[Mondrian] Issues with Calculated Members...

[Matt Campbell]

Here's a query I just ran in Analysis Services.  If a member is defined on
dimension it has 0 children, and it's parent is *not* All.  It's level
ordinal is 0.

The other way to define a calculated member is to attach it to another
member.  The second set of members in my query has a calculated member
attached to "All Gender".  In that case it's parent *is* all and it's
ordinal is 1.  It still has 0 children, but now has 2 siblings.


with
 member gender.calculated as 'gender.m'
member  gender.[All Gender].calculated as 'gender.m'
member measures.countChildren as 'gender.calculated.children.Count'
member measures.parentIsAll as 'gender.calculated.Parent IS gender.[All
Gender]'
member measures.levelOrdinal as 'gender.calculated.Level.Ordinal'

member measures.definedOnAllLevelOrdinal as 'gender.[all
gender].calculated.Level.Ordinal'
member measures.definedOnAllLevelParentIsAll as 'gender.[all
gender].calculated.Parent IS gender.[All Gender]'
member measures.definedOnAllLevelChildren as 'gender.[all
gender].calculated.Children.Count'
member measures.definedOnAllLevelSiblings as 'gender.[all
gender].calculated.Siblings.Count'

select { measures.[countChildren],   -- returns 0
          measures.parentIsAll,   -- returns 0
     measures.levelOrdinal,  -- returns 0
  measures.definedOnAllLevelOrdinal,  -- returns 1
  measures.definedOnAllLevelParentIsAll,   -- returns 1
measures.definedOnAllLevelChildren,  -- returns 0
 measures.definedOnAllLevelSiblings   -- returns 2
 } on 0 from sales
