3                300
4                 500
I need calculated measure to get amount of corresponding last project id for each project
When I use column Project id -> for project id 1 my calc measure shud give me 500
I can not calculate it in DSV.
I need to calculate it with MDX only
I tried taking last project id member value and pass as string to project id member -- but its not working
Can any one please help in writing MDX exp for the same

Hi ,
Please try the below calculated measure
sum(StrToMember(" [Dim Project].[Project ID].&[" + [Dim Project].[Last Project ID].Currentmember.member_caption + "]" ),[Measures].[Amount])

Need help in MDX query

Hi All
I am new to MDX language and need a MDX functions/query on the cube to get the required output, Given below is the scenario with the data.
I am maintaining the data in a table in dataMart with given structure. We have the data at day and weekly in a single table with granularity indicator and count is the measure group column. While loading the data in to mart table we are populaiting the week
Key from week table and Month key from month table and joining in the cube.
we need to calculate the inventory for a particular month. If a user selects a particular month the output would be count = 30 as a measure called Closed and count = 16 as a measure value called Open.
Need a MDX query to get output.

Hi Venkatesh,
According to your description, you need to count the members with conditions in a particular month, right?
In MDX, we can achieve the requirement by using Count and Filter function, I have tested it on AdventureWorks cube, the sample query below is for you reference.
with member [ConditionalCount]
as
count(filter([Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2008]&[2].children,[Measures].[Internet Order Count]>50))
select {[Measures].[Internet Order Count],[ConditionalCount]} on 0,
[Date].[Calendar].[Date].members on 1
from
(select [Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2008]&[2] on 0 from
[Adventure Works]
Reference
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144823.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms146037.aspx
If this is not what you want, please elaborate your requirement, such as the detail structure of your cube, so that we can make further analysis.

Help with MDX Query Result weirdness

Hi,
Feels like I'm posting a question every other day, hope I don't wear out my welcome.
So I have a working query :
with
MEMBER Measures.[EmailCount] as IIF(ISEMPTY([Measures].[Tran Count]), 0 ,[Measures].[Tran Count])
MEMBER Measures.AdvGroupTotal as
SUM (EXISTING ([Dim IFA Details].[Parent Key].[Adviser Group] ,
[Dim Date].[Fiscal].[Fiscal Year].&[FY 13/14]) , Measures.[Amount])
MEMBER [Measures].[Income Range] as
CASE
WHEN Measures.AdvGroupTotal <= 10000 THEN '0-10000'
WHEN Measures.AdvGroupTotal <= 50000 THEN '10001-50000'
WHEN Measures.AdvGroupTotal <= 100000 THEN '50001-100000'
WHEN Measures.AdvGroupTotal <= 200000 THEN '100001-200000'
else '200000-'
end
SELECT { [Measures].[Amount] , Measures.[EmailCount], Measures.AdvGroupTotal, measures.[income range]}
ON COLUMNS,
[Dim IFA Details].[Parent Key].[Adviser Group].Members * [Dim Date].[Fiscal Quarter].children
having Measures.AdvGroupTotal > 100
on rows
FROM [Income and Emails Cube]
where
([Dim Date].[Fiscal].[Fiscal Year].&[FY 13/14]
Great, gives me back what I expect
So now I'm thinking, actually let's lose the Adviser Groups and just have it by Fiscal Quarter and Income Range, dropping that I lose my income range and get this:
I figured its related to Income Range being a measure, so I tried making income range a calculated member of a dimension
with
MEMBER Measures.[EmailCount] as IIF(ISEMPTY([Measures].[Tran Count]), 0 ,[Measures].[Tran Count])
MEMBER Measures.AdvGroupTotal as
SUM (EXISTING ([Dim IFA Details].[Parent Key].[Adviser Group] ,
[Dim Date].[Fiscal].[Fiscal Year].&[FY 13/14]) , Measures.[Amount])
MEMBER [Dim IFA Details].[Parent Key].[Income Range] as
CASE
WHEN Measures.AdvGroupTotal <= 10000 THEN '0-10000'
WHEN Measures.AdvGroupTotal <= 50000 THEN '10001-50000'
WHEN Measures.AdvGroupTotal <= 100000 THEN '50001-100000'
WHEN Measures.AdvGroupTotal <= 200000 THEN '100001-200000'
else '200000-'
end
SELECT { [Measures].[Amount] , Measures.[EmailCount], Measures.AdvGroupTotal}
ON COLUMNS,
( [Dim Date].[Fiscal Quarter].children, [Dim IFA Details].[Parent Key].[Income Range] )
on rows
FROM [Income and Emails Cube]
where
([Dim Date].[Fiscal].[Fiscal Year].&[FY 13/14]
This then came back with some unexpected results:
The amount and email count are now the Income Range and still didnt get the income grouping I want.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for reading.
Regards
Jon

