Analysis :: Closing Period With Date Dimension

Aug 11, 2010

I have a date dimension with below Hieararchy:

Year-->Quarter-->Month-->Week

Week is the lowest granular attribute.

Also i have a measure 'Holdings'

I would like to create calculated measure which should give me closing holdings at all levels(week ,Month,Quarter and year levels.) whichever i pull in the browse pane.

Below calculated measure would show the holdings for whatever the level you have specified.

([Measures].[Holdings],
ClosingPeriod( [DIM BI DATE].[Calendar].[WEEK], [DIM BI DATE].[Calendar].CurrentMember
))

But this measure shows the value for only week attribute.

for month,([Measures].[Holdings],ClosingPeriod( [DIM BI DATE].[Calendar].[Month],
[DIM BI DATE].[Calendar].CurrentMember ))

But my aim is to create a calculated measure to give closing value for any level.

Analysis :: SSAS Time Period Dimension Aggregation

Jul 27, 2015

I have a monthly time period dimension representing average number of students for each month. At the yearly aggregate level I don't want it to sum up the avg number of students from every month because that number is incorrect. I would like it to use the number of students from the most recent month as a roll up. Is that possible to configure in SSAS?

Analysis :: Show Only Ultimo Values In Date Dimension?

Aug 28, 2015

I've a table which contains a record for each day an employee is employed:In the cube  I've create a measure which is a sum of the field "Employed"  which provides me the number of employees that are employed for a given date (lowest level of my time dimensions which are YEAR-MONTH-DATE)The problem is that the number aggregating on YEAR and MONTH which provides me with wrong figures at these levels - So how can create a calculated measure (maybe with Scope) that only show the Ultimo Numbers at the lowest level when I am browsing on the Month or Year level. For example if I am on the Year level I only want it to sum on the date 31-12-xxxx and if I'm at the month level(for example July 2012) it should show me the sum of 31-07-2012 which are the last level for the given month.

Analysis :: Parallel Period Sliced By Other Dimensions

Aug 4, 2015

I have make a calculated member for previous period of an given date range.  The previous period is the same date range from the previous year, and I have managed to achieve that with the calculated member:

Create member currentcube.[Measures].[PrevPeriod] as
(ParallelPeriod( [Start Date].[Cal Hierarchy].[Year], 1, [Start Date].[CAL Hierarchy].CurrentMember), [Measures].[Count]);

This member returns the correct result as long as my query uses the time dimension, which makes sense... but I also need to show results sliced by other dimensions in bar charts that do not display the time dimension.  For example, I have a dimension with only 3 members called [Region].[Area].[AreaName].

The result set for the bar chart needs to look like this:

[AreaName] | [Count] | [PrevPeriod]
East            |    43      |       56
West           |    53      |       95

But the [PrevPeriod] only returns values if I include the time dimension.  I essentially need to sum the results of the time dimension/AreaName/[PrevPeriod] tuple down to just Areaname/[PrevPeriod] for whatever date range may be involved.

I don't know if this is significant to the issue, but the client tool that generates the bar charts builds the query with the date range as a subcube in the FROM statement.  If the [PrevPeriod] is outside of the subcube that is still OK, as long as the time dimension is included in an Axis on the final select statement, so at least I know I am not suffering from the members inside the subcube.  I've also found in SSMS that it makes no difference if I make the query a subcube, or put the date range in a where clause instead;  I still get NULL for [PrevPeriod] without the dates.

I can't imagine that this is an unusual situation, so I hope I've explained it adequately!  What is the recommended technique for summarizing a Parallelperiod by dimensions without displaying the time/dates ?

Analysis :: Total Calculation With Filter For Parallel Period

Nov 30, 2015

I have developed a cube in my work place for analyzing current year sales with previous year sales in Time Hierarchy (Year- Quarter- Month) using Parallel period. If we want to see data for particular Quarters i.e. Q1 and Q2 then total at the year level should also get change. Currently if we only choose 2 quarters in the filter then current year data gets change, however data using parallel period is not getting change accordingly and its shows Total of full year.

Analysis :: Parallel-period Equivalent For A Time Range?

