I am attempting run the following MDX query to determine the distinct amount of transaction numbers for a set including 2 dimension attributes. (POS and Concierge) When I run the query, I seem to be getting the distinct amounts for each added to together. If the same transaction number exists in both, they are both counted. However if I attempt to get the same result using an Excel Pivot table, I get the desired transaction number count. Could anyone help me with getting this result in the MDX query?
WITH SET [Week] AS StrToMember("[Date].[Hierarchy - Fiscal].[Fiscal Week].&[2012]&[48]") SET [Store] AS {[Financial Transaction Channel].[Transaction Channel Desc].&[POS], [Financial Transaction Channel].[Transaction Channel Desc].&[CONCIERGE]} MEMBER [Store Transactions With Returns] AS
SUM([Week] * [Store], [Measures].[Operational Transactions Count]) SELECT { [Store Transactions With Returns] } ON COLUMNS, { [Week] } ON ROWS FROM EDW
Results: Store Transactions With Returns
Wk. 48 - 2012 78,636
The same attempt using an Excel Pivot table yields this:
Row Labels | Operational Transactions Count | |
Year 2012 | 78,368 | |
Half 2 - 2012 | 78,368 | |
Qtr. 4 - 2012 | 78,368 | |
December - 2012 | 78,368 | |
Wk. 48 - 2012 | 78,368 | 78,636 |
1 US STORES | 78,368 | |
CONCIERGE | 3,668 | |
POS | 74,968 | |
Grand Total | 78,368 | |
If you add the POS and Concierge amounts, you get 78,636. Which is the same result I am getting from my MDX query, but after I went through the transactions line by line, I was able to determine that 78,368 is the correct amount of distinct transaction numbers.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
