BUG #: 13436 (Plato7x)



SYMPTOMS
If a calculated member references another calculated member that uses the Distinct Count Multidimensional Expression (MDX) function, and the DistinctCount calculated member is not included in the MDX query, the values returned by the calculated member may have zero values. For example: CalcMeasureA definition 'DistinctCount( CalcMeasureB definition ' iif([Measures].[CalcMeasureA]=0 OR [Measures].[CalcMeasureA]= NULL OR Is Empty([Measures].[CalcMeasureA]), 0, [Measures].[SalesAmount]/[Measures].[CalcMeasureA])' If CalcMeasureB is included in a query but CalcMeasureA is not, then the value may be 0 for all CalcMeasureB cells.



CAUSE
A problem with the DistinctCount function in the MDX.
