Named sets can simplify calculations greatly. But it is only evaluated
at time it is parsed. Is there a way to have named set evaluated at
time of reference?

If not, is there another mechanism for that? Can alias be saved in
cube and referenced in calculations?

Any improvements made for named sets in Yukon?

You can use the StrToSet function to force evaluation at calculation time
Be aware of performance impact, though

Brian,

Did you mean SetToStr? If not, how would you use StrToSet? In named sets
or in calculated members referencing named sets?

Would you provide a simple MDX sample code? I am new to MDX syntax...

Thanks,

Bo

After digging a little more, I found I've used this technique for sets defined within MDX queries (With set), not named sets
Sorry, my mistake
