Hello,
I have the following challenge.
We have a rent schedule with 4 columns ie. startdate, enddata, maturingprincipal and Total due column.
Normaly this rent schedule has a date grain MONTH. my dimDate hyarchie goes from Year->Month.
so basicly for each month we see a maturing principal which is fine. Startdate<->Datevalue of DimDate.
The challenge is as follows:
We have now a rent schedule with date grain Quarter. ie the from and end date per record is for example
record(1): 01/03/2013 up to incl 31/05/2013.
record(2): 01/06/2013 up to incl 31/08/2013.
because i point the dimdate to the startdate i only see this record in OLAP for 01/03/2013 and for 01/06/2013 which is as expected.
But my question is: Is there a way in OLAP by means of a calculated member to show the intermediate months like 01/04/2013, 01/05/2013 with a running sum for maturing principal.
In short i would like to breakdown the quarterly schedule in OLAP to a month grain level. Doing this in SQL is not working and is very time consuming (ie dividing the quarter to day level and roll up to month) so i was wondering if OLAP can support this.
Current situation:
