Hi Parry2K,
Based on your information, you get the "The Measures hierarchy already appears in the Axis0 axis." when executing the MDX query. Right?
In Analysis Services, the measures in MDX are metrics value stored in your Fact Tables. Measures are used to analyze performance of the Business. Measure usually contains numeric data, which can be aggregated against usage of associated dimensions. So in
a MDX query, we can't just have one measure on rows and other measure on columns. In your scenario, the calculated member is a measure, so it will throw the error. you can either change a dimension on columns or put both measure on same axis.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
