Mdx Drillthrough Fails But Select Can Be Successfully Executed

I have the following MDX query which succesfully returns the measure when executed - SELECT {[Measures].[Closed Quote OE Retail]} ON COLUMNS FROM Sales WHERE ( [Posting Date].[D

Solution 1:

Looks like MDX doesn't like DRILLTHROUGH when you have multiple members of the same dimension in the Select - in this case, on your slicer dimension. It also appears you can trick it by doing a sub-select, but I would verify the totals pretty carefully before relying on this solution.

SELECT  
{[Measures].[Closed Quote OE Retail]} ON COLUMNS 
FROM 
(
  Select 
  (
    [Posting Date].[Date YQMD].[Month].&[11]&[2012]
    ,[Work Provider].[Code].[LV]
    ,EXCEPT([Item].[by Item Category by Product Group].[Item Category], 
      [Item].[by Item Category by Product Group].[Item Category].&[OEM])
    ,EXCEPT([Lost Sale Reason Code].[Code].[Code], 
      [Lost Sale Reason Code].[Code].[All Lost Sale Reason Code].UNKNOWNMEMBER)
    ,EXCEPT([Lost Sale Reason Code].[by MI Type].[MI Type], 
      { [Lost Sale Reason Code].[by MI Type].[MI Type].&[Not Justified] }
  ) on 0
From Sales)
