When is a dimension memeber a calculated member?

Hey folks,
I created some master data., but I can't see (yet) any logic, if a member is a calulated member (in refernece to master data table, Flag "Calculated member").
When is this set to N, when to Y?
How can I influence/change this?
Thanks in advance!
Christian

Thanks for the reply. So far, this was my opinion, too.
But, I have the following hierarchy:
ID     EVDESCRIPTION     PRODGRP     SCALING     PARENTH1
ALLPROD                    
MUSTARD     Mustrad                       Food                          ALLPROD
KETCHUP     Kecthup                       Food                          ALLPROD
MAYONAISSE  Mayhonnaise       Food                          ALLPROD
BROOM     Broom                       Household          ALLPROD
MOP     Mops                       Household          ALLPROD
DUSTPAN     Dustpans                       Household          ALLPROD
In my opinion, the 6 entries (MUSTARD-DUSTPAN) are non-calculated members. Dimension member ALLPROD is a calculated member.
But when I had a look into master data table I saw, that the calculated member-flag for ALLPROD is N as well, which needs to be Y in my opinion.
ALLPROD     EN     N     H1               
BROOM     EN     N     H1     Household          Broom
DUSTPAN     EN     N     H1     Household          Dustpans
KETCHUP     EN     N     H1     Food          Kecthup
MAYONNAISE     EN     N     H1     Food          Mayhonnaise
MOP     EN     N     H1     Household          Mops
MUSTARD     EN     N     H1     Food          Mustrad
Why is the calculated-member-flag for ALLPROD = N, as ALLPROD is the root-Element of alle Products?
Any further help is appreciated.
Best Rgds,
Christian

  • MDX Query to Calculated member

    Hi All,
    I have a MDX query which works fine, when converting the query to Calculated member, I get the same result for all the rows of a dimension.
    select {[Measures].[Contents]} on 0,
    ([Dim Products].[Product Alias].[Product Alias].members,
    (filter ([Dim Products].[Product ID].members,
    instr(left([Dim Productss].[Product ID].currentmember.member_Key,3),'112')>0))) on 1
    from
    <<CubeName>>
    Calculated Member:
    SUM(filter ([Dim Products].[Product ID].members,
    instr(left([Dim Products].[Product ID].currentmember.member_Key,3),'112')>0),[Measures].[Contents])
    When I drag the dimension product, the calculated member showing the same result for all the products. Can anyone let me know the syntax error here.

    Hi SQL GUN,
    For me it works :
    WITH MEMBER [Last3MonthsInternetSales] AS 
    AGGREGATE
    LastPeriods(-3, ClosingPeriod([Date].[Calendar].[Month], [Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2005]&[12])), 
    [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
    SET MySet AS
    {[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2005]&[09],

    [Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2005]&[11],
    [Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2005]&[12],
    [Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2006]&[01],
    [Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2006]&[02]}
    SELECT
    [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],
    [Last3MonthsInternetSales]
    } ON COLUMNS,
    MySet
    } ON ROWS
    FROM [Adventure Works]
    Are u sure your query is correct. I think you might have a [Fiscal Month Num of Year] too much in your (). I'm not sure, but are u dragging the correct level of hierarchy ? Also in the part ON ROWS you seem to take a lot of levels with you.
    Why for example take .allmembers when you only want the actual last 3 of your currentmember?
    Can u check again?

  • Help in creating MDX Calculated Member using attributes from multiple Dimension

    Hi All,
    First of all my knowledge on MDX is basic. In one of our projects, there is a requirement to create calculated member (similar to derived fields in SQL) which is more of a dimension attribute and not really a calculated member. Due to IP issues I cannot paste
    the actual queries but I will provide an SQL Query equivalent to what I am trying to achieve:
    Select P.Product, Case When ISNULL(FS.ArtistName,'') = '' Then P.ArtistName Else FS.ArtistName End Artist
     From
    dbo.FactMusicSales FS
    Join dbo.dimProduct P
    on P.DimProductKey =  FS.DimProductKey
    We are trying to replicate the logic for derving the "Artist" field using MDX script.
    We are running into issues while trying to build an MDX expression using the above logic. The main issue being that the new field/member "Artist" would not be calculated unless its elements are selected (FS.ArtistName, P.ArtistName). Besides this
    we are also unable to place this new member in a different folder other than a sub folder under the measures. Any pointers to solving this would be really helpful.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Venki

    Hi Venki,
    According to your description, you need to create calculated member (similar to derived fields in SQL) which is more of a dimension attribute and not really a calculated member, right?
    In your scenario, you needn't to achieve this requirement by using MDX. You can use a named query on your data source view. A named query is a SQL expression represented as a table. In a named query, you can specify an SQL expression to select rows and columns
    returned from one or more tables in one or more data sources. So in you scenario, you can use your query on the DSV, and then use the modified table to create a dimension.

