Question

I m very new to cube development in SSAS. I m using Microsoft BIDS 2008.

I have built a small cube, which is as mentioned below:

    India   Pakistan GrandTotal 
Apr   6      10          16
May   5       6          11

I want to add a field called as average to be added beside Grand total

    India   Pakistan GrandTotal Average
Apr   6      10          16        8
May   5       6          11        5

Any inputs on this would be helpful. 5.5 in average is truncated to 5.

Thanks !!!

Answer 1

Create a calculated member that divides current measure by the count of members in your measure group (normally a count measure is automatically created when you add a measure group).

Truncation can be handled by the FORMAT_STRING property of that calculation or by using MDX functions.
