Problem
Does anyone have an idea how you could override the format string on a row with a format string on a column?
I have a query like the following:
The ROH Count row is properly formatted as an integer, with the exception of the MTD vs. Prev. MTD % column, which is properly formatted as a percentage.
The problem is the ROH Total Sold Gross row, where all columns are formatted as currency.
Has anyone done anything like this before?
I have a query like the following:
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[ROH Total Sold Gross] AS [Measures].[ROH Total Sold Dollars] - [Measures].[ROH Total Sold Cost], FORMAT_STRING='Currency'
MEMBER [ClosedDate].[Date].[MTD] AS AGGREGATE([ClosedDate].[Date].[2017-07-01]:[ClosedDate].[Date].[2017-07-31])
MEMBER [ClosedDate].[Date].[PrevMTD] AS AGGREGATE([ClosedDate].[Date].[2017-06-01]:[ClosedDate].[Date].[2017-06-30])
MEMBER [ClosedDate].[Date].[MTD vs. Prev. MTD] AS [ClosedDate].[Date].[MTD] - [ClosedDate].[Date].[PrevMTD]
MEMBER [ClosedDate].[Date].[MTD vs. Prev. MTD %] AS [ClosedDate].[Date].[MTD vs. Prev. MTD] / [ClosedDate].[Date].[MTD], FORMAT_STRING='Percent'
SELECT
{
[ClosedDate].[Date].[MTD],
[ClosedDate].[Date].[PrevMTD],
[ClosedDate].[Date].[MTD vs. Prev. MTD],
[ClosedDate].[Date].[MTD vs. Prev. MTD %]
} ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY
{
[Measures].[ROH Count],
[Measures].[ROH Total Sold Gross]
} ON ROWS

Solution
After doing a bit more research, I found that the
The following code worked for me:
SOLVE_ORDER member property can get SSAS to use the format string from the MTD vs. Prev. MTD % member.The following code worked for me:
MEMBER [ClosedDate].[Date].[MTD vs. Prev. MTD %] AS
[ClosedDate].[Date].[MTD vs. Prev. MTD] / [ClosedDate].[Date].[MTD],
FORMAT_STRING='Percent', SOLVE_ORDER=1Code Snippets
MEMBER [ClosedDate].[Date].[MTD vs. Prev. MTD %] AS
[ClosedDate].[Date].[MTD vs. Prev. MTD] / [ClosedDate].[Date].[MTD],
FORMAT_STRING='Percent', SOLVE_ORDER=1Context