Jan 27, 2009

Our client wants to report on their trade volume for last year as compared to the current quarter. For simplicity let's pretend they have a report where they have a two key measures:

[Trade Volume - Tons]
[Trade Volume - Tons MTD]
[Trade Volume - Tons]

is based on outlook - that is, for any period we are reporting on the trade volume will be reported as actuals that have been loaded up until the current period, and forecast for the current and future periods.

[Trade Volume - Tons MTD] is based only on actuals - that is for any period we are reporting on the trade volume will be reported as actuals that have been loaded up until and including the current period, and 0 for any future periods.

If Feb09 is our current period, and we are using quarter on the time dimension (where quarter 1=Jan09,Feb09,Mar09) and we have the following data:

Jan09 Trade Volume Actual: 100 Trade Volume Forecast: 150
Feb09 Trade Volume Actual: 50 Trade Volume Forecast: 200
March09 Trade Volume Actual: 75 Trade Volume Forecast: 225

Then

[Trade Volume - Tons]=100+200+225=525
[Trade Volume - Tons MTD]=100+50=150

This is a problem, because the comparison with their current results ([Trade Volume - Tons MTD]) with what they 'forecast' ([Trade Volume - Tons]) is not based on the same period of time - we are comparing the sum of two periods versus three periods.To solve this we changed the reporting period to be monthly granularity, and now select Jan09-Feb09 as our range (as opposed to having a quarter granularity and selecting Q1,2009 in the example above).

This works well and produces the expected results:

[Trade Volume - Tons]=100+200=350
[Trade Volume - Tons MTD]=100+50=150

However, this introduces a secondary problem: we are doing a prior year calculation on the Trade Volume also, so the users can compare how the actuals are comparing to the same period last year.To do this we use the following formula for the prior year calculation:

Prior Year Actuals=([Measures].[Trade Volume - Tons], ParallelPeriod([Time].[544 Hierarchy].[Period Year],1,[Time].[544 Hierarchy].currentmember))

The problem is as soon as we move from quarter granularity to (monthly granularity AND select more than one monthly period) the Prior Year Actuals calculation produces a an error "The MDX function CURRENTMEMBER failed because the coordinate for the 'Period Year' attribute contains a set".So, ParallelPeriod does not like it when currentmember is a range (Jan09,Feb09) rather than a single period (Jan09).

Analysis :: Calculating A Rolling Median Over A Period Of 3 Years?

Jun 17, 2015

calculating a rolling median over a period of 3 years.

I already calculate median and I've tried to calculate rolling median over a period of 3 years as below.

 MEDIAN([Date].[Year].CurrentMember.Lag(3):[Date].[Year].CurrentMember,[Measures].[median])

What this does is, it calculates the median of the medians over the period of 3 years. But, what I'm looking for is the overall median of the underlying measure over a period of 3 years.

What I have now:

Year1 - 41,52,73;  Median1 - 52
Year2 - 6,9,12;  Median2- 9
Year3 - 24,68,89; Median3 - 68
Overall Median of 9,52,68 - 52

What I need:

Year1 - 41,52,73;  Median1 - 52
Year2 - 6,9,12;  Median2- 9
Year3 - 24,68,89; Median3 - 68

Overall Median of 41,52,73,6,9,12,24,68,89 is 41

Analysis :: How To Get Dimension Key Attribute In MDX

Apr 30, 2015

Many dimensions don't have unique members.  Instead, the dimension source data has duplicates at the leaf level: it's left up to SSAS to aggregate up to the actual leaf level used in hierarchies.

Every cube I've worked on in the past, a dimension is clearly defined in the source data, with uniqueness already present there: we don't make a dimension out of duplicated, sort of facty data.  This kind of design seems as weird to me as an unnormalised SQL database.

Here's an example to illustrate what I mean; I'll use that Adventureworks database.

We have a Geography dimension with a Geography hierarchy.  Levels go like this from top to bottom:

Country
State-Province
City
Postcode

The Geography dimension has a key attribute called Geography Key.  It's there in the cube design as a dimension attribute, but it's not in any of the hierarchies, so I can't query it in MDX.  But that's fine: it has the same cardinality as the lowest level (Postal Code), because the dimension has some kind of normal design.

