The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

KPI not working - MDX query

Asked by DanPerlman in OLAP, MS SQL Server, SQL Server 2005

Tags: , ,

I'm new to BI. I have a cube that represents motorcycle or whole unit sales. In the cube I have a calculated measure called Total Margin and am trying to create a KPI that compares where we are now to the same period last year. I can't seem to get goal, status or trend values out of it and I need to get this cube ready to show to upper mgmt to get buy in this week.  Anyway here is what I have.

Value Expression:
[Measures].[Total Margin]

Goal Expression:
PARALLELPERIOD( Year, 1, [Measures].[Total Margin] ) * 1.1

Status Expression:
Case
when
(PARALLELPERIOD( Year, 1, [Measures].[Total Margin] ) * 1.1) > ([Measures].[Total Margin])
then
1
when
(PARALLELPERIOD( Year, 1, [Measures].[Total Margin] ) * 1.1) = ([Measures].[Total Margin])
then
0
when
(PARALLELPERIOD( Year, 1, [Measures].[Total Margin] ) * 1.1) < ([Measures].[Total Margin])
then
-1
end

Trend Expression:
Case
when
(PARALLELPERIOD( Year, 1, [Measures].[Total Margin] ) * 1.1) > ([Measures].[Total Margin])
then
1
when
(PARALLELPERIOD( Year, 1, [Measures].[Total Margin] ) * 1.1) = ([Measures].[Total Margin])
then
0
when
(PARALLELPERIOD( Year, 1, [Measures].[Total Margin] ) * 1.1) < ([Measures].[Total Margin])
then
-1
end

I know something is wrong and am not sure that when fixed it will actually give me the data I'm looking for.

Can anyone help out with this?

Thanks
