Rounding of calculated measure in MDX

Question

How can i round a calculated mdx measure up to the nearest integer without having Excel on the server? The Excel-function is CEILING(number, significance), but it is not possible to install Excel on the production ssas-server.

Answer 1

If this is a Microsoft situation, you can use any VBA functions in your MDX to fiddle with strings or numbers. So Round(xxxxxx, 2) would work.

Answer 2

For the Floor function try Int function like:

Int([Measures].[Store Sales])

For the Ceiling function try Int + 1

IIF(([Measures].[Store Sales]) - Int([Measures].[Store Sales]) = 0, [Measures].[Store Sales], Int([Measures].[Store Sales]) + 1)
