Dear Experts I have a situation here ...

I have a Lineitem Dimension which has two members. For example
1.Sales
2.Standard Cost/Unit

Now i have created a new calculated member attached to the Lineitem Dimension called
3.Budget Sales = Sales * Standard Cost


Here is the Source Data
Time Sales Standard Cost/Unit
Aug 2003 200 5
Sep 2003 300 2


This is What i get as a result when the values get rolled up across time dimension

Time Budget Sales
->2003
->Q3 3500 (Wrong)(Should be 700)
->Aug 100 (200 * 5)
->Sep 600 (300 * 2)

The problem is 3500 $ which is (200+300) * (5+7) . By default the cube rollup aggregation is
set to SUM which sums up the Lineitems Sales,Standard Cost/Unit before it multiplies at Q3 level.


Is there any solution to get around this issue. I have tried custom rollup etc but that affects
only one dimension.The aggegation should come clean across all the dimension. Please help.



 
look into Calculated Cells. The SQL BOL documentation on them isn't the greatest and they can be a bit difficult to get used to.
