This doesn't seem like the right forum for this question, but other MDX questions are being answered here, so I'll try...
There is a one sentence mention in the SAS MDX manual that you can use SAS functions in MDX in the format 'SAS!mdx(2,9,2003)' for example for the the mdx function, i.e. the function must have a prefix of SAS!
The manual is short on examples, so I'm wondering if someone can help with the syntax for filtering out the past 5 years based on today's date. The syntax I'm using is:
create set [Orion Star Customer Order Cube].[Last5Years] as
'FILTER(
[Time_Dimension].[Year_Qtr_Month].[All Year_Qtr_Month].Children ,
[Time_Dimension].[Year_Qtr_Month].currentmember.name>="'SAS!year(today())-5"
)
'
The currentmember name has values of 2006 2007 etc.
It doesn't seem to like the >="'SAS!year(today())-5"
Any help is most appreciated.
