Hi,

I have to show the top 10 dimension member based on a measure.
For example top customer by revenue.
In that case I have another dimension value, say the purchase location, which I should bring in the query with comma separated value.

example:

customer revenue purchase-location
cust1 10000$ city1,city2
How this should be handled in mdx query.

Please help me in resolving my issue.

Thanks in advance

Without knowing your dimensions, measure involved etc its hard to suggest
Only hint we can give with info is to use GENERATE() function

something like


WITH MEMBER LocationList
AS
GENERATE( 
[purchase-location dimensionname].[dimension field].MEMBERS,
[purchase-location dimensionname].[dimension field].CURRENTMEMBER.NAME, ",")

SELECT 
LocationList ON 0,
[purchase-location dimensionname].[dimension field].MEMBERS ON 1
FROM CubeName

replace the dimension name and fields in above query accordingly

Thanks Visakh.
I tried this already but the issue is, I'm also using a topcount on rows to bring the top revenue records. but this generate part is bringing all the purchase-location irrespective of the customer.

then create set first with topcount rows. Then apply generate over it to create the above member

I would like to ignore if it brings blank or null value. How should I do that?
