MDX for getting data for last 7 or 15 days

This is a very common requirement in most of organizations where they want to analyze the sum of last 7 or 15 days data and if you are asked to write MDX for such requirements then you can write your MDX in the following way;

MDX for getting the SUM of last 7 days.


WITH
  MEMBER [Measures].[Sum Of Last 7 Days] AS
    Sum
    (
      {
          [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember.Lag(6)
        :
          [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember
      }
     ,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
    )
SELECT
  {
    [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
   ,[Measures].[Sum Of Last 7 Days]
  } ON COLUMNS
FROM [Adventure Works]
WHERE
  [Date].[Calendar].[Date].&[20070827];

MDX for getting the SUM of last 15 days.

WITH
  MEMBER [Measures].[Sum Of Last 15 Days] AS
    Sum
    (
      {
          [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember.Lag(14)
        :
          [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember
      }
     ,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
    )
SELECT
  {
    [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
   ,[Measures].[Sum Of Last 15 Days]
  } ON COLUMNS
FROM [Adventure Works]
WHERE
  [Date].[Calendar].[Date].&[20070827];

You can use above MDX for getting the sum of last any number of days by just changing the value of Index in .Lag(Index) function.

  1. Hi Aniruddha,

    In this example you hardcode the date and the lag index into the MDX query. Is there a way of controlling the two by a input paramater?

    Thanks
