Hi,

I have a member 2015 and its children has 12 months , july 2014- Jun 2015

I dont have Q1, Q2,Q3 and Q4 in my model ,but for reporting I need to show the quarters.

How do I achieve this,

I will have four data items Q1 , Q2, Q3 and Q4
What should the calculation of Q1 be ?
lastperiods(children([2015]) ---something like this..Any suggestions


Thanks,
Nithya

I'm confused as to why you would have months in 2014 under a year member of 2015, but if this is truly the case, you could achieve as follows:

lastPeriods (3,item(descendants([2015],[Cube].[Hiearchy].[Level].[Month Level]),2))

This would give you July- Sept 2014 given your breakdown above.  Hope this helps.

Thanks godawgs85,

I will check if this would work. Mine is a fiscal year so Fy 2015 will have months from jul 2014 to jun 2015.

Thanks,
