Greetings,
I am new to MDX, and am having trouble understanding how to perform an aggregation on a hierarchy level with members that have the same names. This query is particular to Microsoft Analysis Services 2000 cubes.
I have a given hierarchy dimension with levels defined as follows:
[Segment].[Flow].[Segment Week]
Within the [Segment Week]
level, I have the following members:
[Week- 1]
[Week- 2]
[Week- 3]
...
[Week- 1]
[Week- 2]
[Week- 3]
The members have the same names, but are aligned with a different [Flow]
in the parent level. So, the first occurrence of the [Week- 1]
member aligns with [Flow].[A]
while the second occurrence of [Week- 1]
aligns with [Flow].[B]
. What I am trying to do is aggregate all the members within the [Segment Week]
level that have the same name. In SQL terms, I want to GROUP BY the member names within the [Segment Week]
level. I am unsure how to do this. Thank you.
Dave