  • New calculated member based on existing measure and a dimension value

    Hi
    I’m trying to create a new calculated member in my cube based on an existing measure and a dimension value.
    I can do it easily in DSW but I want to do it as a Calculated Member in Calculations tab from my cube.
    I have a dimension called Product in which one attribute is UOM (unit of measure) and a measure called Quantity. The relationship with the fact table is “Regular”.
    For each product we have a unit of measure and an associated quantity measure:
    Product Name   
    UOM     Quantity
    Product 1   
              Km  
             50
    Product 2   
              Kg   
             60
    Product 3   
              Kw 
              25
    Product 4              L               
    15
    Product 5              T     
             1.5
    Total                                     151.5
    The calculated member I want to create is “Kw” and has to contain the value from Quantity measure when Product.UOM is “kW” and should look like this:
    Product Name   
    UOM     Quantity   
    Kw
    Product 1   
              Km  
             50           
    Product 2   
              Kg   
             60
    Product 3   
              Kw 
              25           
     25
    Product 4              L  
                 15
    Product 5              T     
             1.5
    Total                                     151.5        
    25
    So far I tried using the MDX with “IIF” or “Case” but with no results.
    What statement I should use in this case?
    Thank you.

    Hi Cees,
    Thank you for your answer.
    I never used yet the “Scope” statement and yet it’s an elegant solution.
    I use it as in your example:
    CREATE
    MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Kw]
    AS NULL,
    FORMAT_STRING =
    VISIBLE = 1 , 
    ASSOCIATED_MEASURE_GROUP =
    'TR Other';
    Scope [Measures].[Kw];
     Scope [Product].[UOM].[kW];
     This = [Measures].[Quantity];
     End
    Scope;
    End
    Scope;
    …and the calculations are solid…with one exception: when I took out UOM from the query there are no more any resuts:
    Product Name    Quantity    Kw
    Total      
    It’s only working
    if using UOM in the query.                         
    I also thought that a
    tulpe might be another solution as:
    ([Measures].[Quantity],[Product].[UOM].&[kW])
    On this last one I’ve got the expected results with one exception: when I use UOM in the query all the other UOM values are listed each one of them
    having the [Kw] measure calculation value.
    Product Name    UOM     Quantity    Kw
    Product 1              Km  
             50           
    Product 2              Kg   
             60
    Product 3              Km 
              25             25
    Product 3              Kg 
               25             25
    Product 3              Kw 
              25             25
    Product 3              L 
    25              25
    Product 3              T 
    25           
      25
    Product 4              L  
                15
    Product 5              T     
             1.5
    Total                                     151.5        
    25
    …and without UOM in the query I have what I’m expected:
    Product Name    Quantity   
    Kw
    Product 1              50           
    Product 2              60
    Product 3               25           
     25
    Product 4              
    15
    Product 5             
     1.5
    Total                       151.5        
    25
     Maybe we can work together to find a solution.
    Thank you,

  • Calculated member not displaying

    I have a calculated member that has a case statement with many many when clauses. I have included a part of the code below. But when a member doesn't exists in the "Beginning Buildings" calculated member doesn't appear in the cube as a measure.
    If I comment out the lines where the member doesn't exists then I can see the calculated member in the cube.
    So on the code below if I comment out the first when clause that has [FEB Estimate] in the Edition dimension I can see the calculated member in the cube. The Edition dimension doesn't have this member anymore but since is in a CASE statement it should
    not find it still display the member.
    CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Beginning Buildings]
    AS
    case
    when [Dim Edition].[Editions].CurrentMember is [Dim Edition].[Editions].[Qtr].&[FEB Estimate]&[1]
    then SUM([Dim Edition].[Editions].[Month].&[Year12 Actuals]&[4]&[12], [Measures].[base Buildings In Inventory])
    when [Dim Edition].[Editions].CurrentMember is [Dim Edition].[Versions].[Qtr].&[Year13 Budget]&[1]
    then SUM([Dim Edition].[Editions].[Month].&[Year12 Actuals]&[4]&[12], [Measures].[base Buildings In Inventory])
    else
    SUM([Dim Edition].[Editions].Prevmember, [Measures].[base Buildings In Inventory])
    end
    FORMAT_STRING
    = "#,##0",
    VISIBLE
    = 1, DISPLAY_FOLDER = 'Building';

