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!

MDX:  How can I reference a value outside the scope (slice) used by the query???

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

Folks:

I am new to MDX - so this is probably elementary.  I am in the credit card space - and putting together a report on declined transactions.  I want this report to function on a slice that my management finds of particular interest.  (Basically - their to 10 list.)

I have an MDX query that works.  It accesses a slice of "Clients" that are maintained in a named set in my cube.  I call that set [Clients Named Set]  below.  In my cube - the below from select down (if you remove measures.GrandCardsInvoicable) will work and return good results.

My problem is - I want to also include a count of the total number of cards we have outstanding - including those not in the slice.  (This is the GrandCardsInvoicable.)   I'm trying to do this with a named member at the top of the query - but my results always come back scoped.  The entire thing below will run - but CardsInvoicable will always be equal to GrandCardsInvoicable - which is not my goal.  I want to latter to be an absolute - all inclusive number.

My destination is SSRS so I need a single - two dimensional structure.

Thanks in advance!!!
