I have a query:
select non empty
order ([Item].Children
,([Measures].[Total Line Value]
,[January 2010])
,DESC)
on Columns,
non empty
[January 2010]
on Rows
from [Sales Analysis]
where [Measures].[Total Line Value]
This query shows, in order from highest to lowest, the total sales a particular item has made for the month January 2010. What I would like to do is show the total sales an item has made between 2 specified dates, say January 2010 - March 2011. It just has to be the total value and not the value for each month. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Use "WITH" statement to declare new measure
Sum({[Your dim-n].[January 2010]:[Your dim-n].[March 2011]}, [Measures].[Total Line Value])
Use this new measure on the axis Rows and remove WHERE clause.
p.s. I can't test it now, so I can make a mistake :).

I have MDX query fetching last 3 months data based on customer names/previous month sales<>0. Please note to calculate previous month sales, i am using parallelperiod in cube calculation hence I keep [Dim EIS Time].[By Fiscal Year].[Period] along with customername. Executing MDX query getting results in row wise where as looking for month wise sales on column wise.
MDX query::
select
{[Measures].[Sales]} on columns,
Filter((except(
[Dim Customer].[CustomerName].[CustomerName].MEMBERS,
{[Dim Customer].[CustomerName].&[NA],[Dim Customer].[CustomerName].&[UNKNOWN]}),
LastPeriods(3,[Dim Time].[By Fiscal Year].[Period].&[Jul-21])),
abs(round([Measures].[PreviousMonthSales],6))<>0.000000) on rows from [CSIS]
Getting results::

I want to calculate sales for promotion using it's date. I need 3 measures, avg sales from 21 days before promotion start date, sales in between of promotion's start and end date, and sales from 21 days after promotion's end date.
Why Visual Studio highlights avg in code below?
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Sales in promotion]
AS Avg(Existing([Promotion].[Promotion name].[Promotion name]),[Measures].[Sales]), ...
Same in here:
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Sales before promotion]
AS (EXISTING([Promotion].[Promotion name].[Promotion name]), AVG(strtomember("[Date].[Date].&["+ [Promotion].[Date].currentmember.member_key+"]").lag(21) : strtomember("[Date].[Date].&["+ [Promotion].[Date From].currentmember.member_key+"]"),
[Measures].[Sales])) ...
If I do sum(existing()) in first measure, the sum is calculated correctly, but it doesn't allow me to get average.
EXISTING will only help if [Promotion] is part of your query in either the WHERE or SELECT clause. If it is not included in either of these clause then EXISTING will be finding 1 member - the All member.
You could try NonEmpty and maybe move the period logic into a custom set?
WITH
SET [PERIOD] AS
STRTOSET(
"[Date].[Date].&["+ [Promotion].[Date].currentmember.member_key+"].lag(21)
:
[Date].[Date].&["+ [Promotion].[Date From].currentmember.member_key+"]"
)
From the code you posted I cannot tell if you want a daily average or and average per promotion ? Say there were 2 promotions over the 21 days does this mean you want (Total/2/21) ?
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
I want to create a member based on this problem
I have a Product A being sold
I want to find the largest range of consecutive days without sale
example:
days 1,2,3 the product not sale, after that,it sold for 15 consecutive days, at 19th day it didnt sell for 2 days and after that it sold every day until the end of the month
so my maximum days without sale was 3
The following query delivers in the Microsoft sample cube Adventure Works what you want:
WITH Member Measures.[days without sales] AS
IIf( [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] > 0
, 0
,(Measures.[days without sales], [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember.PrevMember) + 1
)
Member Measures.[Max days without sales] AS
Max( [Date].[Calendar].[Date].Members
,Measures.[days without sales]
)
SELECT { [Measures].[Max days without sales] }
ON COLUMNS
FROM [Adventure Works]
WHERE [Product].[Product].&[486]
The measure days without sales is defined recursively, and returns how many days up to and including the current member of the [Date].[Calendar] hierarchy there was no sales. You may need to adapt the criteria for "without sale", bearing in mind that in MDX, numerical comparisons treat NULL as 0 - which is different from SQL.
This measure only works correctly if there is a member in this hierarchy for each day, i. e. there are no gaps in this hierarchy. And actually, the definition is more general than just working for days: If you use months for the [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember, it would give you the number of months without sales, etc. It works with each level of the hierarchy.
The measure Max days without sales does not contain the product in its definition, it delivers the maximum days for whatever is in context (in this case the product in the WHERE clause).
Please note that - as actually there is a loop over all days in the [Date].[Calendar] hierarchy when calculating Measures.[Max days without sales], and within that the recursion again iterates along the previous days, and all this for each cell in the result set - this may be slow for large reports.
My MDX is fledgling at best, and it is a realistic possibility that I don't even know how to phrase my question correctly to search for an answer. Sorry if this is a duplicate.
I have a date/time hierarchy [Dates]:
[Work Date].[Dates].[Year].[Quarter].[Month].[Day]
What I want to do is return the previous 5 years worth of data, for the month of X (let's assume January):
Year Sub Total
2008 645712.11
2009 848075.43
2010 765802.60
However, I'm having trouble restricting the "Year" data, based on the specific month. I have tried this MDX code, but it yields no results at all:
SELECT [Measures].[Sub Total] ON 0,
[Work Date].[Dates].[Year] ON 1
FROM (
SELECT [Work Date].[Dates].[Month].&[01] ON 0
FROM [Data Warehouse])
If I edit the sub-select I can get a specific year, quarter and month... but I only want to restrict the month portion and not the year. I've looked into using an EXCEPT clause, but I run into the same issue. Does that make any sense? I appreciate any help, and am not opposed to reading long articles if it will further my learning / understanding. Thanks!
After your explanation in comments: To get the same child of each hierarchy level you can use the MDX function COUSIN (here the reference on msdn). As documentation said:
Returns the child member with the same relative position under a
parent member as the specified child member.
so in your case your Date dimension has to be complete without missing months or days, so you can write a query like this (I've tested on AdventureWorks)
with member [Measures].[Sub Total]
as (Cousin([Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2004]&[1], [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember), [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]) , Format_string = 'Currency'
Select {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],[Measures].[Sub Total] } on 0
,{
[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2002]
,[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2003]
,[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2004]
} on 1
from [Adventure Works]
I've put side by side the total and the sub total for the years. I am considering only these 3 years because they are complete from jan to dec and I can apply cousin operator without problem.
Hope this help!
