MDX Script

Hi Experts,
I have a query with MDX Script Logic
The sum of values (ABC) move to total in one region ,like different regions sum of values adding in TOTAL.How to define in MDX script and sgrigate diferent regions
ACCOUNT.Total=ACCOUNT.A,ACCOUNT.B,ACCOUNT.C (CA region) (Logic for CA)
Total=A=BC(CaliforniaNewjersyOhio) (the same logic for different regions)
The INPUT of values goes individual to region and total will come overall,
Regards
Ravi

MDX script editing error generated at each keystroke

I'm having the same issue in VS2012. When I edit an MDX script the error window pops open between each keystroke. I have to copy the script into notepad, edit, then return it to the MDX editor. Very annoying!!!

Actually I get it in the Calculations tab of SSAS 2012 while inside Visual Studio 2012. I can toggle back and forth between script view and form view without error (and the build is clean), but when I start to type anything in form view it pops up the error
window between every single key stroke.
I've looked for options to turn off automatica error checking but don't see anything like that.

Setting default member of attribute hierarchy in MDX script. Default member not taken into account while using user defined hierarchy

Hi all
I have a date dimension that (type time) with attributes
- [FiscalYear] (type years)
- [FiscalMonth] (type months)
- [FiscalWeek] (type weeks)
In addition to the attributes used in the natural hierarchy, I have an attribute [PerType] containing one member comming from the relational table 'WTD' which corresponds to 'Current Date'. All other members of this attribute hierarchy are calculated members (defined in the MDX script). Examples:
--Last year
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Date].[PerType].[LY] AS NULL,
VISIBLE = 1;
SCOPE([Date].[PerType].[LY]);
SCOPE(DESCENDANTS([Date].[Fiscal].[All], [Date].[Fiscal].[Year], SELF_AND_AFTER));
THIS = ([Measures].CurrentMember, [Date].[PerType].[WTD], ParallelPeriod([Date].[Fiscal].[Year], 1));
END SCOPE;
END SCOPE;
--Month to date
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Date].[PerType].[MTD] AS NULL,
VISIBLE = 1;
SCOPE([Date].[PerType].[MTD]);
SCOPE(DESCENDANTS([Date].[Fiscal].[All], [Date].[Fiscal].[Week], SELF_AND_AFTER));
THIS = Aggregate(CrossJoin({[Date].[PerType].[WTD]}, MTD([Date].[Fiscal].CurrentMember)));
END SCOPE;
END SCOPE;
--Year to date
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Date].[PerType].[YTD] AS NULL,
VISIBLE = 1;
SCOPE([Date].[PerType].[YTD]);
SCOPE(DESCENDANTS([Date].[Fiscal].[All], [Date].[Fiscal].[Period], SELF_AND_AFTER));
THIS = Aggregate(CrossJoin({[Date].[PerType].[WTD]}, YTD([Date].[Fiscal].CurrentMember)));
END SCOPE;
END SCOPE;
The defalut member of FiscalWeek attribute hierarchy is set dynamically in the MDX script:
ALTER CUBE CURRENTCUBE UPDATE DIMENSION [Date].[FiscalWeek], DEFAULT_MEMBER =
Filter(
[Date].[FiscalWeek].Members,
[Date].[FiscalWeek].Properties( "FiscalWeekStartDate", TYPED) <= DateAdd("d", -2, CDate(CStr(Month(Now())) + "/" + CStr(Day(Now())) + "/" + CStr(Year(Now()))))
AND
[Date].[FiscalWeek].Properties( "FiscalWeekEndDate", TYPED) >= DateAdd("d", -2, CDate(CStr(Month(Now())) + "/" + CStr(Day(Now())) + "/" + CStr(Year(Now()))))
)(0).PrevMember;
If I run the following query:
with member
measures.x as [Date].[Fiscal].DefaultMember.Name
measures.y as [Date].[FiscalWeek].DefaultMember.Name
select
measures.x,
measures.y
} on axis(0)
from [GLWeekly]
it gives me back correctly the default member set over the MDX script.
I order the statements in the MDX Script so that the default period (week) is set at the beginning of the script (just after the calculate).
I do not understand why creating the following calculated member I am obliged to specify [Date].[Fiscal].CurrentMember in the tuple to have correct results:
MEMBER [Account].[CoA].[Standard Engagement Revenue (MTD)] AS ([Account].[CoA].[Standard Engagement Revenue], [Date].[PerType].[MTD], [Date].[Fiscal].CurrentMember)
I would expect that:
([Account].[CoA].[Standard Engagement Revenue], [Date].[PerType].[MTD])
is sufficient.
If the default week is specified in the slicer using a member of the natural hierachy (=> [Date].[Fiscal].x) it works.
Why can't SSAS use the default member if it is must defined in the MDX script?
Can someone explains me this. Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Ina,
have you thought about adding a dynamic statement inside the MDX script? You could define the default member like this:
... DEFAULT_MEMBER = iif( Day( Now() ) = 3, <expression for previous month>, <expression for current month> );
This way you don't need to change it everytime by running a script.
By the way, what do you mean it doesn't update the default member? When you execute this MDX what does it says?
with member measures.x as [Dimension].[HierarchyName].DefaultMember.Name
select { measures.x } on 0 from Cubename
If this returns the correct name, then the problem is somewhere else. I believe it should return you the correct name. Look here, test this on Adventure Works, statement by statement and see what happens.
ALTER
CUBE [Adventure Works]
UPDATE
DIMENSION [Product].[Product Categories],
DEFAULT_MEMBER = [Product].[Product Categories].[Category].&[1]
with
member measures.x
as [Product].[Product Categories].DefaultMember.Name
select measures.x on 0
from [Adventure Works]
ALTER
CUBE [Adventure Works]
UPDATE
DIMENSION [Product].[Product Categories],
DEFAULT_MEMBER = [Product].[Product Categories].[All Products]
with
member measures.x
as [Product].[Product Categories].DefaultMember.Name
select measures.x on 0
from [Adventure Works]
I think you can see which members are default (on related hierarchies) using
MDX Studio. This should help you detect which attributes have not moved accordingly and hence cause problems in your report. The usual suspects are those attributes used in your last month reports. If that's too much for you, just copy paste the definition
of the measure x and use .CurrentMember instead .DefaultMember. And so for all related hierarchies of your dimension. You can run it as one query, just put enough measures (x1, x2, ...), one for each hierarchy, ok?
Here's a test for Day():
with
member measures.y
as
iif( Day(Now()) = 28, 'Yes', 'No' )
select
measures.y on 0
from [Adventure Works]
Today this returns Yes, tomorrow it will be No.
Ups, I just checked one more thing. When you run the script, it sets the default member only for that session. If you execute the first two of the four statements that I've sent you, it will set the default member on Bikes and show you that.
But, if you open another query windows and execute that select statement (only), you'll see All member instead. So, it has set it to Bikes only for the currect session. Consequence? You reports are not aware of it. So, better use dynamic statement in
your MDX script.