Hi JLJ1976,
According to your description, you have some issue when changing the measure into a dimension member. Right?
In this scenario, the reason why you get the incorrect result set is you make a measure into dimension member. In your query, the Income Range is based on the Measure AdvGroup Total, and the AdvGroup Total value depends on how your dimension slice the cube.
If you slice the cube on date members, you will get a much smaller AdvGroup Total value. So the Measure XXX return dynamic values because it always based on dimension slicer. For dimension members, they should be static values appear on axis to slice the cube
data on a data. So you should make the Income Range into a calculated measure because it's based on a Quarter sliced Measure. Otherwise, it will return null value (in your query, it's the else part result) because you are measuring a measure.
For more explanation about dimensions and Measures, please refer to links below:

Help rerading the MDX query

Hi Gurus, I am at a learning stage to learn the MDX query.Could anyone help me with some link or book from where i can getthe syntax of some function with examples to understandthem. thanks 

2 good books are MDX Solutions Second Edition, by George Spofford. This is a very good book, in depth, with a lot of material. George Spofford is also a regular contributor to this site, so if you have questions about any of the material, you could post here and he has proven to be very good about responding to questions. Another good book is Fast Track to MDX. This is also a good book. It's a quicker read and a little easier to get through then MDX Solutions, but the concepts are more fundamental and not as in depth, I think both books are worth reading. Other than that, there is a lot of material on this site, tech guides, white papers, etc that should be useful too. HTH

MDX query..need help

Hi experts..
I have written a MDX query as follows:
alter session set dml_output alias off ;
spool stdout on to 'C:\ACCT_110711.TXT';
SELECT {} ON AXIS(0), {[Year].Members} ON AXIS(1) FROM [CUBE];
spool off;
This is generating a txt file with the whole output - including the query I put and the "Statement executed successfully" message.
What do I have to do to get just the output in a file. Is it possible in Essbas..or do I have to manipulate the file using unix or something after the generation.

The output from spooling to a file using Maxl is not the best, MDX is not really the equivalent of report scripts.
You could look at parsing the file after it is generated, or maybe look at perl or an API or ODI or report scripts to generate it in a cleaner format.
Cheers

Filters not getting passed in MDX query while using SAP BW with OBIEE

Hello,
I've been working on OBIEE with SAP BW as back-end. I've created some reports & those are working fine when there is less amount of data. But when I try to run a report with 3 dimensions & 1 fact it throws an error saying "No more storage space available for extending an internal table". When I checked MDX query, I found that the filters that I had applied to request & also selected from prompts are not getting passed in that query. So, I tried running a simple request using a simple filter in Answers. Although this request returns results but I can't see filter conditions in query. MDX query always show crossjoin but I can't see filter conditions anywhere.
Is it the normal OBIEE behaviour OR am I doing something wrong in there? Can you please help me out with this?
Thanks,
Rocky

Hello Sainath,
We tried those things. But it is still giving same error.
State: HY00. Code: 10058. [NQODBC][SQL_STATE:HY000][nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. XML/A error returned from the server: Fault code: "XMLAnalysisError.0X80000005". Fault string: "The XML for Analysis provider encountered an error: MDX result contains too many cells (more than 1 million)". (HY000)
The problem here, I think, is the filter parameters are not getting passed in the MDX query. Any idea why would that happen? Is there any setting to do so?
Thanks in advance for help.
Regards,
Rocky

