I have the following calculated member which represents the quantity of "overstocked" products:
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[Overstocked Items Count] AS
FILTER(
[Items].[Item No].CHILDREN,
[Measures].[Overstocked Qty] > 0
).COUNT
It works just fine for any linked to the measure group dimension except for the Items dimension itself and the reasons are obvious. Is there a way to create a calculated member that would respect the context it is evaluated in? So basically if this member is evaluated against an item group code I need items count by those groups, not the entire items set.
EXISTING
is a useful keyword that can add the current context to your measure:
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[Overstocked Items Count] AS
FILTER(
EXISTING([Items].[Item No].CHILDREN),
[Measures].[Overstocked Qty] > 0
).COUNT
EXISTING
is very good when you want to know the members present from a different hierarchy within the same dimension . eg say you have USA selected from the country hierarchy (in geography dimension) and you need to count state/county members from a stateCounty hierarchy that is also part of the geography dimension then EXISTING
is the correct choice.
If you want to go across dimensions so say you have USA selected and you'd like to count customer, from the customer dimension who are associated with the USA then I don't think EXISTING
will work - you'll need to explore either EXISTS
or NONEMPTY
.
