Concatenate the strings from a Crossjoin in MDX - mdx

SELECT
NON EMPTY {[Measures].[Page Views]} ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY {
Crossjoin({[Date Dim.Weekday Hierarchy].[Weekday].Members},
{[Time Dimension.Time Hierarchy].[Hour].Members})
} ON ROWS
FROM [All Facts]
Is code to get the page views per weekday. It currently returns data like this:
Sunday
......0 - 198273
......1 - 123987
......2 - 128372
......3 - 1283712
for each hour, for each day.
How do I get this to concatenate the strings from the crossjoin, so that it returns:
Sunday 0 - 198273
Sunday 1 - 123987
Sunday 2 - 128372
Sunday 3 - 1283712
Or must this be created as a totally new measure?

Sorry I'm a bit un a hurry but you can use mdx calculated members to generate the string:
With
Member MyOutput AS [Date Dim.Weekday Hierarchy].[Weekday].name + " " + [Time Dimension.Time Hierarchy].[Hour] + " " + STR( ([Measures].[Page Views]) )
SELECT
NON EMPTY {[Measures].[MyOutput]} ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY {
Crossjoin({[Date Dim.Weekday Hierarchy].[Weekday].Members},
{[Time Dimension.Time Hierarchy].[Hour].Members})
} ON ROWS
FROM [All Facts]

Found a solution:
> WITH MEMBER [Measures].[pretty hour] AS [Date Dim.Weekday Hierarchy].[Weekday].CurrentMember.name || " " || [Time Dimension.Time Hierarchy].[Hour].CurrentMember.name
> SELECT
> NON EMPTY {[Measures].[pretty hour], [Measures].[Page Views]} ON COLUMNS,
> NON EMPTY {
> Crossjoin({[Date Dim.Weekday Hierarchy].[Weekday].Members},
> {[Time Dimension.Time Hierarchy].[Hour].Members})
> } ON ROWS
>FROM [All Facts]
You have to ignore the row headers, but it produces the result I wanted! :) #icCube had the right-ish idea, just Mondrian needed || instead of +, and "CurrentMember.name" instead of just "name"

trouble with dynamic year filter in MDX

I have the following query that I use in Azure data factory(this is on the source of a copy action):

In here I would like to replace the WHERE with something like Cast(YEAR(GETDATE())-4 as varchar(10)) Now I am really new to MDX and I keep getting stuck. Could anyone point me in the right direction?
So what i want to achieve is not having to adjust the query every year and be able to only have the last 4 years.
If you are looking for a SQL equivalent as below in MDX
SELECT ... From ... WHERE date > DATEADD(year,-4,GETDATE())
Try using "with member" and function parallelperiod.
CREATE MEMBER CurrentCube.Measures.[Last4Years] AS
ParallelPeriod( [Date].[Date].[Date Yr], 4, StrToMember(“[Date].[Date].&[” + Format(now(), “yyyyMMdd”) + “]”))
: StrToMember(“[Date].[Date].&[” + Format(now(), “yyyyMMdd”) + “]”)
;

Your query is not well formed. You need to make set out of the range you want to slice. Here is an example:
WITH SET [~ROWS] AS
(${dateFromParameter} : ${dateToParameter})
MEMBER Measures.[number] as
FORMAT([date].[godina].CurrentMember.PROPERTIES("datum"), "dd.mm.yyyy")
SET [ROOT] AS
FILTER([ORG].[org_id].Members, [ORG].[org_id].currentmember.parent.parent=[ORG].[org_id].currentmember.parent)
SELECT
NON EMPTY {[Measures].[total], Measures.[number]} ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY [ROOT] * [~ROWS] ON ROWS
FROM [svcs]