Bw publish and connections not based on the sap bw mdx query driver

Dear experts,
we are currently facing a problem with transporting reports that are based on multiple database connections and joined using the cross database join feature of crystal reports. One connection is based on the SAP BW MDX driver, the other is based on a SAP functionmodule.
Now when transporting the reports with STMS and publishing them via /crystal/rptadmin and bwpublish only the bex mdx query connection gets updated. The other connection is still pointing to the original location.
e.g.
transporting
DEV -> PROD
function module still pointing on dev server.
As we need to use the sap default transport system in order to get all features (no SP4 yet) and we can not change the reports manually in the PROD system before publishnig and don't want to mix in the LCM we have no idea how get a work around for this problem.
Changing the database connection via CMC on the PROD system has no effect either.
Please help.
Thank you very much!
Thorsten

Hello Thorsten,
What you observe is "By Design" of the product. The dynamic update is supported only for reports using the BW MDX driver (or historically for those using the deprecated BW query driver). Other SAP drivers such as the OpenSQL driver which you use to connect to the function module do not leverage the same features when using the SAP Transport process.
You may report directly against your target system when connecting to Function Modules.
thanks,
Akin

Hi Prajapati,
In your scenario, you can use Properties and Datediff function to achieve your requirement. Since not know the structure of your cube, we cannot give you the esact query.
I have tested it on the AdventureWorks cube, the query below is for you reference.
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[StartDate]
AS
[Employee].[Employee Department].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES('Start Date')
MEMBER [Measures].[WorkYear]
AS
DATEDIFF('yyyy',[Measures].[StartDate],NOW())
MEMBER [Measures].[Status]
AS
IIF(DATEDIFF('yyyy',[Measures].[StartDate],NOW())>10,1,0)
SELECT {[Measures].[StartDate],[Measures].[WorkYear],[Measures].[Status]} ON 0,
[Employee].[Employee Department].[Employee].MEMBERS ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works]

SSRS report with tabular model – MDX query how to get the sum and count of measure and dimension respectively.

Hello everyone,
I am using the following MDX query on one of my SSRS report.
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Days Outstanding], [Measures].[Amt] } ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY { ([Customer].[Customer].[Customer Key].ALLMEMBERS) }
HAVING [Measures].[ Days Outstanding] > 60
DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS
FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@Location, CONSTRAINED)) ON COLUMNS
FROM ( SELECT ( {[Date].[Fiscal Period].&[2014-06]}) ON COLUMNS
FROM [Model]))
Over here, the data is being filtered always for current month and for a location that is being selected by user from a report selection parameter.
I would like to get the count of total no. of customers and sum of the amount measure.
When I am using them in calculated members it gives incorrect values. It considers all records (ignores the sub-select statements) instead of only the records of current month and selected location.
I also tried with EXISTING keyword in calculated members but there is not difference in output. Finally, I manage the same at SSRS level.
Can anybody please advise what are the ways to get the required sum of [Measures].[Amt] and count of [Customer].[Customer].[Customer Key].ALLMEMBERS dimension?
Also, does it make any difference if I manage it as SSRS level and not at MDX query level?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Can anybody please advise what are the ways to get the required sum of [Measures].[Amt] and count of [Customer].[Customer].[Customer Key].ALLMEMBERS dimension?
Also, does it make any difference if I manage it as SSRS level and not at MDX query level?
Hi Ankit,
We can use SUM function and COUNT function to sum of [Measures].[Amt] and count of [Customer].[Customer].[Customer Key].ALLMEMBERS dimension. Here is a sample query for you reference.
WITH MEMBER [measures].[SumValue] AS
SUM([Customer].[Customer].ALLMEMBERS,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])
MEMBER [measures].[CountValue] AS
COUNT([Customer].[Customer].ALLMEMBERS)
MEMBER [Measures].[DimensionName] AS [Customer].NAME
SELECT {[Measures].[DimensionName],[measures].[SumValue],[measures].[CountValue]} ON 0
FROM [Adventure Works]
Besides, you ask that does it make any difference if I manage it as SSRS level and not at MDX query level. I don't thinks it will make much difference. The total time to generate a reporting server report (RDL) can be divided into 3 elements:Time to retrieve
the data (TimeDataRetrieval);Time to process the report (TimeProcessing);Time to render the report (TimeRendering). If you manage it on MDX query level, then the TimeDataRetrieval might a little longer. If you manage it on report level, then the TimeProcessing
or TimeRendering time might a little longer. You can test it on you report with following query:
SELECT Itempath, TimeStart,TimeDataRetrieval + TimeProcessing + TimeRendering as [total time],
TimeDataRetrieval, TimeProcessing, TimeRendering, ByteCount, [RowCount],Source
FROM ExecutionLog3
WHERE itempath like '%reportname'

