Title: Ranking Measures
Post by: bloopaman on 04 Mar 2011 05:20:09 PM
All,

I need help with the world's most idiotic crosstab requested from my boss.  I basically need to:

-Put a dimension on the rows of the crosstab
-List the top 5 highest measures in the nested rows of the crosstab
-Have a column for the rank of each measure (1-5), the value of that measure, and the % of that measures value within the dimension against ALL

I can use the measures like a dimension and use a a topCount, which gives me the nested rows and the value, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get any details about the measure which appears in the nested row.