Mdx Query Show Year Level Data for all years except This Year

SELECT
NON EMPTY
{[Measures].[AMOUNTCUR]} ON 0
,NON EMPTY
{
NULL : [PRX_UE_DATE].[Calender].[Year].&[2015]
,[PRX_UE_DATE].[Calender].[Year].&[2017]
,Descendants
(
[PRX_UE_DATE].[Calender].[Year].&[2016]
,[PRX_UE_DATE].[Calender].[Month]
)
} ON 1
FROM [PRX_SalesDataModel];
I have a query like above. It's working It returns 2016 on month based others years are year based.
Now I have to add more dimensions on this mdx but when i try it to like
SELECT
NON EMPTY
{[Measures].[AMOUNTCUR]} ON 0
,NON EMPTY
{
NULL : [PRX_UE_DATE].[Calender].[Year].&[2015]
,[PRX_UE_DATE].[Calender].[Year].&[2017]
,
Descendants
(
[PRX_UE_DATE].[Calender].[Year].&[2016]
,[PRX_UE_DATE].[Calender].[Month]
)
*
[PRX UE CLIENT].[SEGMENTID].ALLMEMBERS
} ON 1
FROM [PRX_SalesDataModel];
I get error Members, tuples or sets must use the same hierarchies in the function.
You just need to keep all the date dimension stuff in set braces {...}:
SELECT
NON EMPTY
{[Measures].[AMOUNTCUR]} ON 0
,NON EMPTY
{
NULL : [PRX_UE_DATE].[Calender].[Year].&[2015]
,[PRX_UE_DATE].[Calender].[Year].&[2017]
,
Descendants
(
[PRX_UE_DATE].[Calender].[Year].&[2016]
,[PRX_UE_DATE].[Calender].[Month]
)
}
* [PRX UE CLIENT].[SEGMENTID].ALLMEMBERS
ON 1
FROM [PRX_SalesDataModel];
You could even make it maybe more readable by moving the date stuff into a named set via a WITH clause:
WITH SET [DatesSet] AS
{
NULL : [PRX_UE_DATE].[Calender].[Year].&[2015]
,[PRX_UE_DATE].[Calender].[Year].&[2017]
,
Descendants
(
[PRX_UE_DATE].[Calender].[Year].&[2016]
,[PRX_UE_DATE].[Calender].[Month]
)
}
SELECT
NON EMPTY
{[Measures].[AMOUNTCUR]} ON 0
,NON EMPTY
[DatesSet]
* [PRX UE CLIENT].[SEGMENTID].ALLMEMBERS
ON 1
FROM [PRX_SalesDataModel];
You've got your answer from #whytheq on why the error cropped up. There is just one part which I felt is not handled yet. You are building the set of years by hand. Instead of that, it can be made dynamic like below -
with set AllYearsExceptCurrent as
filter(
[PRX_UE_DATE].[Calender].[Year].members as yr,
yr.current.item(0).member_value <> Format(Now(), "yyyy")
)

How to build a dynamic MDX formula for a calculated member?