    maybe I didn't explain it clearly but say I have this
    case
    when [Dim
    Edition].[Editions].CurrentMember
    is [Dim Edition].[Editions].[Qtr].&[FEB
    Estimate]&[1]
    then SUM([Dim
    Edition].[Editions].[Month].&[Year12
    Actuals]&[4]&[12],
    [Measures].[base
    Buildings In Inventory])
    when [Dim
    Edition].[Editions].CurrentMember
    is [Dim Edition].[Versions].[Qtr].&[Year13
    Budget]&[1]
    then SUM([Dim
    Edition].[Editions].[Month].&[Year12
    Actuals]&[4]&[12],
    [Measures].[base
    Buildings In Inventory])
    else
    SUM([Dim Edition].[Editions].Prevmember,
    [Measures].[base
    Buildings In Inventory])
    end
    the calculated measure doesn't this play
    but if I have this
    case
    when [Dim
    Edition].[Editions].CurrentMember
    is [Dim Edition].[Editions].[Qtr].&[FEB
    Estimate]&[1]
    then SUM([Dim
    Edition].[Editions].[Month].&[Year12
    Actuals]&[4]&[12],
    [Measures].[base
    Buildings In Inventory])
    else
    SUM([Dim Edition].[Editions].Prevmember,
    [Measures].[base
    Buildings In Inventory])
    end
    the calculated measure displays.
    Why is that?
    I have another cube that has the same type of case statement and it displays even though some case statements are not meet.

    Hi R,
    It might be as simple as adding solve_order = 99 to the cumulative calc. This tells the formula engine to do the cumulative calculation after the %.

  • MDX Calculated Member With Multiple Conditions

    I need to create a calculated member in my cube that spans multiple dimensions. A current calculated member looks like this:
    [Employee Hours Category].[Utilization Category].[NON-PTO], [Measures].[Employee Hours]
    This calculated member returns all the hours an employee worked that are not PTO.
    I need to select employee hours but with multiple conditions:
    - [DIM BILL STATUS][Bill Status] equals 0
    - [Employee Hours Time Category].[Time Category] equals "Client Facing"
    - [DIM PROJECT].[Client] isn't like "Olson"
    I know this is probably pretty easy, but I'm horrible with MDX!
    Thank you!!
    A. M. Robinson

    Thank you...
    Your answer looks good but I was actually able to figure out most of it, but still looking how to incorporate a FILTER into the MDX. I would like to FILTER like this:
     FILTER ([DIM Project].[Client].[Client].Members , 
                 NOT InStr([DIM Project].[Client].CurrentMember.MEMBER_NAME, "Olson")
    Heres the MDX I have so far that is working fine:
    ([Employee Hours Time Category].[Time Category].&[Client Facing],
       [DIM BILL STATUS].[Bill Status ID].&[1], [Measures].[Employee Hours])
    Do you just wrap the whole MDX in the filter, and if so, how would that be formatted?

  • Cross Tab with Calculated Member Fails in BO Enterprise

    Hello,
    I have a report (Crystal Reports 2008)  that I created using a cross tab, with a calculated member field. This report runs fine on my desktop, but fails when published to Crystal Enterprise (Server 2008).
    When scheduled, the instance history states Crystal Reports: Print Engine Error
    When I remove the calculated member from the cross tab, it runs fine.
    Has anyone come across this and if so, how did you resolve it? I believe this is a brand new feature in Crystal Reports 2008 - is it not supposed within Enterprise?
    Thank you for your assistance.

    Root Cause: I had built my report in Crystal Reports 2008 on the latest Service Pack/Fix Packs (which addressed the issue of calculated member). My Crystal Reports SERVER 2008 was on a lower version.
    I opened a message with SAP support and they were unable to tell me how to apply service packs to my Server. They then pretty much abandoned my question, so below is what I came up with on my own to fix the issue.
    There are no specific service packs/ hot fixes for Crystal Reports SERVER 2008, so I had to:
    1) install Crystal Reports V0 on my CRS 2008 machine
    2)Install all Service Pack/Fix Packs available for Crystal Reports 2008 (even SP1, even though all SAP documentation tells you not to do this, it is required before you can install SP2)
    3) Reboot Server
    If you do the same thing as me, just a warning that installing the Crystal Reports SPs will break InfoView/CMC until you apply them all and re-boot.

