How can this be done in SSAS/MDX, 2 dates from Fact Tables to obtain calculation?

  • Currently I am working on a project where I have to calculate a measure that is based off two facts. The client sells packages which are a group of services. I have to calculate the consumption of the package within a date range. Using TSQL, I can calculate the value using two dates, but I cannot figure out how to do this using SSAS/MDX.

    An example of my TSQL query is below:

    SELECT t.ilocation, sum(t.quantity*t.price)

    FROM PackageDetails pd

    INNER JOIN Transactions t ON t.ipackageid = pd.iid AND t.ilocationid = pd.ilocationid

    INNER JOIN PackageInvoices p ON pd.iparentpkgid = p.iid AND pd.ilocationid = p.ILOCATIONID

    WHERE

    p.TransactionDateKey>= 20111001 AND p.TransactionDateKey <= 20111031

    AND t.TransactionDateKey>= 20111001 AND t.TransactionDateKey <= 20111031

    group by t.ilocation

    The Transactions and PackageInvoices are facts and the PackageDetails provides the information that relate the Package sale to the Transactions. The Transaction table does not contain the sale of the packages.

    I use the PackageInvoices to calculate Package Sales, and the Transactions to calculate Service sales.

    How can I accomplish the same using SSAS/MDX?
