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.

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 ?

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).

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) ,
([Measures].[Revenue],[Measures].[Expenses]))

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 been following the tutorial/blog post HERE to create an annualization (or "run rate") of my Gross Amount measure. What I want to do now is exclude any period that is not "complete".
For example, if today is 9/9 then Q3 is not complete - only Q1 and Q2 are complete. And if I'm looking at it monthly then January through August are complete, but September is not.
Cells B5 and D5 look exactly as I expect and want them to be. On row 6 below under each "Gross Annualized" value I have basically just put the formula for what it's actually doing.
What I would like to see in the blue cell is $67,211,697,268 - essentially the most recent annualization for a completed period. The annualization for Q3 is misleading because the quarter has not yet completed. There's $16b in Q1 and $17b in Q2, so the measly $78m in Q3 (yellow cell) is dragging the annualization down significantly. Even worse, the Gross Amount for Q4 is being treated as a $0.00, which is further dragging down the "2015 Gross Annualized" amount in blue. In a T-SQL average calculation, for example, I think the green cell would be treated as NULL rather than $0. That's kind of the behavior I want.
So I would like to do two things:
Create a calculation (probably just a 0 or 1 flag) that indicates whether the current period is complete or not. Again, using 9/9/2015 as an example, Q2 would be complete but Q3 would not be. And August would be complete, but September would not. Make the blue cell show $67,211,697,268 - an annualization based on completed quarters only.
For whatever it's worth here is the current calculation for Gross Annualized.
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Gross YTD]
AS AGGREGATE(
YTD([Pay Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember)
,[Measures].[Gross Amount]),
FORMAT_STRING = "Currency",
VISIBLE = 0;
[Code] .....

I have created calcalated measures in a SQL Server 2012 SSAS multi dimensional model by creating empty measures in the cube and use scope statements to fill the calculation.
(so I can use measure security on calculations
as explained here )
SCOPE [Measures].[C];
THIS = IIF([B]=0,0,[Measures].[A]/[Measures].[B]);

Hi,
I'm new to Reporting Services, and I have to make a sort of timesheet-report out of a sharepoint list.
The sharepoint list works great, employees give in their start, stop and lunch times, and the project they are working for.
Now, on my report, everything looks great, except, I can not get the grand total of the worked hours.
I think I need some function in my totalHours field, but I don't know how to write this.
So I am looking for someone to help me write this, and I am willing to pay for it.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance, Natascha

I need to calculate total discount on item in case when user has several discounts, and they each apply on discounted amount. I thought to have something like:
DECLARE @Disc float
SET @Disc = 0
SELECT @Disc = @Disc + (100 - @Disc) * Disc / 100
FROM UserDiscounts
WHERE UserID = 123
but, seems, it does not work.
Looking for single query without any loops?

I am creating an SSIS Script Task that will be used to process SSAS dimensions and partitions and ideally log the details of each in a table. Any info on the benefits or drawbacks of using the built-in SSAS parallel processing as opposed to doing it manually in a multi-threaded "Parallel.Foreach" loop using the .NET AMO library.
In my testing, when I use a Parallel.foreach loop, I am able to obtain and log information about the object such as end time and time to process immediately after each object is processed. This allows me to keep a history of processing time for each object:
public void processDimensions(Server Server, Database Database, ProcessType processType)
{
Parallel.ForEach(Database.Dimensions.OfType<Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Dimension>(), d =>
{
DateTime beginTime = DateTime.Now;
try
{
d.Process(processType);
[code]....
If circumventing the built-in SSAS parallel processing is not best practice I'd like to know in advance before I go too far down that path.

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?

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 a set of data and calculated already the average of a specific measure, incl. the Standarddeviation of this measure. Now I want to create a average measure of the values on row level which arehigher than [Avg]-[StdDev] AND lower of [Avg]+[StDev].As far as I understand I have to check on Rowlevel, which means on Date and Brand Level, if the value of the measure is above or lower than the Mean +/- StdDev.
SUM( FILTER( {[Dim 1].[Attribue].&[selected]},[Measures].[Fact Survey Count] > [Measures].[Mean + 0,5 StDev] AND [Measures].[Fact Survey Count] < [Measures].[Mean - 0,5 StDev] ),[Measures].[Fact Survey Count])
which leads to a wrong result. This one counts all rows if true.With Descendants I got a #Value-Error, probably because I did not understand how the calculations work. I planned to include this in a IIF calculation.
SUM( Descendants(
{[Dim 1].[Attribute].&[selected],
[Dim Date].[Date].[Date].CURRENTMEMBER}, Leaves), [Measures].[Fact Survey Count])

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'm trying to calculate the average number of sick days per person so that it can be broken down by person role or department or some other dimension. I have a calculation for sick days that works ok and is [measures].[sick days.I'm trying to create another calculation that is [total staff] but it doesn't work.
My final calculation will be [avg sick days] = [measures].[sick days] / [measures].[total staff]
The bit I can't get to work is making it ignore any filters. For example I have a measure called [staff] and as you would expect it can be broken down by [person].[role] or [department].[department].
I'm trying to get [total staff] to return the total when it's used with [person] or [department]. I've managed to get it to work with [person] by using ROOT([Person]) but then I will need to do this for all different hierarchies that will use it.

