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/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.

SLOW MDX Query in an Environment but Fast in another

A query runs slow in one environment but fast another : here's what I looked for so far without any luck.
It takes 2 seconds to execute the query below in QA vs 20 seconds in prod.
QA cube size is 430.81 MB - 474.54 MB on PROD
Cubes match in environments
Compared QA and PROD properties and they match (database and server Analysis services)
Restarted services on both machines
Looking at SQL server provider seems that the query has no significant effect on the CPU
Seems there's a spike in pages/sec when the MDX query runs – the VM size is slightly > in PROD than in QA this shouldn’t affect it .Looked at the Storage Engine queries ,MDX counters and Nothing stands out
here's the query
SELECT NON EMPTY
CrossJoin(CrossJoin(Hierarchize(AddCalculatedMembers({DrilldownLevel({[Sector].[Sector].[All]})})),
Hierarchize(AddCalculatedMembers({DrilldownLevel({[Security].[Sec Type].[All]})}))),
Hierarchize(AddCalculatedMembers({DrilldownLevel({[Broker].[Broker].[All]})})))
DIMENSION PROPERTIES PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME,[Sector].[Sector].[Sector],[Broker].[Broker].[Broker],[Broker].[Broker].[Company Code]
ON COLUMNS
FROM [TradeAndCommission]
WHERE ([Measures].[Broker Par Pct]) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, LANGUAGE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FONT_FLAGS

Using MDX query in RPD

I have a MDX query that I want to use in the RPD as "Table Type" =Select
I did create a new object as "Physical Dimension" and gave the below script as Essbase 11 specific SQL, but this does not work and an getting the generic error "[nQSError: 15002] Missing navigation space for subject area test. (HY000)". Any Idea as to how to use the MDX in RPD?

Hi BIGUY,
Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) is the query language that you use to work with and retrieve multidimensional data in Microsoft Analysis Services. MDX is based on the XML for Analysis (XMLA) specification, with specific extensions for SQL Server Analysis
Services.
According to your description, it's hard to give your the exact MDX query to pull the data which you want from the cube since there are no any detail information about the cube. Here are some basic knowledge for your reference.

Converting MDX query into SQL Server 2008

We have MDX query based OLAP CUbes.
To reduce MDX based dependenies, we have to convert MDX based cube to sql server 2008 based queries.
For this I need expert advise to convert below query to sql server 2008 based query :
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.Measures.[Ack Lost]
                    AS 'Sum(PeriodsToDate([Time].[Year], [Time].CurrentMember ), [Measures].[Lost])',
                    FORMAT_STRING = "#,#",
                    VISIBLE = 1;

Hi Sachin,
According to your description, you need to convert the MDX query to T-SQL query, right?
Your MDX query is calculated measure that return the total value from the first sibling and ending with the given member. In T-SQL query we can use the query as Yogisha provided to achieve the same requirement. Now you need to a tool to convert all the MDX
related SSAS cube queries to MS SQL Server 2008 based queries.
Although MDX has some similarities with T-SQL these languages are in many ways different. Beginning to learn and comprehend SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) MDX queries can be difficult after one has spent years writing queries in T-SQL. Currently, there
is no such a tool to convert a MDX query to T-SQL query since the structure difference between MDX and T-SQL. So you need to convert them manually, please refer to the links below to see the details.

Excel Generating MDX Query With Crossjoins

Hi All,
I am having performance issues while using excel to browse SSAS cube.
I ran the pro filer and captured the MDX queries and query which excel has auto generated has lot of cross joins
All i am doing is selecting 3 attributes in a dimension and i can't understand why excel is choosing to use cross joins
Can any one please give me some options on how to make excel not use cross joins ?

Hi Satish,
According to your description, you find Excel using a lot of CROSSJOIN when driving data from cube. It caused bad performance and you want to avoid it. Right?
This is a known issue in Excel, it uses a certain template to build the cross join. It uses DrillDown.... functions for complex user filter selection when doing drill down. It's the default behavior of Excel and it hasn't been fixed yet.
In this scenario, I suggest you build user hierarchy in your cube and use it in Excel when retrieving data into pivot table.
See a similar thread below:

Is it possible to build hierarchy (among 4-5 std. dim) in MDX query?

Hi,
Let's say i have 4 standard dimensions:
Std1
Std2
Std3
Std4
Each of the above standard dimensions have their own hierarchy.
Std1
==Std1_1
==Std1_1_1
Std2
==Std2_1
Std3
==Std_3_1
Std4
==Std4_1
Now, we can see that there is "NO" hierarchical relationship between any two of the above four standard dimensions.
I would like to build a hierarchy(dynamically) in the MDX query (during retrieval), so that, the standard dimensions and the measures are retrieved in my required hierarchy.
For example, if at runtime, i want hierarchy like the below:
Std2
|_ Std3
|_Std1
|_Std4
Can i build this hierarchy in MDX query?
Is there any way to do this in MDX?
Thanks in advance.

Vivek Ganesan

What you want is a custom data formatter. I would give you some links, but my iPad wants to convert them into the documentation viewer.
You aren't going to find much help with C++ debugging. While Apple's Clang has made great improvements in C++ support compared to GCC, C++ is really not something that Mac or iOS programmers typically use. The Cocoa containers and objects are so much more versatile. You kind of have to have a masochist streak and a 7 year development schedule to use C++. C++ is experiencing a bit of a resurgence, especially in defense markets. For a long time, compilers had such poor support for C++ that it just wasn't possible. After simplifying the language a little, compilers can now compile and link C++. Consultants have realized they can provide C++ services and burn though billable hours better than any other language on the market. Independent developer, however, don't have those schedules and budgets so they tend to use NSArray. Xcode supports it better in the debugg and, chances are, you don't need to debug it anyway. There are a number of matrix classes built on Cocoa.

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.

SSRS report with tabular model – MDX query CoalesceEmpty function does not return the provided string value

Hello everyone,
I created following calculated member in MDX query. I am using it in one of the report parameter in dataset (single select dropdown list as report parameter).
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS
CoalesceEmpty([Customer].[National Account Code].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION,'None')
I would like to display 'None' text at the top of the dropdown list values. So that when user selects 'None' then this parameter will not considered in MDX query else the selected National Account Code will be considered to filter report data. But,
the above return blank/empty value for [Customer].[National Account Code].& member though I specified 'None' as text in CoalesceEmpty function. Any advice would be appreciated.

SSRS report with cube – MDX query how to get an extra row with value '0'.

Hello everyone,
I'm unable to write the MDX query to get '0' value as first row in output. Following is my MDX query:
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Dummy] AS   '0'
SELECT NON EMPTY Union( {[Measures].[Amount] },{[Measures].[Dummy]}) ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY { ([Customer].[Customer Nbr].[Customer Nbr].ALLMEMBERS * [Fiscal].[Year].[Year].ALLMEMBERS ) }
having [Measures].[Amount] > 5000
ON ROWS FROM [cube]
With above query, the output returns the value '0' as a separate column.
I would like to get it in form of first row for [Measures].[Amount]. Like,
Amount
0
500
200
100
What needs to be changed to achieve the above result? I'm planning to use the above value in line chart to start the line from 0th value as described in following URL. (Note: The below URL is using SQL query and not MDX expressions.)

The round brackets in your expression are forcing an implicit crossjoin between the 3 lines. I would do the following which creates a set of the DummyYear plus the real year members and then crossjoin that with the customer set.
WITH MEMBER [Fiscal].[Year].DummyYear AS   '0'
SELECT NON EMPTY {[Measures].[Amount]} ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY {[Fiscal].[Year].DummyYear,
     [Fiscal].[Year].[Year].MEMBERS} *
            [Customer].[Customer Nbr].[Customer Nbr].MEMBERS
having [Measures].[Amount] > 5000
ON ROWS FROM [cube]

So It is working for two different values by using union and cross join.
Can you please provide the solution ..
Thanks in advance

Hi Philip
Thanks for replying me.
I tried on that way, In my mdx query i am using one slice attribute (i.e [Customer].[Gender].allmembers) in rows so getting error "The Hierarchy already appears in Axis1".

I got it to work by adding the child_id's "decison' to the fact table as it is alot easier to get that data using Sql Script while creating the fact table and also there is already a "decsion" dimension setup. In the cube I can select the
parent_id's decision and/or child_id's decision. It is working on the report. Thanks.

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]
