• SQL Server How to use YTD on a mirror period

    Hi friends   I have a funny situation. I have a period dimension which contains Year, Qtr, Month. I also have another Time dimension which contains Mth1 .. Mth25.   The 2nd Time dimension matches that of the 1st Time dimension ie. Mth25 is 2005.April. and Mth24 is 2005.March and so on...   However I need to calculate YTD when MTH25 is selected from the dimension.   I can't exactly do YTD (Mth25) as Mth25 is not a time dimension. Is there a way to Retrieve the equivalent time dimension in the form of 2005.April from Mth25 so that I can use in YTD Calculation   Thanks Tom ...Show All

• SQL Server DSO in SQL2005

  Anybody can share the way to administer AS2005 using DSO Not sure if you have since resolved this or not, I have come across this error a few times now and pretty much all via the same way. What happened with me is that I was entering in an MDX Expression in the 'Calculations Measures' section of the CUBE CONFIGURATION (In Project Server 2007). The error was a result of using a comma instead of a period in the formula. I have also come to find that even if you delete out the formula altogether and then save it again it does not clear out for the next build for some reason and you get the same error.
