If this is not true, it will calculate the percentage of the sales using the Sales Amount
measure and divide it using a tuple containing the sales amount and the parent of
the current member in the product hierarchy:
else [Measures].[Sales Amount] /
([Product].[Product
Hierarchy].CurrentMember.Parent,
[Measures].[Sales Amount])
The last statement in the statement terminates the
case
statement:
end
When you create calculated measures, you need to be aware of the fact that some
calculations can be very slow, as there are no aggregates created for a calculation.
In some cases, you are better off creating a calculated column down in the Data
Source View.
Adding calculated members
Another thing that you can do with the calculations is adding calculated members
to dimensions. These members can be both calculated members as well as named
sets.
To create a simple calculated member, perform the following steps:
1. Click on the
New Calculated Member
button in the cube designer.
2. Name the calculated member as
[Bikes and Clothing]
.
3. Change the value of
Parent hierarchy
to be
Product.Product Hier-
archy
.
4. Specify the value of
Parent member
as
[All]
.
5. Add the following expression:
([Product].[Product Category].&[1] +
[Product].[Product Category].&[3])
