I am new to SSAS and really need to get this to work so any input is appreciated.
I have a date dimension that includes the following attributes:
Year,
Month Number Of Year.
I have a calculated member that gives the previous year’s sales quantity:
([Measures].[Sales Quantity],[Date].[Year].PrevMember)
I filter the data on ‘Year’ = 2012 and ‘Month Number Of Year’ = 1,2,3,4,5 and I get the correct result which is sales from year 2011 months 1,2,3,4,5.
However, I added a heirarchy called ‘year-month’ with relationship:
datekey-month number of year – year
I cannot get the above calculated member to work when I filter using the heirarchy with exact filter described above.
I would have expected this to just work with no other changes because these are the same attributes except now they are in a heirarchy. I even tried referencing the hierarchy in the calculated member and got no result:
([Measures].[Sales Quantity],[Date].[ year-month].[Year].PrevMember)
Again any input is appreciated as I am completely stuck and have spent hours researching and troubleshooting this.
