Dynamic MDX Query

I am working on SRS 2005 report and need to calculate measures based on parameters. The new great feature of SRS2005 which allows to use parameters in MDX query unfortunately does not work in inner query. For example I am building 4 time sets based on specified date ranges and then calculate summary for each time set. So query looks like this:

With

Set [Time1] AS '@.ParameterTime1'

...

Set [Time4] AS '@.ParameterTime4'

member [Measures].[Count1] as 'Sum ( { [Time1] } ,[Measures].[Count]) '

...

member [Measures].[Count4] as 'Sum ( { [Time4] } ,[Measures].[Count]) '

Select

{

[Measures].[Count1, ... , [Measures].[Count4]

} on Columns,

{

...

} on Rows

From [Cube]

It would be great if we still had dynamic queries supported with MDX which was available in SRS 2000. In that case I could build a query string and incorporate paramters in SET section. For example this type of query would not work in SRS 2005. I'm getting an error.

="With Set [Time1] AS ' " & Parameter!ParameterTime1 &"' ....."

If someone found any solution of using complex MDX queries with parameters, please respond. I am searching the web for a few days and no luck.

Thanks

Hi,

You can use parameters in the calculated members or sets, but you need to remove the character '.

With
Set [Time1] AS @.ParameterTime1
...
Set [Time4] AS @.ParameterTime4
member [Measures].[Count1] as 'Sum ( { [Time1] } ,[Measures].[Count]) '
...
member [Measures].[Count4] as 'Sum ( { [Time4] } ,[Measures].[Count]) '
Select
{
[Measures].[Count1, ... , [Measures].[Count4]
} on Columns,
{
...
} on Rows
From [Cube]

Telmo,

Thanks a lot ! You saved my day.

The query with parameters works fine.

Hi,

I have a similar requirement but the number of sets i need to create is not fixed and needs to be dynamic. I will know the number of date ranges i need to filter on only at run time and i dont want to build an MDX query at runtime. Is there a simpler way of achieveing this by passing all the date ranges I require as a single parameter?

Thanks in Advance,

Arun

|||Hi,
is it possible to use a parameter as mentioned below?

select [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] on 0,
@.ProductCategories on 1
from [Adventure Works]
And the MDX it would actually run against Analysis Services would be:
select [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] on 0,
{[Product].[Category].&[1],[Product].[Category].&[2]} on 1
from [Adventure Works]

dynamic mdx

Hello i'm new user,

i have a calculated member

the function LINREGSLOPE juste calculate the slope ( ie: a) of the equation Y= a *X+b

calculated member Name= Gain

LINREGSLOPE([TIME].[Month].&[2006-02-01T00:00:00]:[TIME].[Month].&[2006-06-01T00:00:00],[Mesures].[NumofCustomer],[TIME].[Month], [TIME].[Rank])

i write

the formula do the job veru well. What i want to do now is to

transform the expression to be dynamic with two parameter

I hope this will help.

I seen in this forum that this is possble. how to extract

this information. How can i concat the parametre!month.value with the

string ?

i see idea of solution here but i dont know how to exploit it

how can i do this please help

thanks

hi,

If I am not mistaken, I think you want to restrict the query based on static value instead of dynamic parameters. Right? If that is the case you can just include a where condition to your query like this:

where [Dimension].[Heirarchy].&[Member1]:[Dimension].[Heirarchy].&[Member2]

Note: Dimesion is your dimension name

Heirarchy is your heirachy name.

Member1 is the start date

Member 2 is the end date

I hope this will help.

Sincerely,

Amde

|||thanks amde,

no it's the opposite from static de dynamique.

if the user change the parametre the query will change too.i want to write my expresion with a parameter.

i want somethink like this:

linregslope([Time].[month].&"param1":[Time].[month].&"param2",[measures].[numberCustomer],[Time].[Month].[MonthNumber]).

if you have others questions feel free to ask me.

visite the link in my first post.

I hope this will help.

any idea is welcome

ok thanks

i found the solution

this isi the code:

WITH

set [RangeMonth] as LastPeriods(STRTOMEMBER (@.FromTIMEMonth,CONSTRAINED),STRTOMEMBER (@.ToTIMEMonth,CONSTRAINED))

MEMBER [Measures].[GAIN PER MONTH] AS 'LINREGSLOPE([RangeMonth],[Measures].[mymeasure],Rank([TIME].[Month], [TIME].[Month].Members))'

,format="percent"

SELECT NON EMPTY {[Measures].[GAIN PER MONTH],[Measures] ..........
