First I'd like to say I'm completely ignorant when it comes to I OLAP/MDX
concepts, I'm a transactional guy, so please bear with me.. I have a pretty
simple question, I think.. I have a calculated member that uses an expression
that calls the ClosingPeriod function, I read the documentation and kind of
follow the purpose of the function but am a little confused about syntax..
Here's the expression.

(ClosingPeriod([Calendar Year Month], [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember),
[Measures].[Monaco Inventory Units])

There appears to be two function calls at play here, one to ClosingPeriod
and another (implicit call..??) to something else... So here's the call to
ClosingPeriod..
ClosingPeriod([Calendar Year Month], [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember), then
here's the call to the other function..

("return value of ClosingPeriod", [Measures].[Monaco Inventory Units])

Is this an implied function call...? What are the parameters and where can I
find the documentation about this...?

Thanks,

Dan

There is only one function in your case that is ClosingPeriod() which return
your time dimension member

The (closingperiod(), [Measures].[]) is the tuple expression which is
heavily used in the MDX. The above expression returns the measure for the
time period determined by closingPeriod().
