Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) is a query language for online analytical processing (OLAP) using a database management system. Much like SQL, it is a query language for OLAP cubes.

Question Elisa Pischedda · Nov 11, 2025

Hi everyone, on HealthShare Unified Care Record 2024.1.0 Build, we're using the Analytics section to create a dashboard containing a time chart showing a cumulative curve of the number of documents indexed in the registry for each documentSource of each repository. We tried the following steps: we created a cube whose dimensions are the CreationDate, SourceValue, and repositoryUniqueID of the HS_Registry.Document table; in the Analytics section, we created a pivot table that lists the document creation date on each row, along with as many columns as each repository's documentSources.

Hi!
I have question about MDX functionality in context of IRIS Analytics.

How does IRIS MDX distinct selection works? Is there any restruqtion when analyzing strings? Like special symbols or length?
Here is an example
I have this data:
 6 rows and 2 of them unique
Then we create data cube based on this model and examine it with Analyzer
 
Detailed listing

6 rows an ONE unique string. Which is obviously not true. 
This happed only with string with symbols in it
My task is to get the right amount of unique strings

Hence the question: is there a way to do that?
The goal is to get data (from half a thousand to 3-4 thousands lines) from DB, calculate standart deviation  then use it as logical condition in analyzer. 
For example IF std > custom_value = show_the_result ELSE null
There is a STDDEV(MDX) method used in Analyzer but it is a measure and it can not be used as logical condition (correct me if i am wrong)

And there is a Embedded Python with numpy, but logic behind STDDEV(MDX) and numpy.

Hi All,

I'm looking to write a 3rd party front end for BI cubes and have been directed towards the REST API here: https://docs.intersystems.com/iris20222/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls…

I've had quick test using postman and can use those fine, the issue I have is that there are some areas of metadata not exposed by the api that are essential to write a front end tool. I can list the cubes and measures using the /INFO/ paths, but that seems to be the limit of what is available.

we have this container code where we want to create more CalcMember properties

So we need some syntax help how to use INLIST, NOTINLIST and CASE expressions. Anyone can help what should be the syntax for Expression to handle below 3 situations.
