Problem with HideMemberIF
-
Hi
I have a problem with HideMemberIf. I've tried to find answer here and on other sides but nothing helps.
Business case:
I have 2 groups of cost codes:
- Old with flat list of cost codes
- New with 3 levels hierarchy
Dimension table has 5 columns:
NameOfGroup - namelvl1 - namelvl2 - namelvl3 - cost code
And data like that:
Name Old group - NULL - NULL - NULL - cost code
Name New Group - namelvl1 - namelvl2 - namelvl3 - cost code
I've read this articles
https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2009/11/11/ragged-hierarchies-hidememberif-and-mdx-compatibility/
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/analysis-services/multidimensional-models/user-defined-hierarchies-ragged-hierarchies?view=sql-server-2014

and the most interesting https://xzwang.wordpress.com/2013/07/10/ragged-hierarchy-and-hidememberif/
I've replaced NULLs with cost code so now table looks:
Name Old group - cost code- cost code- cost code- cost code
Name New Group - namelvl1 - namelvl2 - namelvl3 - cost code
And use ParentName or OnlyChildWithParentName but I still see hierarchy like:
Name Old group
- cost code
- cost code
- cost code
- cost code
What am I doing wrong?Sorry if it is too easy question or unclear - I'm new in SSAS .
Best regards

Asking question helps find answer
The problem was in data type - cost code are int but I casted them to varchar so data were
NameOfOldGroup(varchar) - cost code(varchar) - cost code(varchar) - cost code(varchar) - cost code(int).
And advise to hide lthe lowest lvl too https://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/1020377/Hidememberif
I've spend two days to find this answer and now I'll remember it for long
