Battling to get a cubeset to sort correctly

Good afternoon everyone

 

I am new here & this is my first post.

 

I have been searching the web & have not managed to find a solution to my problem.

 

Using the following formula, I am able to get the correct list of suppliers, but I am wanting to sort the list based on Units for the whole period (12 months). 

 

=CUBESET("ThisWorkbookDataModel","Except(Filter(EXISTS([OCR_VW_RPT_OCR].[PARENT_SUPPLIER_NAME].MEMBERS,[OCR_VW_RPT_OCR].[RETAINED_MONTH].[01 Aug 2024].lag(11):[OCR_VW_RPT_OCR].[RETAINED_MONTH].[01 Aug 2024]),[Measures].[EACT UNITS]>0),[OCR_VW_RPT_OCR].[PARENT_SUPPLIER_NAME].[All])","PARENTSUPPLIERNAME",2,"[Measures].[EACT UNITS]")

 

Can anyone spot the syntax error or is there maybe a different way/method of doing this? My generated list matches my manually created list perfectly, but the sort does not.

 

Any help on this would be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Darryll

Hi @Darryll_B1986, give this a try, and if you encounter any issues, let me know.

=CUBESET("ThisWorkbookDataModel", 
    "Except(
        Filter(
            EXISTS([OCR_VW_RPT_OCR].[PARENT_SUPPLIER_NAME].MEMBERS,
            [OCR_VW_RPT_OCR].[RETAINED_MONTH].[01 Aug 2024].lag(11):[OCR_VW_RPT_OCR].[RETAINED_MONTH].[01 Aug 2024]), 
            [Measures].[EACT UNITS]>0),
            [OCR_VW_RPT_OCR].[PARENT_SUPPLIER_NAME].[All]
        ), 
        [Measures].[EACT UNITS]
    )", 
    "PARENTSUPPLIERNAME", 
    2, 
    "[Measures].[EACT UNITS]"
)

Thank you for the reply @ahadkarimi , I get the following error when I use the formula provided, I think that there might be a missing " somewhere:

I cannot spot anything wrong with the formula though.

 

Thanks.
