Selecting Ranges of Members of a Time Level
The system provides an extension to MDX that enables you to define a range of members, for a time level. This extension is the %TIMERANGE function, which takes three arguments: a starting member, an ending member, and a keyword (either the default INCLUSIVE or EXCLUSIVE). You can om.it either but not both ends of the range
The following example uses both ends of the range:
SELECT NON EMPTY DateOfSale.YearSold.MEMBERS ON 1 FROM holefoods
WHERE %TIMERANGE(DateOfSale.YearSold.&[2009],DateOfSale.YearSold.&[2011])
me
1 2009 179
2 2010 203
3 2011 224
The next example shows another open-ended range, this time using the EXCLUSIVE keyword:
SELECT NON EMPTY DateOfSale.YearSold.MEMBERS ON 1 FROM holefoods
WHERE %TIMERANGE(,DateOfSale.YearSold.&[2009],EXCLUSIVE)
1 2007 124
2 2008 156
