##  What is MDX?   #####
######################## -->
<h3>What is MDX?<a name="What_is_MDX">&nbsp;</a></h3>

<p>MDX stands for 'multi-dimensional expressions'. It is the main query language implemented by Mondrian.</p>

<p>MDX was introduced by Microsoft with Microsoft SQL Server OLAP Services in around 1998, as the language component of the OLE DB for OLAP API. More recently, MDX has appeared as part of the XML for Analysis API. Microsoft proposed MDX as a standard, and its adoption among application writers and other OLAP providers is steadily increasing.</p>

<!-- 
####################################
##  What is the syntax of MDX? #####
#################################### -->
<h3>What is the syntax of MDX?<a name="What_is_the_syntax_of_MDX">&nbsp;</a></h3>

<p>A basic MDX query looks like this:</p>

<blockquote><code>
SELECT {[Measures].[Unit Sales], [Measures].[Store Sales]} ON COLUMNS,<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;{[Product].members} ON ROWS<br />
FROM [Sales]<br />
WHERE [Time].[1997].[Q2]
</code></blockquote>

<p>It looks a little like SQL, but don't be deceived! The structure of an MDX query is quite different from SQL.</p>

<p>Since MDX is a standard language, we don't cover its syntax here. (The Microsoft SQL Server site has an <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms145506.aspx" target="_blank" class="included_content_links">Multidimensional Expression (MDX) Referene</a>; there's also a <a href="http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/10894_1495511_2" target="_blank" class="included_content_links">good tutorial</a> in Database Journal.) This specification describes the differences between Mondrian's dialect and the standard dialect of MDX.</p>
<!-- 
###############################
##  Mondrian-specific MDX #####
############################### -->
<h3>Mondrian-specific MDX<a name="Mondrian_specific_MDX">&nbsp;</a></h3>

<h1>StrToSet and StrToTuple<a name="StrToSet_and_StrToTuple">&nbsp;</a></h1>

<p>The <code>StrToSet()</code> and <code>StrToTuple()</code> functions take an extra parameter.</p>

<h1>Parsing<a name="Parsing">&nbsp;</a></h1>

<p>Parsing is case-sensitive.</p>

<h1>Parameters<a name="Parameters">&nbsp;</a></h1>

<p>Pseudo-functions <code>Parameter()</code> and <code>ParamRef()</code> allow you to create parameterized MDX statements.</p>

<p>A call to the <code>Parameter</code> function defines a parameter's name, 
data type and default value. A parameter always has a default value (it makes 
life simpler for the UI). If the parameter is a member, then the data type is 
the name of a hierarchy that the parameter must belong to. This metadata 
potentially allows a user interface to generate a list of values for the 
parameter.</p>

<p>The purpose of the <code>ParamRef</code> function is if you want to define a 
parameter once and use it several times in the same query. You could use 
Parameter several times but you'd have to make sure the definitions (data type, 
default value) are identical otherwise mondrian would complain.</p>

<p>The olap4j API supports parameters as you would expect. Once you've prepared 
a statement, you can call <code>PreparedOlapStatement.getParameterMetaData()</code>. 
This returns an
<a href="http://www.olap4j.org/api/org/olap4j/OlapParameterMetaData.html">
OlapParameterMetaData</a>, which is a subclass of the JDBC
<code>ParameterMetaData</code> object.</p>

<h4>Cast operator<a name="Cast_operator">&nbsp;</a></h4>

<p>The Cast operator converts scalar expressions to other types. The syntax is</p>
<blockquote>
	<p><code>Cast(&lt;Expression&gt; AS &lt;Type&gt;)</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>where &lt;Type&gt; is one of:</p>
<ul>
	<li>BOOLEAN</li>
	<li>NUMERIC</li>
	<li>INTEGER</li>
	<li>STRING</li>
</ul>
<p>For example,</p>
<blockquote>
	<p><code>Cast([Store].CurrentMember.[Store Sqft], INTEGER)</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>returns the value of the <code>[Store Sqft]</code> property as an integer 
value.</p>

<h3><code>IN</code> and <code>NOT IN</code><a name="In">&nbsp;</a></h3>

<p><code>IN</code> and <code>NOT IN</code> are Mondrian-specific functions.
For example:</p>

<blockquote>
    <code>SELECT {[Measures].[Unit Sales]} ON COLUMNS,<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FILTER([Product].[Product Family].MEMBERS,<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[Product].[Product Family].CurrentMember NOT IN<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{[Product].[All Products].firstChild,<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[Product].[All Products].lastChild}) ON ROWS<br/>
FROM [Sales]</code>
</blockquote>

<h3><code>MATCHES</code> and <code>NOT MATCHES</code><a name="Matches">&nbsp;</a></h3>

<p><code>MATCHES</code> and <code>NOT MATCHES</code> are Mondrian-specific
functions which compare a string with a <A href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html">Java regular expression</A>.
For example, the following query finds all employees whose name starts with 'sam' (case-insensitive):</p>

<blockquote>
    <code>SELECT {[Measures].[Org Salary]} ON COLUMNS,<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Filter({[Employees].MEMBERS},<br/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[Employees].CurrentMember.Name MATCHES '(?i)sam.*') ON ROWS<br/>
FROM [HR]</code>
</blockquote>

<p>The MATCHES operator takes a Java compliant regular expression syntax.
Mondrian can evaluate the MATCHES operator natively by pushing it down to the
underlying RDBMS. Not all dialects support the evaluation of regular expressions,
and most do not support the full extent of the Java syntax. Mondrian
relies on the database dialect SPI to convert Java regular expressions into
something the database can understand. If the database does not support regular
expressions, Mondrian will evaluate the results in memory, using the full
Java compliant syntax.</p>

