Sum (MDX)

  • Artykuł

Returns the sum of a numeric expression evaluated over a specified set.

Syntax

Sum( Set_Expression [ , Numeric_Expression ] )

Arguments

  • Set_Expression
    A valid Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) set expression.
  • Numeric_Expression
    A valid numeric expression that is typically a Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) expression of cell coordinates that return a number.

Remarks

If a numeric expression is specified, the specified numeric expression is evaluated across the set and then summed. If a numeric expression is not specified, the specified set is evaluated in the current context of the members of the set and then summed. If the SUM function is applied to a non-numeric expression, the results are undefined.

Note

Analysis Services ignores nulls when calculating the sum of a set of numbers.

   ( { [Date].[Calendar Year].&[2001]
         , [Date].[Calendar Year].&[2002] }
      , [Measures].[Reseller Sales Amount]
    )