In the cube I'm dealing with, it's all messed up.  Using the AdventureWorks example above as a parallel, someone made a Geography dimension with source data keyed on [PostalCode, ExactAddress], but only wanted the dimension granularity to be PostalCode.

This makes it very hard to debug why the data in this dimension is incorrect.  I can't match up the dimension members in the cube to the source data, because the dimension doesn't actually go down to the real leaf level!

So I have a dimension attribute called ExactAddressKey, but I can't query on it in MDX, because it's not part of any dimension hierarchy.  Unfortunately changing any part of this cube design is not possible, so I can't even experiment with settings and see what happens.

How I could get to the leaf level of the data imported?  Something like

Geography.Geography.TheInvisibleLeafLevel.Members.Properties('Key')

Or does this kind of dimension design result in SSAS discarding all the data that's more granular than the most granular attribute defined in any hierarchy - so that the data actually isn't there to be queried?

Any idea how to get such an "other" category?

Analysis :: Can Use CurrentMember In Dimension Security

Aug 19, 2015

I am trying to define the security based on Current Member.

Can i put following statement in the DimensionData - Allowed Members Set

EXISTS([Dim M].[Emp No].MEMBERS, [Security EMP].[Role].CurrentMember, "Uvw Security Emp ")

So that the list of EMP Nos that are visible changes when a different Role is selected (Filtered).

If not then is there any other way of achieving the same? What I want is that the list of EMP No that are visible should change when the user filters it using "Role" attribute in the "Uvw Security Emp" dimension. 

If I add the Role attribute in the Dim M Dimension I think it will unnecessarily calculate aggregations, etc.

Analysis :: Calculation Based On Dimension Value

Oct 8, 2015

Need to resolve this calculation, which I would believe is something very common on SSAS environments. 

Like many companies, my company has different ways of calculating Sales and the two I want to focus are Sales Gross and Sales Net. 

At a high level, we calculate Sales Gross as Sales with returns, and Sales Net as Sales without returns.

We have an attribute called Order Type that has various types of orders a user can execute with my company. One of them is Returns. If you return something back to us, we record that as a return line on the sales table. With that, we can calculate that return, breaking data down by Order Type, such as:

Order Type Line Total

Mail Orders $ 776,655.44

Internet Orders $ 2,211,334.00

Call Center Orders $ 11,223,344.00

Credit Orders  $ (55,666.00)

Today, to calculate Sales Gross and Sales Net, we are creating two dimensions: DimSalesGross and DimSalesNet. 

To calculate Sales Gross, we leave the data at the natural state, not making any changes to mappings. 

To calculate Sales Net, we map Credit Orders to Call Center Orders at the ETL level, getting a Net value for sales (Orders - Returns), however, I doubt this is the correct way of doing. 

I would like to have a Line Total Net / Line Total Gross calculation, which would be based on the Order Type value.

Perhaps using a CASE statement in MDX? Is the above possible?

Analysis :: Subset Dimension Linked Two Times?

Aug 6, 2015

I have a cube with some dimensions (dim1,dim2,dim3).I want to add another dimension (dim4) based on dim1 but more restricted.Eg. Dim1 is a product dimension, and I will create Dim4 from a subset of Dim1 (only few and predetermined products).

I will create a view (or a named query) with the appropriate where clause, create a dimension on this view/namedQ, then add on the existant cube and link it on dimension usage. Great. But in this way in the cube I haven't all fact data but only data for the product of Dim4! (Dim1 is still present).

eg: in fact data I have a total of 100$ of sales for all the products, if I link the Dim4 then the sales amount is 40$, that is the value for the product in Dim4 not for all product (I can't set the filter for Dim1/Dim4 in excel). I haven't found any way for get the 100$.

I try with two Date dimension: the first from 01/01/2010 to 31/12/2015 and the second from 01/01/2015 to 31/12/2015. If I link both I see only data for the second period (only 2015).

it seems that the more restrictive dimension trumps.What's wrong? There are other ways to get what I want? I've tried the property "DependOnDimension" but without results.

I won't publish the attribute used in the WHERE clause on the dimension.
