Question

I have a SQL stored proc that uses a linked server and Openquery to execute a MDX query. The result returned from the MDX query is in the format of:

Month 1 | Month 2 | Month 3 | Month 4

12        5         4         7

where the columns are dynamic i.e. I never know how many months will be in the output.

How can I transpose the output into a relational format e.g.

Two columns.

Col 1 | Col 2
-----   -----
Month1  12
Month2  5
Month3  4

etc etc

Answer 1

You’ll need to change your original MDX query from something like :

Select
 [Months].members on 0
from [MyCube]

to something like this one :

Select
 [Measures].defaultmember on 0,
 [Months].members on 1
from [MyCube]
