Create a measure in MDX for a set of Members - mdx

I need something as following:
with member Measures.Test2 as (Measures.Test, {[Assets Monthly].[Disbursed Date].&[2014], [Assets Monthly].[Disbursed Date].&[2015]})
select Measures.Test2 on columns
from databaseX
It works only if I set it with only one member, ex:
with member Measures.Test2 as (Measures.Test, [Assets Monthly].[Disbursed Date].&[2014])
The error that I get in the first case is:
The function expects a string or numeric expression for the
argument. A tuple set expression was used.

Against AdvWrks:
WITH
MEMBER Measures.Test2 AS
Sum
(
{
[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2006]
,[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2007]
}
,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
)
SELECT
Measures.Test2 ON COLUMNS
FROM [Adventure Works];
Your script:
WITH
MEMBER Measures.Test2 AS
Sum
(
{
[Assets Monthly].[Disbursed Date].&[2014]
,[Assets Monthly].[Disbursed Date].&[2015]
}
,Measures.Test
)
SELECT
Measures.Test2 ON COLUMNS
FROM databaseX;
This is prettier. Created a calculated member on the Date hierarchy and chuck the measures in the WHERE slicer:
WITH
MEMBER [Date].[Calendar].[testPeriod] AS
Aggregate
(
{
[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2006]
,[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2007]
}
)
SELECT
[Date].[Calendar].[testPeriod] ON COLUMNS
FROM [Adventure Works]
WHERE
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount];

I'm stuck with MDX query

i need sales amount of first month of each quarter
WITH SET [FIRSTMONTHOFQTR] AS
DESCENDANTS(
DESCENDANTS(
[Date].[Calendar].CURRENTMEMBER,
[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Quarter]
),
[Date].[Calendar].[Month]
)
SELECT {
[Measures].[Sales Amount]
} ON COLUMNS,
{
[FIRSTMONTHOFQTR]
} ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works];
With above im getting each month but i need only first month. how can i filter that?
This is one approach:
WITH
SET [Qtrs] AS
[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Quarter]
SET [FIRSTMONTHOFQTR] AS
Generate
(
[Qtrs] AS s
,Head(Descendants(s.CurrentMember,[Date].[Calendar].[Month]))
)
SELECT
{[Measures].[Sales Amount]} ON COLUMNS
,[FIRSTMONTHOFQTR] ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works];
It returns the following:

Sum of Previous months Sales with MDX

The below query works okay.
With Member PyMonthSales as
SUM(PARALLELPERIOD([Date].[Calendar].[Month], 1),[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])
select
{PyMonthSales} on Columns,
[Date].[Calendar].[Month] on Rows
FROM
(
Select {
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2006]&[5], [Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2006]&[4]
} on Columns
From [Adventure Works]
)
But I just want one Grand total. So I removed the rows, on the above query
With Member PyMonthSales as
SUM(PARALLELPERIOD([Date].[Calendar].[Month], 1),[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])
select
{PyMonthSales} on Columns
FROM
(
Select {
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2006]&[5], [Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2006]&[4]
} on Columns
From [Adventure Works]
)
This is where the problem starts. Returns null. Any assistance would be great.
Thanks for your time.

It ended up a bit messy!!
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].x AS
Aggregate
(
Generate
(
{
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2006]&[5]
,[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2006]&[4]
}
,{
ParallelPeriod
(
[Date].[Calendar].[Month]
,1
,[Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember
)
}
)
,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
)
SELECT
x ON 0
FROM [Adventure Works];
The thing I kept forgetting was the curly brackets around the ParallelPeriod section - without those an exception is raised because Generate always wants a SET as its second argument.