How to extract Member Names in MDX script?

I have a MDX script that by default gives me member aliases. How can I change it so it'd give me member names? I know I can use something like that:
NON EMPTY [Employee].Levels(0).Members DIMENSION PROPERTIES [Employee].[Member_Name]ON AXIS(4)
but then it gives me member aliases AND member names, and I need the names only.
Thanks!

The syntax you have is the way to get the member names, but as I said you wouldn't like the way it is displayed. MDX is not a reporting language and so it does not have the nice formatted selections. You will get both alias and member name by using the properties. you could run the output through some sort of parser (Perl perhaps) to get the format you want

Auto mdx script creation

Hi I am new to MDX and am looking for a quick way to create an MDX scriopt. I have used Visual Explorer to create a report, how do I extract the MDX script?
The reason I need to do this is to create a custom query in OBIEE (10g) that make use of the output from this script.
Thanks.

Hello,
the major disadvantage acc to me is that , there is no independent check on the excise values in the invocie, if there are any errors, or values are incorrect , then the excise invocice nad has to be recreated
if the checks are in place in invoice stage, there should not be a issues
also if the values are fixed , standardised then also it helps to have auto invocie creation
hope this helps
Thanks

MDX Script for Caluclate total year

Hi ,
I need to calculate total year for actual and forecast data in essbae aso cube .Already we have MDX script for calculate actual and forecast .and now we need to calculate total year .
Kindly any one can help me on this .
Script we used :
Case
When CurrentMember ([Years]) is [FY06] Then ([Scenario].[Actual],[Version].[Final])
When CurrentMember ([Years]) is [FY07] Then ([Scenario].[Actual],[Version].[Final])
When CurrentMember ([Years]) is [FY08] Then ([Scenario].[Actual],[Version].[Final])
When CurrentMember ([Years]) is [FY09] Then ([Scenario].[Actual],[Version].[Final])
When (CurrentMember ([Years]) is [FY10] AND CurrentMember ([Period]) is [Jan]) Then ([Scenario].[Actual],[Version].[Final])
When (CurrentMember ([Years]) is [FY10] AND CurrentMember ([Period]) is [Feb]) Then ([Scenario].[Actual],[Version].[Final])
When (CurrentMember ([Years]) is [FY10] AND CurrentMember ([Period]) is [Mar]) Then ([Scenario].[Actual],[Version].[Final])
When (CurrentMember ([Years]) is [FY10] AND CurrentMember ([Period]) is [Apr]) Then ([Scenario].[Actual],[Version].[Final])
When (CurrentMember ([Years]) is [FY10] AND CurrentMember ([Period]) is [May]) Then ([Scenario].[Actual],[Version].[Final])
When (CurrentMember ([Years]) is [FY10] AND CurrentMember ([Period]) is [Jun]) Then ([Scenario].[Actual],[Version].[Final])
When (CurrentMember ([Years]) is [FY10] AND CurrentMember ([Period]) is [Jul]) Then ([Scenario].[Current Forecast],[Version].[Working])
When (CurrentMember ([Years]) is [FY10] AND CurrentMember ([Period]) is [Aug]) Then ([Scenario].[Current Forecast],[Version].[Working])
When (CurrentMember ([Years]) is [FY10] AND CurrentMember ([Period]) is [Sep]) Then ([Scenario].[Current Forecast],[Version].[Working])
When (CurrentMember ([Years]) is [FY10] AND CurrentMember ([Period]) is [Oct]) Then ([Scenario].[Current Forecast],[Version].[Working])
When (CurrentMember ([Years]) is [FY10] AND CurrentMember ([Period]) is [Nov]) Then ([Scenario].[Current Forecast],[Version].[Working])
When (CurrentMember ([Years]) is [FY10] AND CurrentMember ([Period]) is [Dec]) Then ([Scenario].[Current Forecast],[Version].[Working])
When CurrentMember ([Years]) is [FY11] Then ([Scenario].[Current Forecast],[Version].[Working])
When CurrentMember ([Years]) is [FY12] Then ([Scenario].[Current Forecast],[Version].[Working])
Else
Missing
End
