How could I modify it as MDX Parameter?

Hi,
I have a MDX syntax as follow
select
[Measures].[Amount] on columns,
[XX03Buyer] on rows
from cubeef
where [XX01Product].[XX01Product].&[2212]
and want to change .&[2212] as Parameter,
that I can select Product code like 2200, 2211.
So, how should I do?
Thanks for any advice!
AngiSet up your parameter as you would normally then in the mdx change it to
="select" & "[Measures].[Amount] on columns, "
& "[XX03Buyer] on rows "
& "from cubeef "
& "where [XX01Product].[XX01Product].&["& Parameters!ProductID.Value &"]"
That should do it, as long as i got the syntax right. Problem with this is
that you can't test it unless you preview it. So if you want to get more
from you MDX suxh as more fields you need to take out all the quotes and &'s
and the = at the beginning. So my advice is save a copy of the MDX query
for a particular product so you can refresh your fields easily.
hope that helps

How concatenate members from 3 virtual dimensions using MDX

Hello,
There is a big problem - my client made 3 virtual dimensions (Year, Quarter,
Month) from single time dimension and wants to use them, because the
graphical interface in Excel is more friendly for end-users to have 3
dimensions (i.e. 3 separate tabs).
But in the same time we need to make MDX queries with time series with MDX
formulas like YTD, LastPeriod and so on. These formulas need full time
dimension.
I wonder there is possibility to concatenate all 3 members from virtual
dimension and use that aggregate as member for real Time dimension. For
example if user selects 2005 year, I Quarter and February from virtual
dimensions, we can assume, that member from real dimension could be
[2005].[I].[February], but how make that member and submit it to
formula for
later use.
In SQL we have possibility to construct SQL queries dynamically, and what
about MDX.
ErnestasJust an idea -
StrToTuple(
IIF( < original tuple >.Item(0).Dimension IS [VYear] AND < tuple
>.Item(0).Dimension IS [VQuarter] AND < tuple >.Item(0).Dimension IS
[VMonth], < Parse the unique names to create your real unique name using
VB
functions>, TupleToStr(<original tuple> ) )
)

How can we get the round value of a number by MDX?

Hi, all,

How can I get the round value of a number (e.g 4.95, I want to get its closest value of 5), how can I achieve this by MDX?

Thanks a lot and I am looking forward to hearing from you.

With best regards,

Yours sincerely,

go to menu report -> report properties and select code. then paste following code there.

Public Function Round(d as double) AS Double
Dim roundValue AS Double
roundValue =System.Math.Round(d)

If (System.Math.Abs(d - roundValue) - 0.5>0) Then
If (roundValue Mod 2) = 0 Then
roundValue = roundValue + 1
End If
End If

RETURN roundValue
End Function

then in ur designer

Code.Round(Field!Amount.value)

think this wil b ok

Hi, thanks for your help. But i dont understand as what i am trying to do is for the KPI in cube designer, i want to get a round value for the KPI.

Thanks.

With best regards,

Yours sincerely,

Helen,

In MDX you can achieve Rounding by using VBA!Round Function as following

WITH MEMBER [Measures].[My Rounded Measure]

AS VBA!ROUND([Measures].[My Measure],0)

SELECT

{

[Measures].[My Rounded Measure]

} ON 0,

NON EMPTY{

[Customer].[Customer].[Customer]

} ON 1

FROM [My Cube]

How can we format data in single MDX expression rather than MDX statement?

Hi, experts,

Thanks for your kind attention.

How can we format data by a single MDX expression rather than MDX statement? (e.g. I want to format measure member A with 2 decimal places. How can we achieve this in a single MDX expression?, not in complex MDX statement).

Hope it is clear for your help.

Thanks and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.

With kind regards,

Yours sincerely,

Hi,

Not to sure what you mean by expression rather than MDX Statement.

