS}
ON ROWS,
{[Measures].[value]}
ON COLUMNS
FROM Cube
But what I want to do is generate a report containing both of the values in a single report. Sadly I have no idea how I can do this.

Answer 1

A little slow method, going cell by cell. Does this work for you -
WITH MEMBER [Measures].contract_losses AS
(
GENERATE
(
[contract_start_date].[year].CURRENTMEMBER,
FILTER
(
[contract_end_date].[year].MEMBERS,
CStr([contract_start_date].[year].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_VALUE) = CStr([contract_end_date].[year].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_VALUE)
)
).ITEM(0)
,
[Measures].[value]
)
MEMBER [Measures].contract_gains AS
[Measures].[value]
SELECT
NON EMPTY {[contract_start_date].[year].MEMBERS}
ON ROWS,
{[Measures].contract_gains, [Measures].contract_losses}
ON COLUMNS
FROM [Cube]
