I've been working on an ExcelDNA C# xll that allows users to enter simple words (under guidance) and I construct the elaborate MDX for them to query against a remote ActivePivot cube.
During testing I've ntoticed that when filtering, the grand total disappears (presumably it's joining tuples together). How do I still get a grand total? Do I need to use SCOPE or create a calculated member?
Thanks to more advanced MDX people:
SELECT
NON EMPTY
{
[Measures].[Notional.SUM]
,[Measures].[Notional.SHORT]
,[Measures].[Notional.LONG]
} ON COLUMNS
,NON EMPTY
Hierarchize
(
Filter
(
(
[CDR].[CDR].MEMBERS
,[Book].[Book].MEMBERS
)
,
Left([Book].[Book].CurrentMember.MemberValue,2) = "22"
)
,POST
) ON ROWS
FROM [TraderCube]
WHERE
[Date].[Date].[2020-01-24];
The following is something similar against AdvWrks cube:
WITH
//>>inside the WITH clause we have moved the set
SET [FilteredSet] AS
{
Filter
(
[Reseller].[Reseller Type].[Business Type].MEMBERS
,
Left([Reseller].[Reseller Type].CurrentMember.MemberValue,2) = "sp"
OR
Left([Reseller].[Reseller Type].CurrentMember.MemberValue,2) = "VA"
)
}
//>>next we create a custom member that is the sum of the filtered set
MEMBER [Reseller].[Reseller Type].[All Visible Resellers] AS
Aggregate([FilteredSet])
SELECT
NON EMPTY
{[Measures].[Reseller Sales Amount]} ON COLUMNS
,NON EMPTY
//>> inside these curly brackets we declare a set that is the filtered set and the Total member
{
[FilteredSet]
,[Reseller].[Reseller Type].[All Visible Resellers]
} ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works]
WHERE
[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].&[2013];
The results of the above is the following:
