hi all,
I was wondering if it is possible in SSAS 2005 that a calculated member is based off of an (integer) dimension attribute and another (integer) measure (let's say a multiplication operation) ?
If there a trick on doing so? other than stuffing the (integer) dimension attribute back in the fact table, as an measure?
thx much,
Cos
I want an MDX calculated dimension member, (with no measure specified in expression, so that any related measure can be used in a query/browse), and that accomplishes either one of the following:
Ideal: To calculate Median values on every level of a user hierarchy
If "Ideal" is not possible, then "Acceptable" is: To calculates Median values on one or more levels OTHER than the highest level.
Hi
A very basic MDX question. Using the following from AdventureWorks as an example:
Code Snippet
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Big Cities]
AS
(
[Geography].[City].&[New York]&[NY]
, [Measures].[Internet Order Count]
)
SELECT
[Measures].[Big Cities] ON COLUMNS
, [Customer].[Total Children].Children ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works]
How would I re-write the [Measures].[Big Cities] calculated member so it included both [Geography].[City].&[New York]&[NY] and [Geography].[City].&[Los Angeles]&[CA]? Assuming there is no logical connection between these members, and that they are non-contiguous. Also, in my real example, I cannot move [Measures].[Internet Order Count] to the WHERE clause, it must remain within the calculated member.
Thanks,
Julia.
getting Correct Measure based on Member Present in Other Attribute .
I am working on SSAS 2012 and have cube build and ready ..
I have Two Measure in Cube
[MEASURES].[Actual] and [MEASURES].[Target] and I need to create One more Calculate Measure
I have dimension DimProduct
I want to Display [MEASURES].[Actual] if Color "Purple" is present for PRODUCT1 Else Display [MEASURES].[Target].
MDX to create Calculate Measure for this logic?
I am trying to implement data masking based on user login and not sure why this is not working. I have the dimensions DimBrand, DimProduct and DimUser. I should mask the BrandCode with 'XXXX' nothing but in the report all the BrandCode should appear but few of the code will be masked if the user is not belongs to that group. I have a fact table FactProduct in this. In the cube I created all these 3 dimensions and the fact table. I created a new dimension DimBrandMask and I separated the code over there with a relationship with the actual DimBrand dimension. In the cube a reference relationship is set up with the measure group. Created a role with read access.
In the dimension data tab of role I put the below MDX to allowed set.
NonEmpty([DimBrandMask].[Brand Code].Members, (StrToMember("[DimUser].[Login Name].[Login Name].[" + UserName() + "]") ,[Measures].[Dim User Count]))
And in Denied Member set i put the below MDX
IIF( (StrToMember("[DimUser].[Login Name].[Login Name].[" + UserName() + "]"), [DimUser].[Access Right].&[False]), NONEMPTY( [DimBrandMask].[Brand Code].Members,(StrToMember("[DimUser].[Login Name].[Login Name].["
+ UserName() + "]"), [DimUser].[Access Right].&[False], [Measures].[Dim User Count])),{})
Note I created one measure group from the DimUser table and the measure [Dim User Count] is used in the above query.
I am expecting some result like below
Brand BrandCode Count
Brand1 b1 6
Brand2 XXXXX 5
Brand3 XXXXX 10
i want to create a new measure that will behave based on the dimension dropped,ex. if i added the employee dimension only it will aggregate data from the #Calls Count but if i added the product dimension it should display # Product Calls at the product level and #Calls Count at the employee level as shown in the screen shot.

