Question

Is it possible to sum an IIF statment in MDX?

Here’s an example of what I am trying to do:

With
Member [dim something].[group].[Summed] as
Sum(
iif( [dim something].[date one] = [dim date].[specific date],1,0)
   )

Select  [dim something].[group].[summed] on 0,
        [dim date].[specific date].members on 1

From    [Cube]

I know this does not work, just trying to show what I am trying to do. I want to evaluate a condition and return a 1 or zero based on that condition. Then sum or count the number of times it was returned as 1

Fairly new to MDX, coming from a SQL background it’s very different.

Answer 1

IF [dim something].[date one] is every only one date for your query then it would be something like the following

SELECT [Measures].[Some count] on 0
FROM [CUBE]
WHERE [dim date].[specific date]
