Hi, I have a problem in using 2 measures with different levels, let me give you an example:

I have a measure "Money" in the folowing Dimensions: Company, and Store. And another measure "sales" that is only in the level company.

The next step is to make that the measure "Sales" be the same one (the one that is on the top level that is company) on the Dimension store.

like this:


Company Store Money Sales
----------------------------------------
1 1 100 200
1 2 75 200
1 3 45 200
1 4 32 200
1 TOTAL 252 200

I'm using OLAP Cubes, I've Created two regular cubes: one with the information for the money measure (with dim's company and store) and the other one with the information for the sales (with the dimension for company).

And then I created a Virtual Cube from the first ones, in order to have the same information levels from the cubes. The problem is that the information for the measure Sales is null when you see it through the dim Store.

For the Cognos users is like using two separated sources with different levels of information and use the property to make one measure to be constant in one atribute in particular.

thanks,

 
Let me explain this question better:

I need to have this in a virtual cube so I can make an calculated member that have this structure:

[Measures].[Money]/[Measures].[Sales] *100

in order to make a percentage value. Is there a way to say in MDX Structure that the Money mesures will make the division for the parent level?

thanks,
