retrieve the value that occurs the most

Hi,

I am trying to retrieve the value that occurs the most at a dimension level. For example, I have to analyze the product type mostly used in a specific target segment by number of products.

The mathematical function normally used is MODE. However, in AS2005 there is not such function. I tried to use TopCount but it is not as easy as I thought.

Any suggestion?

Thanks!

As far as I know, TopCount should work.

This is a sample from Adventure Works:

with

set [TopCustomers] as

TOPCOUNT(

[Dim Customer].[Dim Customer].[Dim Customer].members,

1,

[Measures].[Sales Amount]

)

select {[Measures].[Sales Amount]} on 0,

[TopCustomers] on 1

from [Adventure Works DW]

Hope this helps,

Santi

|||I think TopCount would only get you a mode if you were to use it against a count measure. I am guessing that you want to find out which member from the product dimension has the most transactions against it for a given set of criteria. Depending on the granularity of your dimensions you may have difficulty doing this without having some sort of count measure.
