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.

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?

I have a measure group product price, the measures are
1. Product Id
2. Price
3. Date
I have mapped the product id and date with product and date dimensions.I need to get the latest price of the product.For example:
Prod1, 100, 1/1/2015
Prod1, 300, 2/1/2015
Prod1, 250, 3/1/2015
Prod1, 150, 10/1/2015
So, i need the latest price. The latest price is 150.I new to MDX query. MDX query to achieve this?

I am in a situation to slice a fact in two date dimension .. my <g class="gr_ gr_73 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="73" id="73">sql</g> code is like this
select count(1) from fact_table where end_date >=(selecteddate on filter) and startdate <=end_date .
The common date dimension is Start date. and the filter will be only on <g class="gr_ gr_168 gr-alert gr_gramm Grammar only-ins doubleReplace replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="168" id="168">end</g> date.
Below is the code so far
<g class="gr_ gr_228 gr-alert gr_tiny gr_spell ContextualSpelling multiReplace" data-gr-id="228" id="228">i</g> did, but <g class="gr_ gr_229 gr-alert gr_tiny gr_spell ContextualSpelling

with member [Measures].[X] as
Sum(
{[EndDate].[YQMWD].currentmember:NULL},
([Measures].[Count]))
select [Measures].[X] on 0 ,
[EndDate].[YQMWD].year.members on 1
from Cube
What is the trick I can put so that I can filter those data where start date <=selected end date ....

We have a date dimension which spans till 2099 and there are future projection numbers (under measures). I want to limit the data for Future projections only to 5 years from today by default. Is there a way to do this with in the cube. I understand that this can be done using MDX but since we use excel to view the data from the cube it needs to be controlled with in the cube.

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.

Have a need to let the user select the year and month to use for filtering results from an MDX query that populates a report.I think all I should need is a list of years and a Month name / number.What would the filter look like if say I had a Date dimension that included the year number in a 4-digit and month in a 2-digit number? In TSQL it would be something like ... where Month = @month AND Year = @year...How do I get a distinct list of member values for the month numbers from the Date dimension?

Hey Guys,
I have a cube with a Period Dimension, in which the hierarchy is as follows:
Year
Quarter
Month
Day
Users access the data via a pivot table.
The problem is that whenever a new month comes in, the pivot table doesn't automatically display data regarding the new month. Can someone please help me here.
Thanks,
Surbha

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 ?

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.

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).

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

I have the need to calculate a distinct count over a period of 3 years. I use the MDX
SUM([Year].[Year].CurrentMember.Lag(2):[Year].[Year].CurrentMember,[Measures].[CNT])
Which works fine for all my other calculations except this, where I need a distinct count. CNT is a calculated measure. The browser would look like this:
Category Year1
Year2 ..... MDX what I have now
MDX what I need
A A1
1 1 2 1
A2 1
0 1 1
A3 0
1 1 1
How can I achieve this?

I am trying to create a calculated member for parallel period function using ssas 2012. I have 10 measures for which i need to create parallelperiod.
I can successfully create for 1 measure but when i add multiple values to it it breaks. Below is the sample i tried for multiple measures:
sum(ParallelPeriod([Date].[Calendar].[year],1,[Date].[Calendar].currentmember) ,

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?

I have a database with millions of users with email addresses. I want to create an email domain dimension that groups domains into all the big email domains (hotmail, aol, yahoo) and an "other" consisting of all the other domains. I can create a table with entries for the big domains, and get the grouping working but anything that is not a big domain will get thrown out rather than put into an "other" category.
Any idea how to get such an "other" category?

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.

If I have a dimension with 3 records like this:
BrokerDimId BrokerNm
1 Broker1
2 Broker2
3 Broker3
And I have a fact table that has 2 rows that join back to the first 2 dimension rows like this:
BrokerDimId Amt
1 $100
2 $200
I want to create the mdx so that I get all of the dimension rows, even if there is no record in the fact table for it and just default the amount to 0, like this
BrokerDimId Amt
1 $100
2 $200
3 $0
Is this possible using MDX?

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?

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.
