Filtering measures by indirectly related dimensions in MDX
I have lately started visiting the SQL Server MSDN Forums and trying to answer some questions about Analysis Services and Reporting Services. One of the questions about MDX queries seems to get repeated quite often and I will try to address it in this post, so hopefully more people will get to read this rather than ask about it on MSDN.
The actual question takes the form of:
"I have Dimension A and Dimension B, related to Measure 1. Dimension B is also related to Measure 2. How can I (is it possible to) get the values for Measure 1 filtered/sliced by Dimension A. I know it is easy to achieve with a join in SQL, but I do not know how to do it with MDX.
