Creating buckets by comparing Dimension member against Measure using MDX

Question

I have a Product dimension which has hierarchies - product_id, initial_price, product_name, category and Measures - units_sold, cost_per_unit, revenue_per_unit. For each product_id I need to compare initial_price against revenue_per_unit and then assign it
to a bucket based on the comparison. 
Consider the following example:
Input:
product_id   initial_price revenue_per_unit
1               10  
           12
2               20  
           18
3               30  
           35
And if Product 1, 2 are in Category Book and 3 in Clothes then output should look like
Output:
Category  revenue type        Amount
Book               Profit                
 2
                      Loss            
       2
Clothes           Profit                   5
                      Loss                     0
How can I achieve this using MDX?

Answer 1

Hi Vijay,
In your case, I couldn't found the "revenue type" attribute in the "Product" dimension. If you need to get the expected result, I suggest you calculate the amount at underlying data souce, and then retrieve the result set via MDX.
