SSAS: Add Calculated Measure as child measure

  • Hi,

    In SSAS, I want to add a calculated measure and set that measure as the Parent of existing measure. For example I have the measures as A and B from the fact table. Now i want to add a calculated measure as C and set this measure as Parent for measures A and B. How to do that in SSAS. Thanks.

  • What do you exactly mean saying Parent Measure? can you share any example/detail and desired output ?

  • I have a fact table with below columns

    FactID

    Date

    Location

    Measure A

    Measure B

    Measure C

    Measure D

    And now I want to create calculated measure and that looks like

    Measure S

    Measure A

    Measure B

    Measure C

    Measure D

    that is Measure S is the parent for Measure A and Measure B.

    How to do it?

  • When you say Measure S you mean Sum of Measure A + Measure B?

    if so then just your Measure A + Measure B you will get your desired result.

    And when you say Parent Measure, there isn't any thing called Parent Measure.

    usually, your dimensions have Parent - Child relation ships not the measures.

  • Thanks for the reply.

    Looks like it is available in Essbase to create Parent child measure.

    We want to migrate from Essbase to MSBI. So, We need to achieve this functionality.