<!--
#######################
##  VBA functions #####
####################### -->
<h3>Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) functions<a name="VBA_functions">&nbsp;</a></h3>

<p>Since the first implementation of MDX was as part of Microsoft SQL Server 
OLAP Services, the language inherited the built-in functions available in that 
environment, namely the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) specification. This 
specification includes functions for conversion (CBool, CInt, IsNumber), 
arithmetic (Tan, Exp), finance (NPer, NPV), and date/time (DatePart, Now). Even 
though Mondrian cannot interface with Visual Basic, it includes a large number 
of VBA functions to allow MDX queries written in a Microsoft environment to run 
unchanged.</p>
<p>This document describes which VBA functions are available in mondrian; for 
more detailed descriptions of all VBA functions, see Visual Basic Functions. 
Note that that document includes some VBA functions which are not implemented in 
mondrian.</p>
<h3>Comments<a name="Comments">&nbsp;</a></h3>

<p>MDX statements can contain comments. There are 3 syntactic forms for comments:</p>

<blockquote><p>
// End-of-line comment
</p></blockquote>


<blockquote><p>
-- End-of-line comment
</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>
/* Multi-line<br />
   comment */
</p></blockquote>

<p>Comments can be nested, for example</p>

<blockquote><p>
/* Multi-line<br />
   comment /* Comment within a comment */ <br />
 */
</p></blockquote>
<!-- 
########################
##  Format Strings #####
######################## -->
<h3>Format Strings<a name="Format_strings">&nbsp;</a></h3>

<p>Every member has a FORMAT_STRING property, which affects how its raw value is rendered into text in the user interface. For example, the query</p>

<blockquote><code>
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Profit] AS '([Measures].[Store Sales] - [Measures].[Store Cost])',<br />
  FORMAT_STRING = "$#,###.00"<br />
SELECT {[Measures].[Store Sales], [Measures].[Profit]} ON COLUMNS,<br />
  {[Product].CurrentMember.Children} ON ROWS<br />
FROM [Sales]
</code></blockquote>

<p>yields cells formatted in dollar and cent amounts.</p>

<p>Members defined in a schema file can also have format strings. Measures use the formatString attribute:</p>

<blockquote><code>
&lt;Measure name="Store Sales" column="store_sales" aggregator="sum" formatString="#,###.00"/&gt;
</code></blockquote>

<p>and calculated members use the &lt;CalculatedMemberProperty&gt; sub-element:</p>

<blockquote><code>
&lt;CalculatedMember name="Profit" dimension="Measures" formula="[Measures].[Store Sales] - [Measures].[Store Cost]"&gt;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;CalculatedMemberProperty name="FORMAT_STRING" value="$#,##0.00"/&gt;<br />
&lt;/CalculatedMember&gt;
</code></blockquote>

<p>Format strings use Visual Basic formatting syntax; see <a href="api/mondrian/util/Format.html" class="included_content_links" target="_blank">class mondrian.util.Format</a> for more details.</p>

<p>A measure's format string is usually a fixed string, but is really an expression, which is evaluated in the same context as the cell. You can therefore change the formatting of a cell depending upon the cell's value.</p>

<p>The format string can even contain 'style' attributes which are interpreted specially by JPivot. If present, JPivot will render cells in color.</p>

<p>The following example combines a dynamic formula with style attributes. The result is that cells are displayed with green background if they are less than $100,000, or a red background if they are greater than $100,000:</p>

<blockquote><code>
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Profit] AS<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'([Measures].[Store Sales] - [Measures].[Store Cost])',<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;FORMAT_STRING = Iif([Measures].[Profit] < 100000, '|#|style=green', '|#|style=red')<br />
SELECT {[Measures].[Store Sales], [Measures].[Profit]} ON COLUMNS,<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;{[Product].CurrentMember.Children} ON ROWS<br />
FROM [Sales]
</code></blockquote>

<!-- 
#######################
##  Order of Sets #####
####################### -->
<h3>Order of sets</h3>

<p>MDX sets are ordered and may contain duplicates. (Both of these properties are
at odds with the mathematical definition of 'set', so it would have been
better if they were called 'lists', but we're stuck with the term 'set'.)</p>

<p>For most functions that return sets, Microsoft's documentation for
SQL Server Analysis Services 2008 (the <i>de facto</i> MDX standard)
does not specify the order of elements in the result set, and one might
assume that MDX server could return the results in any order and still
comply with the standard. However, Mondrian's implementation of MDX gives
stronger guarantees: a function's result set will be in the obvious order.</p>

<p>For most functions, the definition of 'obvious' is obvious,
so we won't spell it out in detail.
For example, <code>Filter</code> returns elements in the same order as the set expression;
<code>Crossjoin</code> returns the results in the order of the first set expression, then within
that, by the second second expression. Similarly <code>Generate</code>,
<code>Union</code>, <code>Except</code>. The sorting
functions (<code>Order</code>, <code>TopCount</code>, <code>BottomCount</code>, <code>
TopPercent</code>, <code>Hierarchize</code>, etc.) use a
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm#Stability">stable</a>
sorting algorithm. Metadata methods such as <code>&lt;Hierarchy&gt;.Members</code>
return their results in natural order.</p>

<p>If you do not care about the order of results of a set expression
(say because you are sorting the results later),
wrap the expression the <code>Unorder</code> function,
and mondrian may be able to use a more efficient algorithm
that does not guarantee order.</p>