I have following problem:
A measure in a cube need to be divided by another measure as follows:
MEASURE1MEASURE2
Measure 1 (SUM of Money spent by each person)
Measure 2 (Amount of Money available for each country per person).
Example:
USA: 155
Germany:134
France:143)
Measure1 is a SUM and works fine, but Measure2 should only be a distinct value for each country. So if person comes from Germany, then the SUM of Spent Money should be divided by 134.
Any idea how this can be done.
Hi Gurus,
I'm trying to calculate the prior year sales count in a calculated member with the following expression. The cube processes without errors but, the result in PriorYearCount column when i browse the cube is null value for all rows.
-- Prior Yr Sales Count Calculated member
(
[Measures].[W SALES F Count],
ParallelPeriod([Date].[Fiscal Date Hierarchy].[Year]
, 1
, [Date].[Fiscal Date Hierarchy].CurrentMember)
)'
But the same expression works fine when I used it to write query on the cube to get previous year sales count. Following is the query for that. Coundnt understand why the same WITH MEMBER expression used in Calculated member is not working.
With Member [Prior Yr Sales count] As
'(
[Measures].[W SALES F Count]
, ParallelPeriod([Date].[Fiscal Date Hierarchy].[Year]
, 1
, [Date].[Fiscal Date Hierarchy].CurrentMember)
)'
Select
{[Date].[Fiscal Date Hierarchy].[Year].[2004]
, [Date].[Fiscal Date Hierarchy].[Year].[2004].Children} on columns
, {[Measures].[W SALES F Count], [Measures].[Prior Yr Sales count]} on rows
From Cube1
Please correct me if i'm doing anything wrong.
Thank you in advance.
I have a calculated member that calculatest the prior year sales count and the expression looks like this:
--[Prior Yr Sales Count]
([Measures].[W SALES F Count],
ParallelPeriod([Date].[Fiscal Date Hierarchy].[Year]
, 1
, [Date].[Fiscal Date Hierarchy].CurrentMember))
I can see the values for [Prior Yr Sales Count] in the cube if i filter the cube on any year from Date hierarchy.
But, when i gave
[Measures].[Prior Yr Obl Count]
as KPI Value expression, I dont see any value for the KPI even after filtering on Date hierarchy. The calculated members should act just as any other Measures, so why am I not able to see the prior year sales count for the KPI value?
Correct me if I'm not interpreting the usage of calculated members in KPI value expressions.
thanks in advance.
Hi
I need to calculate an average over a dimesion other than time and "average of children" won't do that for me. I'm aware I can create a calculated member where I divide a sum by a count but the problem I have is I need use this calculation in a performance point scorecard and I want to drill down on the measure and you can't do this on calculated members.
Is there any other way of obtaining an this type of average?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I am really stuck here and need some help.
The scenario is that I have a dimension called Product... each product is given points and this is defined in the underlying product table.
The table on which my fact is based has a field called QtySold (which is the qty sold for the product). WhatI want is to somehow use Calculated Member (if that is the right solution) so that for any selected product, the user get's to see a calculated field called, say' Points earned, which will be QtySold multiplied by the points for that product.
Hoping that my question is clear, can someone please help me find a solution.
Billions of thanks in advance.
I've been having difficulties with the following mdx query:

The problem is [Claim Count]. I want the claim count on each row to be the highest claim count from selected rows and placed on each row. The count is way under-reported. However, If I use a simple count statement or distinct count then only the last 2 rows have the count value I am looking for. It doens't seem to be affected by the where clause or the aggregated sets so it is over-reporting on the claim count. Anyone have any thoughts on how to solve this problem?
Basically, I'm cross joining law firms with tasks that show expenses and fees submitted by law firms for billing. I need to calulate averages by dividing the dollar amounts by a claim count. The twist is that the claim count I am looking for only occurs on the indemnity and prior legal fees rows because I know that every claim/case has an indemnity and prior-legal fee transaction in the fact table. The others types of transactions don't. So I have to assume the claim count is max claim count calculated on one of the rows and that number needs to be applied to the rest. Also, the count has to be adjusted by the slicers in the where clause (when I used a simple count statement it wasn't adjusting as I changed the values in the where clause) The slicers in the where clause change the date, or the jurisdiction as well as other dimensions. Hope this information has helped. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

hi,
im trying to do a mdx request to have the average of one of my measure called "PA_Salaire"
I tried this request:
Avg(
Descendants(
[Manager].[Nom Complet].Currentmember
),
[Measures].[PA Salaire]
)
I think my problem is that the dimension "Manager.Name" has a parent child relation.
And the result i have is strange. I have the Pa_Salaire for the employee when its the last child but the total of the PA_Salaire of a manager (not one of the last child) doesnt give the average of his child but the average of all the employee of the society...
Im not sure it's clear so Here is an example:
AVG_PA_Salaire
Mr David (the boss)
Mr David 10 000
Mr Smith (a manager)
Mr Smith 5000
Ms Kalvin 2000
Mr Ollbek 3000
Total 5571.4 instead of 3333.33
Ms Richo (an other manager)
Ms Richo 8000
Mr theck 5000
Ms Irita 6000
Total 5571.4 instead of 6333.33
Total 5571.4 the good total of all employee
Can anyone help me plz, i really need to do that...

