                                          | By which measure are you trying to find patients?I think you may need to remember that MDX is not SQL although it can look similar and that cubes do not store or display data in the same method as a RDBMS (Such as SQL). the data you look for in a cube is a slice by 3 dimensions, rather than a 2 dimensional flat model like an RDBMS.The measure is your way of getting dimensions with certain data.In principle, your MDX will be along the lines of: SELECT[Measure].[your measure] ON Rows, [Patient].[PatientID].[1], [Patient],[PatientName].MEMBER ..etc ON ColumnsFROM [cube]But I would definitely suggest picking up an MDX reference book if you are new to it. |
