Hi, I have a report which is based on OLAP Cube and it is having Time as dimension. When I am trying to sort the Year, Month,Day in descending order only year is getting sorted other level are coming in random order. For ex- month is coming as Dec Nov Jan Mar Oct etc . Same is the case with Day level. Any workaroud how to resolve the issue.
There is an option on the Data menu that says "Include Members with Only Missing Values." If this option is unchecked, then I suggest checking it to see if that changes the behavior.

@Madelyn_SAS Where exactly this option is available. Can you please give exactly where to look for this option.
When you are viewing your OLAP report, select the Data menu. I am attaching an image. If this option is not checked, then try checking it to see if it changes the sort behavior.
Here are some other notes related to date sorting for OLAP:

I have given year heirarchy as inherited ascending format ,month as inherit ascending format and date when I have given Ascending Formated ,days are coming fine but still the month are not coming in sorted order. I tried to give all the possible format available to the month column level but all in vain....Nothing changed. I also added the option include the missing value as you mentioned but that also not working properly.
