calculated member in time dimension

calculated member in time dimension

Post by maur » Wed, 15 May 2002 05:45:37



Hello community,

my regular time dimension need
some calculated member at year level (i.e. aggregate
(jan:month (x-1)), month x, aggregate(month (x+1):dec)).

Is it possible to define a "calculated member parent"
making it possible to define the calculated member at
year "level" rather than attaching it under an actual year
(i.e. [time].[year].&[2001] ) ?

thanks in advance

mauro

 
 
 

1. calculated members of time dimension

I have made calculated members of the time dimension for
current year, current qtr, current period, current week
and so on.
I want to:
- use them as a quick way of selecting current periods in
reports
- to calculate differences and relations between periods
for ANY member (also calculated) of the measure's
dimension.

[TIME].[CURRENT YEAR]:
StrToMember("[time].&["+format(now(),"yyyy")+"]")
[TIME].[LAST YEAR]:
StrToMember("[time].&["+format(now(),"yyyy")+"]").lag(1)
[TIME].[DIFF YEAR]:
[TIME].[CURRENT YEAR]-[TIME].[LAST YEAR]

QUESTIONS :
1. Which solve-order number should i give my calc members
in the time dim.
2. Which solve-order number should I give my calculated
measures, ex Profit and Sales Average from the Sales cube
in the Foodmart2000 db.
3. Is there a better way of doing this, f ex so that I can
select a period, not only the current, and get
differencies och relations ?

2. Is it possible for multiple connections (with the same user id) to UDB PE V8.1?
