Yet another cube formula question... In Excel 2010, no powerpivot or olap pivottable extensions, this is a pure Excel project.
I am building various cubeset, cubemember, and cubevalue formulas to validate an ETL process.
Question:
I need to create a cubeset that only returns the members of a cube that have positive values for a specific measure. This cubeset will then be one of several cubesets that gets fed into a cubevalue formula that would otherwise exceed the 255 char limit.
I can create a cubeset for the overall measure:
=CUBESET("MyCube","[Measures].[RetailPrice]")
but haven't found the right syntax for limiting results to only those that have positive values, I think it would be something like:
=CUBESET("MyCube","FILTER[Measures].[RetailPrice],[Measures].[RetailPrice]>0")
This syntax actually doesn't return an error, so maybe it is valid syntax... but when I wrap it in a simple cubevalue statement,
=CUBEVALUE("MyCube", A2) where A2 is the Cubeset above, or if I also add date range and other filters,
I get a #Value error, indicating that "the tuple is invalid" per http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/excel-help/cubevalue-function-HA010342391.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HA010342384
I'm still a newbie with the cubeformula syntax and MDX, so I appreciate any suggestions!
