    Question MDX help! How to group by measure value ranges and use these groups in columns

    I have a salesman dimension and sales fact table and some data as below:
    salesman sales_amount
    -----------------------------
    Mike $200
    Phil $5
    John $280
    Jessica $550

    I'd like MDX query result as below:

    sales_range Count
    -------------------------
    <$100 1
    $100-$500 2
    >$500 1

    The sales_range (<$100, $100-$500 and >$500) are fixed and hard-coded and never needed to be changed. And I can do dimension/fact table or cube changes for this if needed.

    Please help! How to write MDX query for this?

    Any input will be highly appreciated! Thanks!

    Ideas ...

    While there are numerous approaches, a "quick and dirty" might be to create a calculated member for each of the "value buckets" you itemize, and then to run a query to "count," versus sum them, juxtaposed against the sales people in the row axis, etc.

    Let me know if I can assist / suggest further. If you need a working example, we can try, between us, to render one via the Adventure Works sample.

    HTH,

    Bill