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 have a calculation that granularity is on a specific level and therefore would like the calculation to be only visible/calculate when with a specific dimension structure & attributes
SCOPE([Measures].[Complaint Rate]);
SCOPE([Item Dimension].[Item Structure].Members);
this=(IIF([Measures].[Sales Units]=0,NULL,(([Measures].[Count]/[Measures].[Sales Units])*1000000)));
END SCOPE;
END SCOPE;
This displays the calculation all the time even if no item attributes are selected, I only want the calculation applicable to the structure & attributes belonging to structure - I tried children, currentmember etc. but no luck - its probably something small I am missing. Tried this too
this=(IIF([Measures].[Sales Units]=0,NULL,(([Item Dimension].[Item Structure].CURRENTMEMBER,[Measures].[Count]/[Item Dimension].[Item Structure].CURRENTMEMBER,[Measures].[Sales Units])*1000000)));

Trying to get the values in the second column to only include aging accounts 6 months prior instead of 12 months prior.

SCOPE([Billing Date].[SalesCalendar].MEMBERS);
( [Aggregate].[AGGREGATE CODE].[YTD] )

I am trying to get a list of years from a Date dimension that includes a limited number of values. I want the current year and the previous 5 years. The year number in the cube is actually a char(4) value so I will have to cast that.
Also I want to alias the field, since Im using this list to use as a parameter in an SSRS report.
The MDX I have at the moment is this:<br/>
WITH
MEMBER [SALESYEAR] AS
CInt([DimCalendar].[Year].CURRENTMEMBER)
SELECT
NULL ON COLUMNS,FILTER(
[DimCalendar].[Year].MEMBERS , [SALESYEAR] > 2012) ON ROWS
FROM [MySalescube]
The above returns empty, but I also need to define an expression that is the current year - 5 years

At the 2nd level, the calculated measure will only be correct if it is Averaged. And at the 1st level, the calculated measure will only be correct to take these Average value from 2nd level and Sum then up together.
Level 1 Level 2
A
X1
X2
=================
(Avg of X1 + X2)
B
Y1
Y2
Y3
=================
(Avg of Y1 + Y2 + Y3)
===================================================
(Sum of (Avg of X1 + X2) + (Avg of Y1 + Y2 + Y3) )
Currently, Instead of summing all the 3 averaged value, it is averaging against all the items like,
(Avg of X1 + X2 + Y1 + Y2 + Y3)
My MDX currently looks something like that
[Measure].[Value] / [Dimension].[Attribute.count] -> so i can get the avarage at the 2nd level but it doesn't require on the 1st level but retaining this value.
How can i do an average on the leaf level and using these average values to sum at parent level?

where
[Case - Date - PSPT Entry].[Current Month].&[True]
When I run the following, I'm getting a list of the days in the current month *plus the first couple days of the next month*. with

I'm trying to create a percentile rank function based on the standard WIKI version:
I've seen Brian Knight's article here, but that only deals with percentile.
Where I'm struggling is getting the count of members in a set using a measure, in the current context on the same hierarchy, as the filter expression. I'm using the comparative set as in belonging to the same geographical location, and therefore associating by another attribute.
So, cl as below:
MEMBER [Measures].[RegionPercentileCount] AS
Count(
Filter(
NonEmpty(
descendants(Ancestor(
[Supplier].[NameMap].CurrentMember,
[Supplier].[NameMap].[Region]),
[Supplier].[NameMap].[Supplier Id]),
[Measures].[ActiveMeasure])
, [Measures].[ActiveMeasure] <
([Supplier].[NameMap].CurrentMember,
[Measures].[ActiveMeasure])))
Using the same measure and context hierarchy is always going to be equal, and therefore the count is always zero. Its almost as if I need a nested context for the FILTER which allows me to use enumerate the set on the same hierarchy whilst maintaining the external reference.
I'm thinking that perhaps I'm going to have to create another hierarchy and use that as the filter set and reference through StrToMember or similar.

I have an existing MDX query returning the correct resultset. However, I want to add a filter so that for a combination of value in Hierarchy1 and Hierarchy2, the data is filtered out.
For example I have data like
H1 H2 Amount
1 1 100
2 1 50
3 1 45
I am getting a value of 100+50+45=195.
I want to filter the data for the combination H1=3 and H2=1. Expected result would be 100...
H1 H2 Amount
1 1 100

I have been living in the T-SQL world for years, and am working on my first Tabular model.
I have a fact table that I would like to use for many reports. My idea is that I would use Perspectives in the tabular model to pull in the columns that I need for each purpose. In some cases, I also need to filter out some rows. Is there a way to filter perspectives? The only solution I am coming up with is to create views in SQL Server and import the fact table multiple times for each purpose. That doesn't seem very efficient.