  • Difference Between Calculated Member and Embedded summary

    Hi,
    Can anyone explain me the difference between the Calculated Member and Embedded summary.  Please also clarify when to use which one.
    The issue I am having a crosstab report displaying sales revenue for product over the years.
    I have my years in columns, product in rows and sales revenue in summarized field.  There are 10 products in my report. Its static as of today.
    I have to group the first 4 products and display the sub total over the  years.  Similarly I have to group the last 6 products and display the sub total over the years in the cross tab.
    I have to display a column next to the sales revenue having the percentage contribution by the product to that group that I have created earlier.
    How to achieve the same.

  • Why does commenting out calculated member formulas in BIDs cause several minutes of CPU spike and non-responsive BIDs?

    I'm using SQL Server 2012.  I have noticed that commenting out calculated member formulas in BIDs (like even just 10 lines of formula) can cause BIDs to throttle all the CPU and become unresponsive for minutes.  What could be the cause of that?

    Hi Lee,
    According to your description, you get high CPU usage when commenting out the calculated member formulas. Right?
    With your information, we are not sure this is a MDX Query performance issue or the BIDS issue.  We suggest you optimize your MDX query and diagnose the Formula Engine performance. Please refer to the links below:

  • Using calculated member based upon existence of one or more currentmembers

    I'd like to use a calculated member - using the same definition- where the measure is based upon one dimension if that has been selected for use, or another dimension if that has been selected
    e.g with pseudocode
    WITH member [Measures].[Total Usage] AS
    ' IF EXISTS ([Date A].currentmember) THEN SUM([Date A].members, [Measures].[X])
     ELSE
     IF EXISTS ([Date B].currentmember) THEN SUM([Date A].members, [Measures].[X]) '
    It may sound odd to some ( possibly) - but I have a front end which is generating MDX and I can only really control the calculated member definition.
    Regards
    johnnie

    Hi
    I am not sure of your front end tool but in general, all generic calculated measures are possible with AXIS function. In your case sample MDX will be like
    MEMBER [Measures].[Generic SUM] AS
    iif( IsEmpty(Axis(0).Item(0)),
    null,
    iif( Axis(1).Item(0).Item(0).Hierarchy.CurrentMember.Level.Ordinal = 0,
    Axis(0).Item(0),
    Sum(Axis(1).Item(0).Item(0).Hierarchy.CurrentMember,
    Axis(0).Item(0)

  • How to display a percentage sign in calculated member column?

    Hello all,
    in my report I have a calculated member column whose value is determined by follwing value formula:
      if CurrentColumnIndex - 2 = 1 then 
            If GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-3, CurrentSummaryIndex) = 0 then 
            0 
            else 
            (GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-1, CurrentSummaryIndex)/ 
            GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-3, CurrentSummaryIndex)) * 100 
        else 
            If GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-5, CurrentSummaryIndex) = 0 then 
            0 
            else 
            (GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-1, CurrentSummaryIndex)/ 
            GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-5, CurrentSummaryIndex))*100 
    Returned is a numeric value and it is being correctly displayed in calculated member column. As the value should represent percentage, I need to display a % sign after every value.
    How would I achieve this? I have seen a thread here in the discussion where approach with a formula and DisplayString function is mentioned - but there are no details how this could be achieved....
    The crosstab in question looks like this:
    Calculated Member is based on "REV_TOTAL" group column.
    I also attached the .rpt file (renamed to .txt for upload)
    Many thanks in advance,
    Marin

    Hello Raghavendra,
    thanks for the quick reply.
    Unfortunately it is not as easy at it seems - calculated member column is not showing in report designer and I can not apply the suggested approach with formatting toolbar...
    The column only shows here (right click on table ->  "Advanced Calculations" -> "Calculated Member...") and there is no possibility to format it directly:
    Any other suggestions?
    Many thanks,
    Marin

  • What indexes are created when we check dimension as line item.

    What indexes are created when we check dimension as line item.
    and also What indexes are created when we check dimension as high cardinality.
    Where can i see that information in the system.
    Answers are highly appreciated.
    Regards
    Kunal

    Hi,
    Line item means it does not have any dimension table.
    High Cardinality means that the dimension is to have a large number of instances (that is, a high cardinality). Also, it is very important to indentify the line item dimension properly. E.g. Sales Order number, this will have the exact number of entries as the fact table entries. Hence, this can be created as a line item dimension. If you are not sure of high cardinality never select that. Activate this function when the dimension has is at least 10%- 20% the size of the fact table (in terms of the number of records). <b>In this case, B tree indices are created instead of bitmap indices.</b>. By default it is BITMAP but with high cardinality it is B-Tree indexing.
    Hope this helps.