In a query it might look like:

with member [measures].[Percentage Of Region Total] as

[Measures].[Charge Out]/

([Measures].[Charge Out],[Campaign].[Campaign Region Hierarchy].[All Campaign Regions]),

format_string ='#.##%'

In the calculation script another might look like

CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[MEASURES].[Sales Rev Variance]

AS ([Measures].[Sales Revenue])-([Measures].[Sales Revenue],[Revenue Recognition Date].[Financial Year].currentmember.prevmember),

FORMAT_STRING = "￡#,#",

NON_EMPTY_BEHAVIOR = { [Sales Revenue] },

VISIBLE = 1;

Hope that helps

Matt

Or in the MDX Script of the cube with

Code Snippet

format_string([Measures].[Discount])="#,#.00";

Hi, Thanks very much, Matt and HANNES.

How can we determine status of defined aggregates

We have a large Analysis Services 2005 installation with many partitions.

Is there an XMLA command or MDX query that will list all of the defined aggregations and their current status? We would like to run this command after an incremental update to make sure that we have not had an inadvertant dropping of aggregates.

Thanks,

Marty

I think you want the DISCOVER_PARTITION_STAT command. It should return a list of the aggs that are processed. If the list it returns is missing any, then you know

Code Snippet

<Discover xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis">

<RequestType>DISCOVER_PARTITION_STAT</RequestType>

<Restrictions>

<RestrictionList xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis">

<DATABASE_NAME>Adventure Works DW</DATABASE_NAME>

<CUBE_NAME>Adventure Works</CUBE_NAME>

<MEASURE_GROUP_NAME>Internet Sales</MEASURE_GROUP_NAME>

<PARTITION_NAME>Internet_Sales_2003</PARTITION_NAME>

</RestrictionList>

</Restrictions>

<Properties>

</Properties>

</Discover>

That's a bit difficult to read because it returns XML, so I'd suggest you check out a stored proc Darren Gosbell wrote at http://www.codeplex.com/ASStoredProcedures/Wiki/View.aspx?title=XmlaDiscover

It returns a nice table which is easier to read. The equivalent command would be:

Code Snippet

CALL ASSP.Discover("DISCOVER_PARTITION_STAT","<DATABASE_NAME>Adventure Works DW</DATABASE_NAME><CUBE_NAME>Adventure Works</CUBE_NAME><MEASURE_GROUP_NAME>Internet Sales</MEASURE_GROUP_NAME><PARTITION_NAME>Internet_Sales_2003</PARTITION_NAME>")

If anyone else has other suggestions for better ways to quickly identify which aggs aren't processed, I'd like to hear it.

|||This worked great. Thanks.|||

We have a large number of aggregates that are showing a size of 0. What exactly does that mean? I've been unable to find any reference to aggregation_size.

<row>

<DATABASE_NAME>Phase 1</DATABASE_NAME>

<CUBE_NAME>Sales</CUBE_NAME>

<MEASURE_GROUP_NAME>Sales</MEASURE_GROUP_NAME>

<PARTITION_NAME>S200511</PARTITION_NAME>

<AGGREGATION_NAME>Aggregation 54</AGGREGATION_NAME>

<AGGREGATION_SIZE>0</AGGREGATION_SIZE>

</row>

Thanks,

Marty

AGGREGATION_SIZE means the number of rows in that agg. For instance, if you have a partition for 2006 that has 1000 rows in the fact table then the XMLA query I mentioned above will give show you one <row> tag with no AGGREGATION_NAME showing AGGREGATION_SIZE of 1000. Then if you have a simple agg built on calendar month and nothing else, you should see another <row> showing an AGGREGATION_SIZE of 12 (meaning there are 12 rows in that agg, one for each month). Make sense?

Because you're seeing sizes of 0, I assume that means that there are no rows in your fact table for that partition. Can you confirm this?

How can I use MDX functions in SQL Query Analyzer (Client Tool)

I'm very new to using MS-SQL stuffs and the IT dept here doesn't have any
DBMA to speak of. Thus, I'm a bit on my own - except for you helpful
people...
I just installed the Client Tools on my workstation and tried a simple query:
SELECT IIf(TBL.fld is NULL, "-N/A-", TBL.fld) FROM TBL;
and get the following error message:
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'is'.
According to the help files, this should work, but clearly not. Is there
something(s) I need to enable, install, configure, tweek, activate, cajole,
or otherwise beg into acquiesence?
