I need some help. Im new to MDX and SSAS. I need to convert every value for [FMSA Monthly Activity] under the [Dim FMS Heirarchy].[FMS Reporting Hierarchy].[FMSH Financial Page] starting under the Income Statement and all the levels below that member.
I have been trying this?? Im I on the right path?
-- Convert Revenue To Positive
SCOPE(descendants([Dim FMS Heirarchy].[FMS Reporting Hierarchy].[FMSH Financial Page].&[Income Statement],[Dim FMS Heirarchy].[FMS Reporting Hierarchy].[FMSH Financial Page],SELF_AND_AFTER),[Dim Date].[Current YTD]);
This =(([Measures].[FMSA Monthly Activity].CurrentMember)*(-1));
END SCOPE

I'm thinking you could use ABS or IIF (ABS being the easiest and most efficient)

ABS:ABS(([Measures].[FMSA Monthly Activity].CurrentMember))

IIF:IIF

(

[Measures].[FMSA Monthly Activity].CurrentMember >= 0,

[Measures].[FMSA Monthly Activity].CurrentMember,

[Measures].[FMSA Monthly Activity].CurrentMember*(-1)

)

OK but is the scoping correct? See link on post.

My values are not getting updated.

Why have you included [Dim Date].[Current YTD] in your scope statement?

Also, a good method for troubleshooting scope statements is to use font color formatting...

SCOPE(

descendants(

[Dim FMS Heirarchy].[FMS Reporting Hierarchy].[FMSH Financial Page].&[Income Statement],

[Dim FMS Heirarchy].[FMS Reporting Hierarchy].[FMSH Financial Page],

SELF_AND_AFTER

),

[Dim Date].[Current YTD]

);

This = [Measures].[FMSA Monthly Activity] * (-1);

Fore_Color ( This ) = "255";

END SCOPE;

I guess I don't need it.

I want all of Dim Time to be updated.

SCOPE(descendants([Dim FMS Heirarchy].[FMS Reporting Hierarchy].[FMSH Financial Page].&[Income Statement],[Dim FMS Heirarchy].[FMS Reporting Hierarchy].[FMSH Financial Page],SELF_AND_AFTER));

This =(ABS(([Measures].[FMSA Monthly Activity].CurrentMember)));

Fore_Color ( This ) = "255";

END SCOPE;

This should get me there correct?

gotcha - in that case, give this one a shot... scope to the leaf level below the [Income Statement] member and let the engine handle the aggregation back up through the levels between.
