  <CalculatedMember name="Arrow Unit Sales" dimension="Measures">
    <Formula>[Measures].[Unit Sales]</Formula>
    <CalculatedMemberProperty name="FORMAT_STRING" expression="IIf([Measures].[Unit Sales] > 10000,'|#,###|arrow=up',IIf([Measures].[Unit Sales] > 5000,'|#,###|arrow=down','|#,###|arrow=none'))" />
  </CalculatedMember>

Since you are using an MDX expression to do conditional formatting, you should specify the expression via a member property as shown above.  I think the formatString is treated as a string literal and not actually evaluated as an MDX expression.

I came down on the side of TPC-DS because it seemed more meaty as a data model and there was code to support it, even if it wasn’t finished or actively used as a TPC benchmark.
SSB is based on a modified TPC-H benchmark.  In general, it generates the TPC-H data denormalized.  I'd think that the SSB could easily be extended to make a separate Orders fact (a level above line items) that should zero balance with lineitems but allow for virtual cube testing thru conformed dimensions.

I vaguely recall, but just googled and couldn't find a java based version of TPCH from the OSU OSL lab @ sourceforge.  But, can't find anything on any search so I might be losing some marbles.

LucidDB (and firewater) would LOVE to have a java based version of the SSB generator!  In particular, we'd love to be able to access the generation via straight java because that could allow us to wrap it in Java and load directly from Java into LucidDB without generating/persisting intermediate huge files.

If you're genuinely interested in this, contact me and we can discuss if we can also add some guidance/help for your team.

Hi Jordan,

Many thanks for the feedback, which confirms my suspicions that a Hive Dialect for Mondrian is at least possible. I'm going to start by getting foodmart into hadoop to support the Mondrian test  suite via hive then progress onto the necessary changes to the Sql join statement.  I'll post updates to the specified jira.

You tweeted "Thinking of adding Hive dialect to Mondrian, too slow for add-hoc queries but would enable mdx reports against hadoop" on 11:21 AM Aug 22nd. This is an effort to give you a bit of heads up to some of the issues you'll encounter and the JIRA case with patches to Mondrian to get Hive working at a remedial level.  Research done by James Dixon, Sean Flatley and myself found the following issues when integrating Hive with Mondrian 3.1.6.13364.  We used our custom built Hive JDBC Driver[1] for testing:

We are working on implementing more functionality as needed to get Report Designer and Metadata Editor working well.  Our changes are being contributed back to the official Hive project but until they are accepted we're building our own version[1][2].

Hi,
I created some calculated members and want to apply conditional formatting.
To test my formatting, I wrote an MDX query and created a member with the
formatting string and all worked fine.
In Schema Workbench, I apply the formatString to the calculated member ...
and then when I check the results in JPivot online, I can see the
formatString instead of the values (but period signs etc is missing). I
opened the XML schema file in an editor and saw that workbench URL encodes
the formatstring.

If I just use a simple format like #0.00% all works fine. So I am wondering
as to why the iif statement is not working. What exactly am I doing wrong?

Here the code:
Iif(([Measures].[Index Revenues]<
-0.01),"|#0.00%|style='red'|arrow='down'",Iif(([Measures].[Index Revenues]<
0.01),"|#0.00%|style='yellow'|arrow='blank'","|#0.00%|style='green'|arrow='up'"))

Looks like this in the Schema:
<CalculatedMember name="Index Revenues" formatString="Iif(([Measures].[Index
Revenues]&#60;
-0.01),&#34;|#0.00%|style=&#39;red&#39;|arrow=&#39;down&#39;&#34;,Iif(([Measures].[Index
Revenues]&#60;
0.01),&#34;|#0.00%|style=&#39;yellow&#39;|arrow=&#39;blank&#39;&#34;,&#34;|#0.00%|style=&#39;green&#39;|arrow=&#39;up&#39;&#34;))"
formula="IIF([Date.Weekly Calendar].CurrentMember Is
Null,Null,([Measures].[act_revenues]-[Measures].[bdgt_revenues])/(Iif([Measures].[bdgt_revenues]&#60;0,[Measures].[bdgt_revenues]*-1,[Measures].[bdgt_revenues])))"
dimension="Measures" visible="true">
</CalculatedMember>

Thanks,
Diddy
