MDX - Sum values greater than then a median calculated measure I'm relatively new to SSAS / MDX. I have a cube with a calculated field which calculates the Median value for a range of prices.

MEDIAN( [DimItems].[Dim Items Id].CurrentMember.Children, [Measures].[Price] )


Included as a measure is a quantity field. I need to calculate the sum of that quantity field where the raw price is greater than, equal to, and less than the calculated Median price.

Take the following data:

Qty Price
183 $100
51  $114
420 $123
80  $137
12  $144
200 $147
51  $152


The Median price is $137. Therefore, to get the sum of the quantity where the Price is less than the Median, I need to sum up the following Qty values (183,51,420) since $100, $114, and $123 are all less than $137. The value of this summation is 654.

The problem is I have no idea how to do this. I cannot figure out how to compare a raw value (eg $114) with a Median value over a range (eg $137). Any help would be appreciated.
You need first to define a measure that will compte the median price across the siblings:

[Measures].[Siblings_median_price] 
AS 
MEDIAN([DimItems].[Dim Items Id].CurrentMember.Siblings, [Measures].[Price])


The following measure should return what you want:

[Measures].[Sum_below_median] 
AS 
SUM(
     [DimItems].[Dim Items Id].CurrentMember.Children
   , IIF([Measures].[Price] &lt; [Measures].[Siblings_median_price]
   , [Measures].[Quantity], Null)
)
