Hardcoded LOV against SAP BW

Question

Hello,
When using XI 3.1 against SAP BW what is the equivalent of
@Prompt('Rank By (Mandatory, Single)','A',{'MTD','QTD','YTD'},mono,constrained)
That is I want the LOV to display MTD, QTD and YTD.
The above syntax gives me the below error
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query WITH MEMBER [Measures].[3A5C8F88-5138-DF11-A2,11,14,1E,A,CD,0,0] AS ' Net Sales '   MEMBER [Measures].[CE5E8F88-5138-DF11-A2,11,14,1E,A,CD,0,0] AS ' MTD '   SELECT  { [Measures].[3A5C8F88-5138-DF11-A2,11,14,1E,A,CD,0,0], [Measures].[CE5E8F88-5138-DF11-A2,11,14,1E,A,CD,0,0] }  ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( [0SOLD_TO].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, [0SOLD_TO__0INDUSTRY].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [0PLANT].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ) DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, [0PLANT].[10SALES_DIST], [0SOLD_TO].[10INDUSTRY] ON ROWS FROM [ZMCSLSAVP/ZZMCSLSAVP_Q0001]  failed to execute with the error Invalid MDX command with Sales. (WIS 10901)

To clarify
I am trying to use @Prompt('Rank By (Mandatory, Single)','A',{'MTD','QTD','YTD'},mono,constrained) in the select part of the MDX query.
I have a requirement to let the user select MTD, QTD or YTD and then do ranking on a WebI report based on what is selected. This would work in legacy DBs as the SQL would be like
Select column1, 'MTD' from table
Any work arounds in MDX?

AWESOME!!! You da man.
My complete syntax is
<EXPRESSION>
(@Prompt('Rank By (Mandatory, Single)','A:A',{'MTD Net Sales':'[Measures].[AVYY9P5M8DTA6AESXTMP443S6]','QTD Net Sales':'[Measures].[AY3OF147LRJYBGLD5HC7YFQXY]','YTD Net Sales':'[Measures].[B08EKD2SZ5AMGMRXD51QSRE3Q]','MTD Tot Rev':'[Measures].[ACSEXPI9VY58VQRR0W8ZJ7BC6]','QTD Tot Rev':'[Measures].[AEX531GV9BVX0WYB8JYIDIYHY]','YTD Tot Rev':'[Measures].[AH1V8DFGMPML634VG7O17ULNQ]','MTD Cust Markup':'[Measures].[BYC0XOGAX95CRDOWROE49XOO6]','QTD Cust Markup':'[Measures].[C0GR30EWAMW0WJVGZC3N49BTY]','YTD Cust Markup':'[Measures].[C2LH8CDHO0MP1Q216ZT5YKYZQ]','MTD Gross Profit':'[Measures].[BW7ASCHPJVEOM7ICK0OLFM1IE]','QTD Gross Profit':'[Measures].[BPT4CCLXFQ6O6OYNX1K0WN412]','YTD Gross Profit':'[Measures].[BJEXWCQ5BKYNR6EZA2FGDO6JQ]'},mono,primary_key),@Prompt('Dimensions?','A:A',{'Buss Unit':'[0SOLD_TO].currentmember','Historical group':'[ZBUY_GPO].currentmember','Fin Resp':'[ZCFINRESP].currentmember'},mono,primary_key) )
</EXPRESSION>
This is crazy thought for mere mortals like me to remember. Is there a good book or course or something on MDX or how to use it with BO?
Thanks,
