How to calculate key figure before aggregation for complex formular?

Question

Hi, buddies
<b>Here's the simplified senario</b>:
I have a cube, in which the characteristics are 'Calendar Day' and 'Hour' (values are 01~24), and the key figures are stored by day and by hour.
What I need is very simple, a query to display calculated key figures only by Calendar Day. I don't need Hour information.
So I create a query: column charact is Calendar Day, rows are several calculated key figures.
<b>Now the problem is that</b>:
if I don't put 'Hour' as row in the query, I'll get WRONG result. But if I put 'Hour' as row in the query, I'll get CORRECT result, but all the 'Hour' details will display, which should be hided.
<b>I know the reason is that</b>:
the calculated key figure that I create should be calucated before aggregation, not after. But since the formular is pretty complex, I can't change the 'Time of Aggregation Calculation' in key figure's property. (It's greyed out.) So I have to put 'Hour' as row in the query to force calcuation 'before aggregation' in query and set the property 'Calculate Result As...' as 'Summary'.
<b>My question</b> is:
whether there's any other way to force calcuation 'before aggregation', so I don't have to put 'Hour' in the query.
If no, is there a simple way to hide the 'Hour' details and only display summary result ON THE QUERY LEVEL? (
<i>I can hide detail lines by using web template, or maybe using VB in excel. But I can't use either of them. I want to hide the details on the QUERY LEVEL. So I can use the query directly in any other reporting tools, like Visual Composer.</i>)
Any idea?

Hi, Sudeepta
Thanks for your reply.
I did try to set 'No display' for 'Hour'. The result is that the Characteristics 'Hour' doesn't appear on the query result, but the detailed line of key figures still display on the result. It looks like the followings: (I put summaries on the top/right)
Date  1/1  1/2  Overall result
KPI1    10        11   22  (sum line)
KPI2    20        21   41  (sum line)
KPI1    12        13   25  (detailed line)
KPI2    13        13   26  (detailed line)
KPI1    11        12   23  (detailed line)
KPI2    12        12   24  (detailed line)
I want to suppress all the detailed lines and leave sum lines on the result.
