Newbie question:

The "Category" Hierarchy has two levels. I want to show both the Category and Sub-Category as my rows. It's easy to check these levels in a Pivot Table, but how do I get both to show up using MDX?



I'm using the syntax:
{[Category].[MainCategory].members, [Category].[SubCategory].members } on rows

But when I parse the return set I only get the members from the Section level.

Is it my MDX or my parsing algorithm that's wrong here?
 
Hey,

it's better if you user function descendants.
You can define which levels you want to show.
Check out help and there is a good example!

Bye,
Andrej
 
The following should be what your looking for.
Code:
Descendants({[Category].[MainCategory], [Category].[SubCategory],SELF_AND_AFTER)