Hi,
I defined several calculated measures in my cube. In Report Designer, i want to filter data depending a calculated measure.
Some caluclated measures are missing properties like value or ismissing. Anybody a hint, why these measures dont provide the properties, as for that filtering or hiding is not possible.
In AS every property is the sam for all calcs and the leaking calcs dont have difficult expressions (IIF(measure<0,measure/measure,0.0)
Thanks in advance
I have a Calculated Member in SSAS that I need to adjust based what the current member is.
The code is below
CASE WHEN [Measures].[End LIS] = 0 AND "HELP" THEN
CASE WHEN [Measures].[Beginning LIS] = 0 OR [Measures].[Beginning LIS] + [Measures].[Beginning LIS] + [Measures].[NETACTIVATIONS] = 0 THEN NULL ELSE
ROUND([Measures].[Disconnects]/(([Measures].[Beginning LIS] + [Measures].[Beginning LIS] + [Measures].[NETACTIVATIONS])/2) * 100 ,2) END
ELSE ROUND(([Measures].[Disconnects] / [AVERAGELIS] * 100) ,2)
END
In English - i need this to translate to - of End LIS is 0 "AND the current member is the current month and current year" THEN carry on
Else ROUND(([Measures].[Disconnects] / [AVERAGELIS] * 100) ,2).
I came up with
CASE WHEN [Measures].[End LIS] = 0
AND [Dim Date].[FSCL_YM].[Month Nm].currentmember.membervalue = Format(now(), "yyyy")+"]&["+Format(now(), "M")
THEN
CASE WHEN [Measures].[Beginning LIS] = 0 OR [Measures].[Beginning LIS] + [Measures].[Beginning LIS] + [Measures].[NETACTIVATIONS] = 0 THEN NULL ELSE
ROUND([Measures].[Disconnects]/(([Measures].[Beginning LIS] + [Measures].[Beginning LIS] + [Measures].[NETACTIVATIONS])/2) * 100 ,2) END
ELSE ROUND(([Measures].[Disconnects] / [AVERAGELIS] * 100) ,2)
END
But to no avail.
Hi,

I have added a calculated member in my Analysis Service Cube, but this member does not show up in Report Builder. It is in my cube. I have tried to rebuild the model and to generate a new model. I can create a report from Visual Studio 2005 with the calculated member. Does not Report Builder support calculated members?

Hi,
I woudl like to know how to improve performances of query.
I have a cube, quite small with 8 dimensions and 2 measures. I also have 3 calculated members because i need avg aggregates on my measures. So 2 of my calculated measures are the simple measures but with avg aggregate. the third measure is the increase in percent between the 2 other measures.
I do use and browse my cube in Excel 2007. And the execution time of query is too long. I used the partition to design aggregates and optimize performances but it's still very low.
I saw that "scope" could be more efficient than calculated members but i dont know how it works.
Could someone tell me that?
Here is the code of one of my calculated members:
Avg(
Descendants(
[Manager 1].[Manager].Children
),
[Measures].[PA Salaire]
)
I've been working with SSAS for a good few years now but I keep bumping into this problem - my users are trying to build a measure that is based on a calculated attribute and finding it difficult to work out how to write the MDX to do so. Intuitively, they thought a Calculated Member would work, but I don't think a Calculated Member is quite the same thing from my understanding.
So, here's the scenario.
We have a Product Dimension. We have a Measure that is the Number of days the Product took to make, e.g. 5 days. We also have a Product Count measure that counts the number of Products.
The user would like to write a calculated measure that works out the number of products that took <5 days, 5-10 days, 10-15 days etc.It would be easy to write a set of calculated measures for each of these bandings, but the user wants effectively a single dynamic attribute to use in the calculation in order to automatically distribute these values across the columns in their pivot table.
Is this even possible? I was thinking I could build an attribute on the Product Dimension in the ETL to do this quite easily, but the user wants to be able to change the bandings on the fly by changing the MDX for the attribute, rather than go back to the developer every time.
Hi,
As the users drill down one of the dimensions, I want to show the breakup of each sub member in terms of %age e.g.
Suppose total Sales are 300 and breakup is as follows:
Category A = $ 120
Category B = $ 65
Category C = $ 115
I want that when the user drills down to the 2nd level in the Products dimension (let's say this Level is called Category) then I want the %age of Sales for each category - all adding up to 100
So this is what I should get (for the desired % breakup)
Category A = 40
Category B = 22
Category C = 38
I'll appreciate your help in making such a Calculated field.
Many TIA.
I’m trying to build a calculated member (see below script) using “Except” function but I get an error result:
#Error The function expects a string or numeric expression for the argument. A tuple set expression was used.
My idea is to take a measure and exclude 2 members from the dimension.
I tried using “Aggregate” but got the error:
#Error Query (3, 1) Aggregate functions cannot be used on calculated members in the Measures dimension.
Please note that my measure is ACD that is already calculated average in olap and I can’t use AVG function instead of Aggregate. What can I do?

