Explanation

LastPeriods (MDX) SQL Server 2008 R2 Other Versions Returns a set of members up to and including a specified Syntax LastPeriods(Index [ ,Member_Expression ] ) Arguments Index - A valid numeric expression that specifies a number of periods. Member_Expression - A valid Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) expression that returns a member. If the specified number of periods is positive, the LastPeriods function returns a set of members that start with the member that lags Index - 1 from the specified member expression, and ends with the specified member. The number of members returned by the function is equal to Index. If the specified number of periods is negative, the LastPeriods function returns a set of members that start with the specified member and ends with the member that leads (- Index - 1) from the specified member. The number of members returned by the function is equal to the absolute value of Index. If the specified number of periods is zero, the LastPeriods function returns the empty set. This is unlike the Lag function, which returns the specified member if 0 is specified. If a member is not specified, the LastPeriods function uses Time.CurrentMember. If no dimension is marked as a Time dimension, the function will parse and execute without an error, but will cause a cell error in the client application. The following example returns the default measure value for the second third, and fourth fiscal quarters of fiscal year 2002. SELECT LastPeriods(3,[Date].[Fiscal].[Fiscal Quarter].[Q4 FY 2002]) ON 0 FROM [Adventure This example can also be written using the : (colon) operator: [Date].[Fiscal].[Fiscal Quarter].[Q4 FY 2002]: [Date].[Fiscal].[Fiscal Quarter].[Q2 FY 2002] The following example returns the default measure value for the first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2002. Although the specified number of periods is three, only one can be returned because there are no earlier periods in the fiscal year. SELECT LastPeriods (3,[Date].[Fiscal].[Fiscal Quarter].[Q1 FY 2002] ) ON 0 FROM [Adventure Works]
