** How to simulate the conditional statements in web analysis

Question

i have an "average" member in the Measures dimension on ASO application.
i wrote a MDX formulae to it as IIF(A=0 OR A=MISSING), B/12, A/12
In the web analysis when i view the data at level-0 it will display correct value but when i apply filters on other dimensions the value is increasing, i have ~ consolidation operator applied to the average member and i have the measures dimension as dynamica hierachy and its an accounts dim.
"As per the Average member it should take the average but the average is gettting doubled when we apply filters"
so i have tried to apply a average formulale in web analysis rather than in essbase, when i apply filters also it is working fine but when the A value is 0 i am getting 0 value but as per the requirement it should be B/12
so please guide me does can i use any coniditional statements in web analysis?
if not when i drill up how does my essbase gives the correct result instead of consolidating.
Any Thoughts or suggestings that would be really greatfull..

Answer 1

How could it not be 5A?. If you have A for each member and then you select 5 members you are going to get 5A. If you don't want 5A then what do you want the Avg of A across the 5 members?
The tools are working the way they are designed to, your requirement is a little out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, Web Analysis does not have conditional logic.
Try taking my previous suggestion and adding another member in Essbase called "Count", make it dynamic calc and the formula should be ' 1; '
The purpose here is to get a value of one in the count member for each member you are going to select in your filter. So, if you select five members in the filter, Web Analysis will now return 5A and it will return the result of "Count" which will be 5. Create a calculated member that divides the 5A value by the count value 5. That will give you the average A for the 5 members, then you can divide by 12.
