    MDX help! Max then Sum on different sets

    I have data like:

    Dimension1: system_name
    Dimension2: function_name
    Measure: value1

    system_name function_name value1
    -------------------------------------------------
    system1 function1 2
    system1 function1 10
    system1 function3 3
    system2 function3 8
    system2 function4 7.1

    First, I'd like to group by system_name and function_name to get maximum of value1 on each group. Then I want to sum these maximum values group by only system_name.

    Step 1: group by system_name and function_name to get maximum of value1 on each group

    system_name function_name max_value1
    -------------------------------------------------
    system1 function1 10
    system1 function3 3
    system2 function3 8
    system2 function4 7.1

    Step 2: sum these maximum values group by only system_name.
    system_name max_value1
    -------------------------------------------------
    system1 (10+3)
    system2 (8+7.1)

    I already add a calculated measure max_values into the cube for maximum on value1 so that I can do the first step. But how to do both steps in one MDX query? Please Help! I can do any dimension/fact table or cube changes if needed for this.

    Any input / idea will be highly appreciated! Thanks!

    Hope I Understand the Requirement ...

    Simply create a fresh calculated member (better, here, than derived upon the first calculated member) to do the second summing, and then call both within the column / row axis of the query.

    Does that make sense?
