I have an OLAP multi dimensional cube, which in its simplest form contains:
The requirement is that the user wants to be able to compare the total NetAmount from the beginning of each year up to a specific date. The date can be chosen by setting filters on the Day and Month fields. For example, the user wants to see total value for:
What would be the best way to tackle this requirement?
You can create calculated member with YTD function like this:
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[NetAmountYTD]
as
Aggregate(YTD ([Time].[Time].CurrentMember), [Measures].[NetAmount])
You could also create Utility dimension for example TimeUtility, and add YTD member, and define it like this:
Scope([TimeUtility].[YTD]);
this = Aggregate(YTD ([Time].[Time].CurrentMember), [TimeUtility].[DefaultMember]);
End Scope;
This way whatever measure you look against [TimeUtility].[YTD] it will give you Year to Date for that measure, not just NetAmount, so it will be general solution.
