Writing YTD totals and Running totals using T-SQL can take a little effort. However, with MDX it's not too difficult. In this puzzle I will write an MDX statement that produces a monthly YTD or Running total. Here are the requirements:
Columns: Monthly Running Total (Calculation), Internet Sales Amount
Rows: Delivery Date Calendar Month
Filters: Delivery Date from January 2006 to December 2006
Hints: You may need to create a scope calculation (WITH MEMBER), use the YTD and SUM functions
Remember, don't post your solution here. Save them for my solution post. I will post it along with the steps that was taken to solve this puzzle in a couple of days. Here is a screen shot of what the results should look like:
Don’t forget to check back in a couple days for the solution.
Talk to you soon,