(
Except(
[Source IP Location].[Country Name].[All].children,{

Hi,
I need to calculate the average of an existing measure of my cube.
The measure is PA_Salaire from a column of my fact table.
I would like to calculate an average i could use with all the dimensions of my cube but i think i can only create one linked to a single dimension. Is that true ?
I dont really understand the way i should write my request. Here is what i did:
(Manager is one of my dimensions, it has a parent child relation... is that a problem? does it change the way i should do?)
Avg(Descendants([Manager].CurrentMember, [Manager].[Name]), [Measures].[PA Salaire]
But that doesnt work at all i get the following result: " #VALUE! " for every manager
Thx for your help

Hi
Analysis manager wont let me create dimension unless fact table filed has value init. Other words, how do I create MT dimension(dimension without member)
thanks
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?
Hello SSAS gurus,
Recently i started learning working on Analysis services and writing MDX expressions, so please forgive my ignorance if this is a trivial question.
I ran out of s. Don't know what I should do to fix this. Please point me in the right direction.
We have a cube with one fact table(Imperative Fact) and two dimensions (Client, Client Imperative). A Client has several Imperatives. One of the attributes of Client Imperative dimension is Target Outcome. This is a text field.
We created a measure Client Imperative Count that gives the number of imperatives a client has.
The business defined 'Client Imperative' KPI as following :
If client has 1 or more imperatives and has Target outcome then show green. If client has 1 or more imperatives and does not haveTarget outcome then show yellow. if the client does not have imperative then show red.
Wrote the following KPI Status expression but it doesn't seem to work. Hitting a dead end. couldn't figure this out.
Code Snippet
Case
When
[Measures].[Client Imperatives Count] > 0
And
([Client Imperatives].[TRGT OTCM].currentmember <> null)
or
(Not IsEmpty([Client Imperatives].[TRGT OTCM].currentmember))
Then 1
When
[Measures].[Client Imperatives Count] > 0
And
([Client Imperatives].[TRGT OTCM].currentmember = null)
or
(IsEmpty([Client Imperatives].[TRGT OTCM].currentmember))
Then 0
Else
-1
End
Tried [Client Imperatives].[TRGT OTCM].value but didn't work.
Also, tried to create a calculated member for Target Outcome using following code. It is not working either.

Trying to figure this out since two days. Somebody please help me.
I appreciate your help.
Hello,
I have a calculated member that composed of dividing two other calculated members. The calculation is incorrect and is ignoring the decimal places in both of the source measures of the equation.
Example:
Calculated Member 1 = 300.01
Calculated Member 2 = 10.25
Calculated Member 3 = (CM1 / CM2 ) = 30 INCORRECT!!!
Answer should be = 29.269
The MDX that I am using is as follows:
Calculated Member 1 (Booked Amount YTD):
Sum(PeriodsToDate([Fiscal].[Date].[Fiscal Year]),[OH Booked Amount])
Calculated Member 2 (Units YTD)
Sum(PeriodsToDate([Fiscal].[Date].[Fiscal Year]),[OH Units])
Calculated Member 3 (Booked Amount / Unit)
Measures.[Booked Amount YTD] / Measures.[Units YTD]
This seems like a fairly common and straight forward type of calculation, taking the YTD amount / YTD units to come up with YTD amount per unit. When I create a calculated member with the hardcoded values of 30.01 / 10.25 I get the correct answer of 29.269. Am I missing something with formatting? Is this a bug in Analysis Services?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I cannot understand why Total of calculated member is displayed incorrect. How should I change calculated member for it to work correctly?
Calculated Member:
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].AverageScore
AS IIF([Measures].[Distance]<2001,0,[Measures].[avgscore]/[Measures].[Date Count]),
VISIBLE = 1;
It seems that Total is calculated without checking value in "AverageScore" for that month.
I have a table that contains a column for a calcuated member (x) of type decimal number. When I tried to display the total of this calculated member in the table footer (=sum(x)), I am getting "#Error" instead of the sum of all displayed calculated values.
Column X
--------------
0
0.67
0.10
0.23
#Error (footer cell, expression -> =Sum(x))
=First(x), =Last(x) and =Max(x) worked fine, not sure why Sum failed. Please help...
Thanks.
Hello
I am a newbye with Analysis Services and am desperately trying to find a way to include a calculation between one of my measures (Teus), divided by the vessel capacity, where vessel is one of my dimensions (and is therefore not depended on other dimensions...)
Any ideas how I could implement that ?? This would help a lot, thanks for your help,

I have date and float in attribute in a dimension table. If deploy my cube and I try to create a report with RS, I can't format this data. The value seems to be a String so I have to do a CDate or a CDbl before formating it.
I have no problem when I try to format my measures.
Thanks for your help.
