I have a cube in my sql server analysis service (2012) project. One of my measures is withdrawn money from ATM. Now I want to have a new calculated measure that show me the growth of withdrawn money today toward to last day. It is a dynamic calculated measure.
Is there any solution for doing this work?
What you are looking for is most probably called a KPI = key performance indicator. Look here for information about how to add the metric you need.
if you want to show growth based on last value, for example today I Withdrew 10% less than yesterday, yo ucan use KIPs
if you want to show how much you Withdrew so far, you should use calculatins like YTD (year to date)
You should use KPI to build your measure.
Open your SSAS project in Visual Studio and double click on your cube.
In the KPI tab there is a panel with some samples of KPI using parallel periods.
This is an example to create an operating margin accross two periods :
IIf
(
KPIValue( "Gross Profit Margin" ) >
( KPIValue( "Gross Profit Margin" ),
ParallelPeriod
(
[<<Time Dimension Name>>].[<<Time Hierarchy Name>>].[<<Time Year Level Name>>],
1,
[<<Time Dimension Name>>].[<<Time Hierarchy Name>>].CurrentMember
)
), 1, -1
)

I am using SSAS Multidimensional cube.I have factsales and two dimdate,dimsalespoint table. I need to show top sales every month by sales point.Also i need to show this data into power bi.My cube brower will be look like
July salespoint1 1254
Aug Salespoint2 2589
Sep SalesPoint3 85236.
Per month which sales point sales high.
It will also filter year, product etc.
Can any one help me.
I think that you can do this with only PowerBI
You juste need to drag you sales infos and select max aggreagate and filter them by month and salespoint.
In powerBI you connect to your cube
you drag and drop your salesvalue and select the matrix visual
you use salespoint in row , date in column and salesvalue in values
You can select a max aggregate on your values
You'll get something like this :
and you can navigate in the date hierarchy by using the arrow on the top right
If you use a live connexion with an OLAP cube.
You can replace you max in powerBI by doing these step :
and select max
you then have to use this measure in the powerBI report because it will be based on your table filtered by what you put in the visual(date, salespoint,...)
This is a question regarding SSAS Cubes, MDX formulas and Power BI.
I have a measure with the active members per each month. So when I select for example 2018 it shouldn´t aggregate but return the last available month with active members, and if I break down by month it should give the active members for each month.
So I have this formula which works almost fine if querying in MS Management Studio:
with member [Measures].[Last existing SOCIOS] AS
Max(
EXISTING [DIM FECHA].[Jerarquía].[MES NOMBRE].members,
iif([Measures].[ACTIVOS] = 0,null,
[Measures].[ACTIVOS])
)
select {[Measures].[Last existing SOCIOS]} on columns,
[DIM FECHA].[MES NOMBRE].members on rows
from [cubo_Compromisos]
where [DIM FECHA].[AÑO].&[2018]
I would prefer to have the november value returned at the 'All' level. But this is not my main problem. The real issue is that when I use this measure in Power BI it behaves differently: when selecting multiple months it ignores the selected values and just returns the last value for the whole year.
In the screenshot below I have added the value returned by the KPI Card because that is the value that I want returned:
If I select items like this it does it right, but I need it to select all months, and not just one because I am using this measure along others:
Does anyone know the right MDX function to use or an alternative?

It does the same in a Pivot Table connected to a SSAS Cube.When I add the date dimension to the table it works fine. But when using the date dimension and filtering it without the dimension added as rows it returns the value for the whole year.
The function you are looking at is LastChild. Last Child on the upper level of the hierarchy will return the value you are looking at.
I think that function can be used in the Cube design in SSAS - then this will be the standard behavior. If you want to do it with a query you need to do something like:
SELECT [Date].[Fiscal].[Fiscal Quarter].[Q1 FY 2002].LastChild ON 0
FROM [Adventure Works]
To get the last month of the 1st quater (I used example from microsoft and another post on the subject )
Would much appreciate any help on this.
I have a measure called "Sales" populated with values, however i am trying to turn the "Sales" value to 0, whenever the "Sales Flag" is set to 0.
Important Note: The Sales Flag is based on Date (lowest level of detail).
The difficulty that i am really experiencing and cant get a grip on, is how i am trying the display the MDX outcome.
As explained above, i would want to make the "Sales" value 0 whenever we have a 0 in the "Sales Flag" (which is based on the Date), but when I run the MDX Script I would wan't on the ROWS to NOT display the Date, but instead just the Week (higher Level to Date), as below shows:
I really have spent hours on this and can't seem to understand how we can create this needed custom Sales measure based on the Sales Flag on the date level, but having the MDX outcome display ROWS on Week level.

