Calculated Members Calculated Members Members can be defined within the cube definition, as part of the definition of a level. You can also create calculated members, which are typically based on other members. You can define calculated members in two ways: Within the WITH clause of a query. The member is available within the rest of the query, but is not available in other queries. Within the CREATE MEMBER statement. The member is available within the rest of the session (for example, within the rest of the session in the MDX shell).
