BW OLAP universe object with Aggregate

Question

How to create an BW OLAP universe object with Aggregate to a higher level than the underlying query?
The objective is to synchronize 2 queries by Contract Agreement quantity range and part of the calculation is to obtain the contract total quantity in one of the queries that is by Year and Month. For that query I need the total quantity for the contract.
Example;
Contract #    Year    Month     Qty
1             2011    1         230     
6             2011    2          50
14            2011    3         124
u2026
25            2011   12          87
                 Total Qty --> ?
The following syntax gives the total quantity by contract / Year / Month, not the overall contract quantity. I could not find any MDX reference to use to solve this.
The dimension is [0SALESDEAL].[LEVEL01]
<EXPRESSION> AGGREGATE({[0SALESDEAL].CurrentMember:[0SALESDEAL].CurrentMember},[Measures].[DBKTD232QCONV8CVZYB17B5P0]) </EXPRESSION>
Thanks,
Marco

Answer 1

Hi Andrew,
Looking at your statement I get the feeling you want this as a dimension/characteristic.
Since an expression has to be numeric and a characteristic in BW cannot be numeric, this will not work.
Only measures/keyfigures are possible.
The direction from SAP is to push any modeling to the BW query or even BW itself.
Hope this helps,