You need to define the member in the MDX before the select. Something like that:
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Fixed Sales] as IIF([Sales Flag].currentMember=1,[Sales], 0)
SELECT [Measures].[Fixed Sales] on 0, [Sales Flag] on 1 from [Cube]
I am writing the code without SSAS here so it might not be the 100% correct syntax but you can get the general idea ;)
You can add the iif in the SELECT part but I find creating member to be the cleaner solution.
SELECT IIF([Sales Flag].currentMember=1,[Sales], 0) on 0, [Sales Flag] on 1 from [Cube]
If you have a control over the cube in SSAS you can create a calculated member there and you can access it easier.
Glad to hear if Veselin's answer works for you, but if not...
Several approaches are also possible.
Use Measure expression for Sales measure:
Use SCOPE command for Day level (if it's Key level of Date dimension). If it's not a key level you have to aggregate on EVERY level (week, year etc) to emulate AggregateFunction of Sales measure but with updated behavior for one flag:
SCOPE([Date].[Your Date Hierarchy].[Day].members,[Measures].[Sales]);
THIS=IIF([Sales Flag].CurrentMember = 1,[Measures].[Sales],0);
END SCOPE;
Update logic in DSV to multiply Sales column by SalesFlag. This is the easiest way from T-SQL perspective.
I am trying to create dynamic Time Intelligence in SSAS Tabular similar to traditional OLAP Time Intel.
Additionally, I need Time Intelligence that can handle two sets of date hierarchies. For example, a Transmission Date and an Activity Date.
For example, I am trying to create a simple year-to-date sum of gross sales given that the user has selected two filters in an Excel pivot table. We are talking about all dates of transmission but only from the point of view of a single activity date. That is, I want to view 2016 total sales as if it were today, but also as if it were last month (i.e. as of a month ago, what did sales look like?).
An additional caveat is that I need two special calendars: a radio broadcast calendar for the transmission period and a traditional gregorian for the activity period.
I have started here:
YTD :=
IF (HASONEVALUE ( Dates[Years-Bcast] ),
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Sales[Sales Amount] ),
FILTER (
ALL( Dates ),Dates[Years-Bcast] = VALUES ( Dates[Years-Bcast] )
&& Dates[DatesKey] <= MAX ( Dates[DatesKey] )
)
),
BLANK ()
)
The problem I assume is my filter; I really want the last FILTER clause to be:
&& Dates[ActivityDateKey] <= MAX ( Dates[DatesKey] )
The activity date would be a user-defined report filter. It seems I need 2 filters. The first filter is filtering out only the applicable transmission dates I need, so then my activity date filter is pointless.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
this might be what you're looking for..

Let's assume i have easy table with sales data like:
id shop
id product
date
amount
Can you help me to write MDX query for calculated member to get current period sales ratio to same period of previous year?
For example, if month or quarter selected as one of dimensions.
Let's assume you've a [Time] dimension with [Year], [Month] and [Day] levels.
If
SELECT
[Time].[Jan 2015]:[Time].[Dec 2015] on 0,
[Measures].[Sales] on 1
FROM
[Cube]
Returns the sales for all months of 2015. We can add a calculated measure to get ratio :
WITH
MEMBER [Sales Ratio] AS DivN(
[Sales],
( ParallelPeriod( [Time].[Year], 1, [Time].current ), [Sales] )
SELECT
[Time].[Jan 2015]:[Time].[Dec 2015] on 0,
{[Sales],[Sales Ratio]} on 1
FROM
[Cube]
DivN is icCube specific and allows for dividing being 'empty' safe.
ParallelPeriod is a standard MDX function, that returns previous years month. You could also use Lag(-12), that is 'travelling' backwards in a level 12 times.
current (aka Currentmember) is also standard MDX and allows for retrieving the current value of a hierarchy/ dimension.
In icCube I'd add a function to navigate to the previous year so you can reuse it (and fix one if needed). Like :
WITH
FUNCTION timePrevYear(t_) AS ParallelPeriod( [Time].[Year], 1, t_ )
MEMBER [Sales Ratio] AS DivN(
[Sales],
( timePrevYear( [Time].current ), [Sales] )
SELECT
[Time].[Jan 2015]:[Time].[Dec 2015] on 0,
{[Sales],[Sales Ratio]} on 1
FROM
[Cube]
It's going to be a bit too much but eventually you could add this kind of calculations in what we call in MDX Utility or Stats dimension, so you can even let the end-user select this in a dropdown from a reporting tools. More on this here.
In the models I create for my clients, I sometimes take another route as ic3 has suggested:
Especially when there will be lots of additional calculations on top of these (e.g. year-to-date, inception-to-date, month-to-date etc).
This is:
load the same facts data again, but set as the "load date" the "date" - 1 year (e.g. mySQL: DATE_ADD(,INTERVAL -1 YEAR).
Advantages:
drill through on history is possible
lots of formulas can be added "on top" of these, you always know that the basics are ok