In above script Jan to June is actual data and Jul to Dec is forecast data .now we need write MDX script for calculate total years .
We have substitute veritable is Endmost for actual and startMo for forecast .can we use these variables in script?
i am trying below script but i am getting some errors :
case
when (currentmember([Years]) is [FY10]) then
sum(crossjoin{(([Scenario].[Actual]),([Version].[Final])),([jan],[Feb],[Mar],[Apr],[May],[june])}+
sum(crossjoin{(([Scenario].[Current Forecast],[Version].[Working])),([July],[Aug],[Sept],[Oct],[Nov],[Dec]))}
end
is this script is correct and also let me know how we can use substitute veritable in FASO MD scripts.
Thanks,
vi

Yes. That makes sense to craete a calculated member( say FYF) and apllying the logic you have told.
Can see the required result at the total year level.
And it is always better not to change the actulas and forecast cosolidation at the total year level.

Help with MDX script

Hi , I am trying to develop an MDX script to clear data from a region/slice in ASO cube. I have to select only certain projects with a similarity in their name. I could not find any key word for that , So I have added a UDA for those projects and used the UDA keyword to group them. The script is below:
alter database BSC_RPT.BSC_RPT Clear data in CurrentTuple( [Scenario].[Actual], [DataView].[datasource], [Years].[FY11],
[Version].[Current], [Account].[Accountname] ,(Uda ( [Project], "PLN")))
This script gives me an error "Syntax error at 'Current Tuple'. Please suggest me how to proceed with this. It would be of a great help if you can help me resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Ramy

Since the UDA function can return multiple values, you cant use a tuple for this, you would have to crossjoin the set of members of the UDA with the tuple of the other dimensions. You would also not use the currenttuple just the tuple itself
something like 'crossjoin ({( [Scenario].[Actual], [DataView].[datasource], [Years].[FY11], [Version].[Current], [Account].[Accountname]),({Uda ( [Project], "PLN")}))'
Note, I did this offhand the syntax may be a little off ot parens and brackets might be off as well

Didn't you ask this question yesterday?
Calc script to MDX script conversion
As it is ASO, there are no CALC DIM or AGG statements required. You can materialize aggregations, i.e., have Essbase calculate aggregations if you want. The easiest way to do that is through the Aggregation Design Wizard in EAS. You can also define this in MaxL. Alternatively, and I would guess for the initial design process you would likely not materialie any aggregations at all but instead let Essbase calculate the database dynamically (okay, I'm sure I will get a million "You are wrong again, Cameron" comments but I'm just as much of a neophyte as you at ASO and that's what I would do during my coding process -- it does work for checking numbers but may not be fast enough for production use.).
Re clearing the data, see the MaxL alter database clear aggregates/data in aggregates command:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/maxl_altdb_as.html
Sorry I forgot to mension that we are using EPM 11.1.2 in which we can use calc script for only Level 0 blocks. ^^^Not sure what this means.

Date in MDX Script

Hi,
I am trying to write in mdx editor the following query which will give me previous month date.
SELECT
+{(DateRoll(today(),DP_Month,-1),jan)} on COLUMNS+
+from [sample.basic]+
But it gives syntax error. I checked DateRoll function and Today() function in calc script and it was shifting my date to previous month.
Please have a look.
Thanks in advance
Edited by: user10760185 on Jun 21, 2012 12:09 AM

You're mixing Dates and Members. DateRoll function will only work with a 'Date-Time' dimension which is a special type of Time dimension you build with the EAS wizard and only for ASO databases.

