Author  Topic  italucia Starting Member 1 Post Posted - 2008-10-16 : 05:28:51 hi! i create the cube and the KPI successfuly. Now want to define the "trend" in MDX. the problem is the trend is not linear, but a quadradic function, which means the kpi target is the highest point in the function. In order to get the "trend expression", to get the "absolute value" is needed (as to measure how near to the target point). But i browsed the operators available, there is no ||. So ... sb. have idea on what i can do? Thanks abs function exists in fact
