LOOKUPCUBE Problem!

Hi,

Dose LOOKUPCUBE function include "Customer Member" ?
I use Customer Member in LOOKUPCUBE syntax and system response #Err!
So, LOOKUPCUBE dosen't support Customer Member?
Thanks for any advice!

Hi Angi,

The LookupCube function returns either a numeric expression or a string expression. Assuming you have a Customer dimension with a hierarchy called Customers (with levels Country-State-City-Name), and you are issuing the query in cube Budget, but want to evaluate these expressions in another cube called Sales, here are two working examples:

with member x as 'lookupcube("Sales", "[Customers].[Country].&[Canada].name")'
select x on 0 from [Budget] -- returns the string Canada

with member x as 'lookupcube("Sales", "[Customers].[City].count")'
select x on 0 from [Budget] -- returns the number of cities in the City level

Hope this helps,

Artur

Artur,

Thanks for help!
My expression as follow...

WITH
MEMBER [X].[XX02].[THISPERIOD] AS '[X].[XX02].[200612]'
MEMBER [IV].[IV02].[Execute] AS 'LOOKUPCUBE ("CUBEEF" , " (
[X].[XX08].&[XX0830010] , " + [X].[XX04].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME + "," +
[X].[XX01].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME + " , [X].[XX02].[THISPERIOD] )" ) '
....
....

So, the Customer Member is [X].[XX02].[THISPERIOD] and the
[IV].[IV02].[Execute] will response #Err.
Any idea?

The second parameter in the LookupCube function call is invalid. To see the detailed error message, please double click on the Err# cell in SQL Management Studio and it will display the reason. Looks like you are trying to pass a set to the function and not a string. What are you trying to achieve with this query?

Lookupcube and Parameter not working together

I have the following MDx that works perfect, but I need now to attach a

check it out by copying the whole statement to Notepad, turn off word wrap
and see that it's all on one line.
Also, you might have to escape the quotes "s in your statement. You do this
by adding more quotes.

Try adding an extra " infront of you "s.

LookupCube

The following is the MDX query for the report

WITH MEMBER

Measures.[TreatmentCount]

AS

'LookupCube(

"Patient Hospital and Drug",

"(" + MemberToStr(AgencyID.CurrentMember) + ", [Measures].[Pharmacy DW Count])"

)'

SELECT

{ Measures.[TreatmentCount]} ON COLUMNS,

NON EMPTY { ([Agency Id].[Agency Id].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@.LastSixMonthsDrugProtocolCode, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@.LastSixMonthsDrugDrugName, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Last Six Months Pharmacy DW])) WHERE ( IIF( STRTOSET(@.LastSixMonthsDrugDrugName, CONSTRAINED).Count = 1, STRTOSET(@.LastSixMonthsDrugDrugName, CONSTRAINED), [Last Six Months Drug].[Drug Name].currentmember ), IIF( STRTOSET(@.LastSixMonthsDrugProtocolCode, CONSTRAINED).Count = 1, STRTOSET(@.LastSixMonthsDrugProtocolCode, CONSTRAINED), [Last Six Months Drug].[Protocol Code].currentmember ) ) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS

The MDX query is based on the two OLAP cubes, "Patient Hospital and Drug" and "Last Six Months Pharmacy DW". The second OLAP cube is used to fined out all the "Agency ID" for a selcted "Drug" and "Protocol Code" prescriped to a patient at least once for the last six months from today date. Then apply these set of "Agency ID" to filter out the entire warehouse data i.e. the first OLAP cube and find out the total count of the treatment for the patient for this selected "Drug" and "Protocol Code".

OLAP cube:Patient Hospital and Drug

Measures: Pharmacy DW

Pharmacy DW Count

Dimension: Agency Id

Agency Id

Agency Id

Dimension: Drug

Drug Name

Drug Name

Dimension: Drug

Protocol Code

Protocol Code

The second OLAP cube has the same structure as the first one and it has only the last 6 months data (filter out in the data source view). The data warehouse is updated and the OLAP cube is re-build daily.

Thanks

Maybe I'm missing something, but what's your question in this case - does the MDX query work as expected?