Create/ run MDX script on Essbase from FDM

Hi there,
Can anybody help me by creating and executing an MDX query from an import script in FDM?
I've managed to create and run a report script on Essbase but the larger the cube the slower the report script.
Therefore i was thinking about MDX.
But before trying for days myself i was hoping someone might have experience in this and is willing to share.
Thanks in advance,

Hmm, why does the word "Platypus" keep running through my head?
Bob, I'm trying to do the same thing (create a .app to launch a unix application) and I also ran into the aesthetic issue of the spinning gear in the menu bar for the entire time the app was running. Since the unix app I'm running is a Usenet news reader, that spinning gear would be a long-term distraction. I'll check out Platypus, but I and probably the others in this thread are trying to learn how to do this stuff ourselves to further our OS X knowledge, not merely to solve this one problem.
So with that being said, does anyone know if there's a way to create an Automator "Run Shell Script" action with that spinning gear in the menu bar suppressed? You know, besides using Platypus.

Execute MDX script

How execute a .mdx file in batch processing?...equivalent a execution .scr. I am using EAS 7.1.2 and Essbase 7.1.2. Thanks

My first question is what version of Essbase are you on? You say AAS wihich is the System 9 name for EAS. The Allocation scripts only work on version 11.1.2. If you are not on that version, It won't work

MDX Script for adding to column values

Hi Experts,
I am new in ASO MDX, need some help.
I have one ASO out line in which I want to fetch addition of "Sales Tax" and "Income Tax" where as there are some other taxes also in "Total Tax". I want to fetch only the sum of "Sales Tax" AND "Income Tax".
Thanks

IF you have a look at - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/frameset.htm?mdx_sum.html
It gives you an example of how to create a calculated member..
or just use something like
WITH MEMBER [Accounts].[Sales Tax + Income Tax] AS ' [Accounts].[Sales Tax] + [Accounts].[Income Tax]'

Corresponding MDX for calc script function

hi all, I have converted my BSO outline to ASO in 7.1.2.There in BSO oneof the members had formula which used functions like @XRANGE and@MOVSUMnow i need to write the MDX script for the corresponding memberBut i am not able find any function supporting this in MDX. Can somebody can help me out in this? thanks...

@MOVSUM() is probably best replaced by the following MDX for a trailing sum: Sum ( LastPeriods ( (number of time periods here), [Time].CurrentMember ), (account you want to sum, or omit to do across all accounts) ) For a centered sum, you'd say something like: Sum ( LastPeriods ( (number of time periods in range here), [Time].CurrentMember.Lead ( (number of steps ahead to start range) ) ), (account you want to sum, or omit to do across all accounts) ) @XRANGE will have a corresponding TupleRange() function in Essbase 9. But in an ASO database, splitting the time dimension into separate year and period parts isn't generally worth it. Instead, having Month and Quarter levels of an attribute dimension gives users the ability to split them out, while making full use of the time series functions. What specifically are you using @XRANGE to accomplish? Maybe you don't even need the newer TupleRange() function.

How to find out by MDX that the current users is member of a role - Default member issue

Hi,
just imagine you have a dimension with a few members (A, B, C...). I defined a role which gives some users only rights to "B". On the other hand the default member for the dimension is set to "A". Now users part of the role get an error
that the member "A" is not found. So while
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175626.aspx says the default member setting in the role "overrides" the overall default member this is not completely true because first the general default member is selected and after that the role
specific one.
So the solution might be that I explicitly define the default member in all roles. This might be possible but there is one issue: you can't define a role specific default member for users part of the adminstrator role. So all admins don't have a default
member which is quite some restriction for some users...
So the question is how to solve that problem. An idea would be that I use some MDX to determine the default member in the dimension based on the actual user's role membership. But how to do that? Or any better idea?
Thanks,
Thomas Pagel

Hi Thomas,
According to your description, you want to have a role-specific default member for different roles. Right?
In Analysis Services, when granting access to dimension, a connection will fail if a role restricts access to a default measure. As you mentioned, the best solution is specify a default member for each role. But for administrator role(full control),
it can't set the default member. All tabs except General and Membership are disabled. And the system can determines the default member of current user automatically. It's not supported to get the default member in MDX either.
However, SSAS has additive design for role security. So in this scenario, we just need to create another role for those members of administrator role and specify a default member for this role. SSAS will take that role-specific default member
for these users. And it will not effect the administration permission for them.

Default members, MDX Scripts, Security, KPIs and Perspectives
The Additive Design of SSAS Role Security
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
