Grand Total not correct..

Hey guys,

got a strange problem happening and wondering if anyone can help me..

I have added a calculated member which calculates an amount from a percentage of sales. Only certain customers get this rebate..

([Measures].[Sales Amount] / 100) * [Measures].[DMF Percentage]

When i run the report., the calculation works, but the grand total does not add up at all.. See Below: (sorry for the long post)

The total it is showing is $2,888,196.60, where if i add up all the individial ones, the total is $60,393.99

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks

Scotty

A calculated measure won't automatically aggregate like a regular measure. The MDX expression could be re-written to roll up from individual customers. Could you describe [Measures].[DMF Percentage] - if it is a regular cube measure on a different measure group than [Sales Amount], you might be able to create a new cube measure, using a Measure Expression?|||

Hey Deepak,

Thanks for the explantion.

the dmf percantage is just a regular cube measure from a different measure group (DMF)

I would be thankful if you could explain how to create a new cube measure using a measure expression..

thanks a lot,,

Create a named calculation on the [Sales Amount] fact table like [DMF Value]: [Sales Amount] / 100. Then add a new "sum" measure: [DMF Value] on this named calculation field, defining its Measure Expression as: [Measures].[DMF Value] * [Measures].[DMF Percentage].

Deepak,
