adding new column from SSAS model
- 6 years ago
This is because the SSAS data import feature can generate inefficient MDX when importing. A workaround is to write your own custom query, preferably using DAX.
Once you do this, I promise you'll never go back 🙂
Here's an example query you can tweak:
DEFINE
VAR vFilter1 =
FILTER ( ALL ( DimProduct[Color] ), [Color] IN { "Red", "Blue" } )
VAR vFilter2 =
FILTER (
ALL ( DimGeography[CountryRegionName] ),
[CountryRegionName] = "United States"
)
EVALUATE
SUMMARIZECOLUMNS (
DimProduct[Color],
DimProduct[Size],
DimDate[CalendarYear],
vFilter1,
vFilter2,
"Total Sales", SUM ( FactInternetSales[Sales Amount] ),
"Distinct Customers", DISTINCTCOUNT ( FactInternetSales[CustomerKey] )
)