SSAS Tabular : MDX query goes OutOfMemory for a larger dataset

Hello all,
I am using SSAS 2012 Tabular to build the cube to support the organizational reporting requirements. Right now the server is Windows 2008 x64 with 16GB of Ram installed. I have the following MDX query. What this query does is get the member caption of the
“OrderGroupNumber” non-key attribute as a measure where order group numbers pertain to a specific day and which occurs in specific seconds of a day. As I want to find in which second I have order group numbers, I cross the time dimension’s members with a specific
day and filter the tuples using the transaction count. The transaction count is a non-zero value if an Order Group Number occurs within a specific second of a selected day.
At present “TransactionsInflight].[OrderGroupNumber].[OrderGroupNumber]” has 170+ million members (Potentially this could grow rapidly) and time dimension has 86400 members.
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[OrderGroupNumber]
AS IIF([Measures].[Transaction Count] > 0, [TransactionsInflight].[OrderGroupNumber].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION,
NULL)
SELECT
NON EMPTY{[TransactionsInflight].[OrderGroupNumber].[OrderGroupNumber].MEMBERS}
ON COLUMNS,
{FILTER(([Date].[Calendar Hierarchy].[Date].&[2012-07-05T00:00:00], [Time].[Time].[Time].MEMBERS),
[Measures].[Transaction Count] > 0) } ON
ROWS
FROM [OrgDataCube]
WHERE [Measures].[OrderGroupNumber]
After I run this query it reaches to a dead-end and freezes the server (Sometimes SSAS server throws OutOfMemory exception but sometimes it does not). Even though I have 16GB of memory it uses all the memory and doing nothing. I have to do a hard-reset against
the server to get the server online. Even I limit the time members using the “:” range operator still the machine freeze. I have run out of solutions to fine-tune the design. Could you guys provide me some guidelines to optimize this query? I am willing to
do a design change if it is necessary.
Thanks and best regards,
Chandima

Hi Greg,
Finally I found the problem why the query goes out of memory in tabular mode. I guess this information will helpful for others and I am posting my findings.
Some of the non-key attribute columns in the tabular model tables (mainly the tables which form dimensions) do not contain pretty names. So for the non-key attribute columns which I need to provide pretty names I renamed the columns to something else.
For an example, in my date dimension there is a non-key attribute named “DateAltKey”. This is the date column which I am using. As this is not pretty to the client tools I renamed this column as “Date” inside the designer (Dimension
design screen). I deployed the cube, processed the cube and no problem.
Now here comes the fun part. For every table, inside the Tables node (Tabular SSAS Database > Tables) you can view the partition details. You have single partition per dimension table if you do not create extra partitions. I opened the partitions screen
and clicked on the “Edit” icon and performed a Syntax Check. Surprisingly it failed. It complains about the renamed column. It complained “Date” cannot be found in source. So I realized that I cannot simply rename the columns like that.
After that I created calculated columns (with a pretty name) for all the columns which complained and all the source columns to the calculated columns were hid from the client tools. I deployed the cube, processed the cube and performed a
syntax check. No errors and everything were perfect.
I ran the query which gave me trouble and guess what... it executed within 5 seconds. My problem is solved. I really do not know who did this improve the performance but the trick worked for me.
Thanks a lot for your support.