How to apply Hierarchize and Order by with MDX Query

I need to order Dimension with respect to descending order. without using HIERARCHIZE key word everything works fine. here i need HIERARCHIZE in order to order hierarchy level data.
Select NON EMPTY({[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]}) dimension properties MEMBER_TYPE,CHILDREN_CARDINALITY, PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME ON COLUMNS ,NON EMPTY(HIERARCHIZE({{ORDER(drilldownlevel([Customer].[Customer Geography]),[Customer].[Customer Geography].CurrentMember.MEMBER_CAPTION,desc)}})) dimension properties MEMBER_TYPE,CHILDREN_CARDINALITY, PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS
Unfortunely I do not have AdvWrks cube to test the following:
SELECT
NON EMPTY
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] ON 0
,NON EMPTY
ORDER(
{
HIERARCHIZE([Customer].[Customer Geography].[COUNTRY].MEMBERS)
,[Customer].[Customer Geography].[COUNTRY].&[GERMANY].CHILDREN
}
,[Customer].[Customer Geography].CurrentMember.MEMBER_CAPTION
,BDESC
)
) ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works];
Looks like I had a tested solution to a similar problem here:
Issue with Order function and Crossoins in MDX
Looks like an application of the above to your context is something like this:
SELECT
NON EMPTY
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] ON 0
,NON EMPTY
{
Order
(
{
[Customer].[Customer Geography].[COUNTRY].MEMBERS
, [Customer].[Customer Geography].[COUNTRY].&[GERMANY].CHILDREN
}
,(
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
,[Customer].[Customer Geography].[COUNTRY]
)
,BDESC
)
} ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works];
Resolved the issues with below query
SELECT
NON EMPTY [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] ON 0,
NON EMPTY
Order(
Hierarchize(
[Customer].[Customer Geography].[Country].&[Germany].Children
)
,[Customer].[Customer Geography].CurrentMember.MEMBER_CAPTION
,DESC
)
ON 1
FROM [Adventure works];

Creating a measure by filtering out a set from an existing measure

I am trying to implement something as follows:
WITH MEMBER Measures.Test2 AS
Sum
(
{
[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2006]
,[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2007]
}
,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
)
SELECT Measures.Test2 ON COLUMNS
FROM [Adventure Works];
But i want the new measure Test2 to be sliceable according to the Calendar Year dimension. So i want something like
SELECT {Measures.Test2} ON 0,
{[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].[Calendar Year].MEMBERS} ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works];
This is giving the same value for both the years 2006 and 2007.
In essence i want to create a member by taking a subset of an existing measure and then using it for further calculations
This script is not valid mdx:
SELECT (Measures.Test2,[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].[Calendar Year] ON COLUMNS
FROM [Adventure Works];
You have a single ( before Measures.
Also you look like you're about to add a tuple ON COLUMNS which is not allowed. Only sets are allowed on rows and columns:
SELECT
{Measures.Test2} ON 0,
{[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].[Calendar Year].MEMBERS} ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works];
Try the following:
WITH
MEMBER Measures.Test2 AS
Sum
(
Intersect
(
{[Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember}
,{
[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2006]
,[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2007]
}
)
,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
)
SELECT
[Measures].test2 ON COLUMNS
,{[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].MEMBERS} ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works];
The above returns this:
Or maybe all you want is a subselect:
SELECT
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] ON COLUMNS
,{[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].MEMBERS} ON ROWS
FROM
(
SELECT
{
[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2006]
,[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2007]
} ON 0
FROM [Adventure Works]
);

How to get top 2 count record and rest total(others) using two dimension in same mdx

i have this query, i need to implement for two dimension
WITH
SET [TCat] AS
TopCount([Product].[Subcategory].[Subcategory],10,[Measures].[Sales Amount])
MEMBER [Product].[Subcategory].[Other] AS
Aggregate([Product].[Subcategory].[Subcategory] - TCat)
SELECT { [Measures].[Sales Amount] } ON COLUMNS,
TCat + [Other] ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works]
I try but it is not working for two dimension
WITH
SET FIPS as
[Geography].[State-Province].[State-Province]
//TopCount([Product].[Subcategory].[Subcategory],10,[Measures].[Sales Amount])
SET [TCat] AS
Generate( {FIPS}, CrossJoin( {[Geography].[State-Province].CurrentMember}, topsum( ([Product].[Subcategory].[Subcategory]), 2, [Measures].[Sales Amount] ) ))
MEMBER [Product].[Subcategory].[Other] AS
Aggregate(Except( [Product].[Subcategory].[Subcategory].Members, TCat))
SELECT
{ [Measures].[Sales Amount] } ON COLUMNS,
Union(
TCat , {[Geography].[State-Province].[State-Province],[Product].[Subcategory].[Other]} ) ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works];
Try using Except.
WITH
SET [TCat] AS
TopCount([Product].[Subcategory].[Subcategory],10,[Measures].[Sales Amount])
MEMBER [Product].[Subcategory].[Other] AS
Aggregate(Except( [Product].[Subcategory].[Subcategory].Members, TCat)
SELECT { [Measures].[Sales Amount] } ON COLUMNS,
Union( TCat , {[Product].[Subcategory].[Other]} ) ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works]
