OLAP level-based measure drilldown issue

Question

everyone!

Following the "Pentaho Analizer Cookbook" PDF, I tried to stablish a level-based measure.

My cube has a single dimension hierarchy: Clients that have Projects that have Buildings that have Phases that have Costlines level 0 that have Costlines level 1.

So, there let be samples for both fact and dimensions:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS TMP_DEBUG_OLAP_13_FACTS;
CREATE  TABLE TMP_DEBUG_OLAP_13_FACTS AS
          SELECT 1 AS client_id,1 as project_id,1 as building_id,'1_1_1_1' as phase_id,'1_1_1_1_1' as costs_line_level_0_id,'1_1_1_1_1_1'  as costs_line_level_1_id,10 as amount
UNION ALL SELECT 1 AS client_id,1 as project_id,1 as building_id,'1_1_1_1' as phase_id,'1_1_1_1_2' as costs_line_level_0_id,'1_1_1_1_2_1'  as costs_line_level_1_id,20 as amount
UNION ALL SELECT 1 AS client_id,1 as project_id,1 as building_id,'1_1_1_2' as phase_id,'1_1_1_2_1' as costs_line_level_0_id,'1_1_1_2_1_1'  as costs_line_level_1_id,30 as amount

;

And my calculated measure is such as

([Measures].[My measure] , Ancestor([Dimensions].CurrentMember , [Dimensions].[Building]) )

The whole cube's xml (Mondrian) is as follows:

<Schema name="level_based_measure_unit_test">
  <Dimension type="StandardDimension" visible="true" name="Dimensions">
    <Hierarchy name="Dimensions hierarchy" visible="true" hasAll="true" primaryKey="costs_line_level_1_id">

  </Cube>
</Schema>

I have 1 problem with that formula:

It displays a value at building level, but drillind-down, it keeps its value.

Picture of what I mean:

Does anyone know how should I change my calculated member, so it displays the measure [My measure] but only on Building level and below?

Thank you so much!

Answer 1

As the Pentaho Analizer Cookbook specifies, that Formula is for pinning a Measure to a certain level.

It is: if you drill-down, you'll get the value as the drill-up.

If what you need (if I understood correctly) is to just display nothing for upper-levels, then user the next Formula:

IIF([Dimensions].CurrentMember.Level.Ordinal < 3 , NULL , [Measures].[My measure] )
