Create Set to get Last month of Each Year - ssas

Question

I would like to create a set that returned the last Date for each year. For example all previous years would return December, but the current year would only return the current month.
WITH
SET testset AS
NonEmpty
(
Generate
(
{
OpeningPeriod([Date].[Calendar].[Month])
:
ClosingPeriod([Date].[Calendar].Month)
}
,{[Date].[calendar].CurrentMember}
)
,[Measures].[Sale Amount]
)
SELECT
NON EMPTY
(
[Measures].[Sale Amount]
,[Date].[Year].[Year]
) ON 0
,NON EMPTY
[testset] ON 1
FROM [Cube]
Here is an example of a script that returns the values for each month. I've tried using tail and lastchild, but that only returns the most recent. I would like it to return for every Year.

Answer 1

In terms of just the last month - ignoring whether there is data for it or not the following:
WITH
SET [AllYears] AS
[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].MEMBERS
SET [LastMths] AS
Generate
(
[AllYears] AS S
,Tail
(
Descendants
(
S.CurrentMember
,[Date].[Calendar].[Month]
)
,1
)
)
SELECT
{} ON 0
,[LastMths] ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works];
Returns this:
If I want to adapt the above so that it is the last month per year that has data for a specific measure then wrap NonEmpty around the set created by Descendants:
WITH
SET [AllYears] AS
[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].MEMBERS
SET [LastMths] AS
Generate
(
[AllYears] AS S
,Tail
(
NonEmpty //<<new
(
Descendants
(
S.CurrentMember
,[Date].[Calendar].[Month]
)
,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] //<<new
)
,1
)
)
SELECT
{} ON 0
,[LastMths] ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works];
It now gives us this:
We can then add in the tuple you have on rows (I have used the attribute hierarchy this time for years as [Date].[Calendar] is already in use)
WITH
SET [AllYears] AS
[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].MEMBERS
SET [LastMths] AS
Generate
(
[AllYears] AS S
,Tail
(
NonEmpty
(
Descendants
(
S.CurrentMember
,[Date].[Calendar].[Month]
)
,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
)
,1
)
)
SELECT
NON EMPTY
(
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
,[Date].[Calendar Year].[Calendar Year]
) ON 0
,[LastMths] ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works];
Now we get this:

Answer 2

#Whytheq has already given a very good solution. Treat this as an alternative. This might be a tad faster as it doesn't use the GENERATE function (not sure though!).
Have a calculated/cube measure which basically tells whether a month is the last month of the year. Then select those months out of the set of months.
with member measures.islastchild as
iif
(
[Date].[Calendar].currentmember is
[Date].[Calendar].currentmember.parent.parent.parent.lastchild.lastchild.lastchild,
1,
null
)
The member measures.islastchild returns 1 if the month is the last month of the year. Else it would return null.
set lastmonths as
filter(
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].members,
measures.islastchild = 1
)
The set lastmonths is then the set you need.
edit
To further improve the performance, you can NonEmpty function instead of the iterative FILTER function.
set lastmonths as
NonEmpty(
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].members,
measures.islastchild
)
select lastmonths on 1,
{} on 0
from [Adventure Works]
EDIT 2: To get the last non month with sales
with member measures.islastnonemptychild as
iif
(
[Date].[Calendar].currentmember is
TAIL(NonEmpty([Date].[Calendar].currentmember.parent.parent.parent.lastchild.lastchild.children, [Measures].[Sale Amount])).ITEM(0),
1,
null
)
set nonemptylastmonths as
NonEmpty(
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].members,
measures.islastnonemptychild
)