I am trying to create a Calculated Member to get a sum up to last week.
No problem to get the week value (I need it to be two digits i.e. '05', so adding 100-1 )
with
Member [Measures].Week as
'right(str(int(99+datepart ( ''ww'', Now()))),2)'
-- That works as expected
member [Measures].SalesUpToWeek as
'strtomember(
"aggregate(periodstodate([Dim].[2015],[Dim].[2015].[" + ([Measures].Week) + "]),[Measures].[Sales])")'
I get the literal value
aggregate(
periodstodate([Dim].[2015],[Dim].[2015].[25])
,[Measures].[Sales]
)
What I need is the value of this MDX calculation.
All other attempts end up with a syntax error. Just as an example
member [Measures].SumToWeek as
'aggregate(
periodstodate(
[Dim].[2015],[Dim].[2015].[' + strtomember([Measures].Week) + '])
,[Measures].[Sales])'
Error
Lexical error at line 2, column 0. Encountered: after : "[\n"
Any idea?
[Measures].Week is already a string entity. You don't need to put StrToMember around it. Instead you should have it outside the string you dynamically defined.
with
Member [Measures].Week as
"right(str(int(99+datepart ( ''ww'', Now()))),2)"
member [Measures].SumToWeek as
aggregate(
periodstodate(
[Dim].[2015],
StrToMember("[Dim].[2015].[" + [Measures].Week + "]")
)
,
[Measures].[Sales]
)
This is your error:
strtomember([Measures].Week)
Let us say that [Measures].Week is equal to 15 then you are trying to do this:
strtomember(15)
So there are two errors in the above:
You're feeding a numeric into a functions that converts Strings to Memebers
You need to feed in the full string representation of the member i.e."[Dim].[2015].[15]"
Maybe try putting the strToMember function around the string that is the representation of the member:
MEMBER[Measures].SumToWeek AS
'aggregate(
periodstodate(
[Dim].[2015],
strtomember('[Dim].[2015].[' + [Measures].Week + ']', constrained)
)
,[Measures].[Sales])'
Here is the MSDN reference for the function strtomember:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms146022.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
Edit
Looking at this previous post: (StrToMember does not accept calculated measure (mdx))
...you need to create the member before feeding it into the new measure, so:
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[Week] AS
Right
(
Str(Int(99 + Datepart('ww',Now())))
,2
)
MEMBER [Dim].[2015].[TargetWeek] AS
StrToMember
(
'[Dim].[2015].[' + [Measures].Week + ']'
,constrained
)
MEMBER [Measures].SumToWeek AS
Aggregate
(
PeriodsToDate
(
[Dim].[2015]
,[Dim].[2015].[TargetWeek]
)
,[Measures].[Sales]
)
Edit2
Ok if you wish to use PeriodsToDate then we need to use StrToSet and then use the member in this set inside the function. This is because custom members lose their family ties and are therefore useless inside some mdx functions.
Here is a working script in AdvWrks illustrating the approach I'm suggesting:
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[Wk] AS
Right
(
Str(Int(99 + Datepart('ww',Now())))
,2
)
SET [TargetWeek] AS
StrToSet
(
'[Date].[Calendar Weeks].[Calendar Week].[Week ' + cstr([Measures].[Wk]) + ' CY 2007]'
)
MEMBER [Measures].[SumToWeek] AS
Aggregate
(
PeriodsToDate
(
[Date].[Calendar Weeks].[Calendar Year]
,[TargetWeek].item(0).item(0)
)
,([Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])
)
SELECT
{[Measures].[SumToWeek]} ON 0,
[Product].[Product Categories].[All] ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works];
I got an interesting suggestion on Pentaho forums that pointed me to a nice blog post which allowed to write an elegant solution:
http://diethardsteiner.blogspot.com.es/2009/10/current-date-function-on-mondrian.html
with
member [Measures].sm as aggregate(
periodstodate(
currentdatemember([Dim],'["Dim"]\.[yyyy]'), -- current year
currentdatemember([Dim],'["Dim"]\.[yyyy]\.[ww]').lag(1) -- previous week
),
[Measures].[Sales])

The Axis0 function expects a tuple set expression for the argument

I just want to get the invoices distinct count of sales on March. I got this MDX query.
My MDX Query:
select
distinctcount([Measures].[Sales #]) on columns,
--[Measures].[Sales #] on columns,
non empty ([Customer].[Store Group].[Store Group]) on rows
from
(
select
{
[Calendar].[Month].[March 2015]
}
ON columns
from [F1_SalesBI])
But I got the following error, whenever I tried executing this.
Executing the query ...
The Axis0 function expects a tuple set expression for the argument. A string or numeric expression was used.
Execution complete
Here is the definition from msdn:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms145519.aspx
Syntax:
DistinctCount(Set_Expression)
You're doing this when you use Measures as the argument:
DistinctCount(Numeric_Expression)
Something like the following should hopefully run ok:
WITH
SET [mySet] AS
[Customer].[Store Group].[Store Group] * {[Measures].[Sales #]}
MEMBER [Measures].[setDistCount] AS
DistinctCount([mySet])
SELECT
{
[Measures].[setDistCount]
,[Measures].[Sales #]
} ON 0
,NON EMPTY
[Customer].[Store Group].[Store Group] ON 1
FROM
(
SELECT
{[Calendar].[Month].[March 2015]} ON 0
FROM [F1_SalesBI]
);
To return the number of invoices for the month try the following:
WITH
SET [mySet] AS
{[Calendar].[Month].[March 2015]} * {[Measures].[Sales #]}
MEMBER [Measures].[setDistCount] AS
DistinctCount([mySet])
SELECT
{
[Measures].[setDistCount]
} ON 0
FROM [F1_SalesBI];
If the above returns 1 then try inspecting the set via this script:
SELECT
{} on 0,
{[Calendar].[Month].[March 2015]} * {[Measures].[Sales #]} ON 0
FROM [F1_SalesBI];
Does this just return 1 member?
How about this (without the set braces around the measure)?:
SELECT
{} on 0,
{[Calendar].[Month].[March 2015]} * [Measures].[Sales #] ON 0
FROM [F1_SalesBI];