How can ew add filter in Dataset of MDX Query

Hi,
I am working on TFS 2010 Report with Report Builder 3.0
I need to fetch data on basis of Start Task Date(means when user start their task).
So i have added a new field in a TFS Work Item Template with name StartTaskDate.
Now i need to fetch the report FromTaskDate to TOTaskDate(Date Range Filter).
so how can we do this with filter option?
Can any body help me on this.
Thanks

Hi rohitnegi09,
If you want @FromTaskDate and @TOTaskDate parameters are Date/Time data types, please refer to my last reply in the following thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/db75abb9-2250-463a-8ef3-70426f617329/mdx-report-on-date-range?forum=sqlreportingservices
If you want @FromTaskDate and @TOTaskDate parameters are Text data types, we can directly type the following MDX query in the dataset:
select
{[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
} on columns,
{[Date].[Date].members} on rows
from(
select
STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Date].&["+@FromTaskDate+"]"):STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Date].&["+@ToTaskDate+"]")
) on columns
from [Adventure Works]
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

I want to filter my cube with three parameters
1. @CacheAttendeesConferenceId
2. @FromCacheAttendeesInsertTimeStamp
3. @ToCacheAttendeesInsertTimeStamp
When i pass following parameters
ConferenceId = 1, StartDate='2010-01-28T00:00:00', EndDate='2010-02-03T00:00:00'
Then it show records
But When i pass following parameters
ConferenceId = 1, StartDate='2010-01-27T00:00:00', EndDate='2010-02-03T00:00:00'
Then it display message No Data Available
PLease help me on this issue why not FromDate & ToDate range works properly.

Step1:- First i create a SSAS datasource. Then i create a cube for my table CacheAttendees.
It has following columns:-
[Cache Attendees].[Conference Id]
[Cache Attendees].[Group Date Count]
[Cache Attendees].[Insert Time Stamp]
[Cache Attendees].[Screen Name]
[Cache Attendees].[User Id]
[Cache Attendees].[User Type Id]
[Cache Attendees].[User Type Name]
[Cache Attendees].[Visit Id]
Step2:- Then i create a dimension with this cube with all columns.
Step3:- Then i deploy my SSAS project.
Step4:- Use SSAS datasource in my SSRS datasource.
Step5:- Create a report with chart control. Add a parameter ConferenceId. Set default to 1. When i preview my report then it show Cache Attendees].[Conference Id].[1] in header of report instead of that, When i pass the parameter value as 1 then report cannot show & throw an error. I want to pass this parameter at runtime.
Step6:- Please help me how is it possible to pass parameter at runtime.

Except function with parent child hierarchy using mdx query

HI,
I need to remove some items using mdx query in parent child hierarchy.
I tried with below query,it is not removeing ,could you please help me.
SELECT
{[Measures].[Amount]} ON
COLUMNS
NonEmpty([Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 01],[Measures].[Amount])
ON ROWS
FROM (SELECT
-Descendants({[Account].[Accounts].&[47]},,Leaves)
} ON COLUMNS
FROM [Adventure Works])
indu

Hi Indu,
Why do you remove some itmes using
Descendants function? Generally, we use FILTER function to achieve the requirement.
WITH SET [CustomAccounts] AS
FILTER ([Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 01].Members , [Account].[Accounts].CurrentMember.Name<>'Net Income')
SELECT {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} ON 0
[CustomAccounts] ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works]
WITH SET [CustomAccounts] AS
FILTER ([Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 01].Members , [Account].[Accounts].CurrentMember.Name='Net Income')
SET [RemainingAccount] AS
[Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 01]- [CustomAccounts]
SELECT {[Measures].[Reseller Sales Amount]} ON 0
[RemainingAccount] ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works]
Results.

MDX query for parent-child combination display

Hi guys..
I am really new to the Essbase technology.
Could you please help me out with this one:
is it possible to extract the data(for example the metadata of a outline)..eg:-
The outline structure is as follows :
A1
A11
A12
A2
A21
A22
I want a MDX query to display it as :
A1 A11
A1 A12
A2 A21
A2 A22
I have tried various ways but couldnt come up with a query for this.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Unfortunately MDX cannot do this. If you think about what you are asking for, you are essentially saying that you want to see members of the same dimension on different axis. Multi-dimensional queries can't do that (think about trying to do it with addin).
A further limiation is that MDX is not robust enough to allow you to work the results into a single axis using a concatenation function because while there is a string-to-member function, there is no member-to-string function and concat requires a string as input.
Other approaches would require MDX to support joins or subqueries, which it does not.
As others have mentioned, to do what you want to do, you need outline extractor or something like that.
*Fun fact - if you have OBIEE 11g, it can do reporting in Essbase with hierarchy members in hierarchy format or column format, which will give you the results you need. That alone is good reason to start using OBIEE.
