For help with percentiles and other statistical functions check

http://www.dsslab.com/MDXSolutions.h...Statistics.doc

I believe percentiles are covered in the document.

Hi,

We're hopeing to do some analyses using Percentiles within Analyses
Services.

On a dataset of drug compounds. example below:

Compd Type Route TimeTakenToBringToMarket
-------- ---- ------ -----------------------------
C1 NCE BM 106days
C2 NCE BM 210days
C3 NME IV 300days
C4 NCE IV 100days
C5 NME BM 50days

In this example my cube dimensions would be Type & Route

I want to be able to use the Excel Percentiles function server side to
give
my cube the facility to produce the 5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 95th
percentiles
by dimension.

The documentation says you can use Excel functions within a calculated
member, but not how to set it up.

Any thoughts or examples?

Cheers

Andy

Sean,

That's great, really confusing as I'm not a statistician, but great!

Thanks

Andy

One thing funky about that article is it says to add a column containing a 1
to the physical fact table. That can be done in a view instead.
