[SOLVED]Execute SQL passthrough MDX query?

Hey All,

Is it possible to execute a SQL passthrough MDX query to a Tabular model? I am using WF7703 and using a MFD built off the model works, but I'd like to use custom MDX for a particular situation.

Is this possible? I assume not based on this thread, but just double checking...

Thanks!

The Adapter doc doesn't say anything about passthru for SQL Server Analysis Services.

You can using OPENQUERY if this is SQL Server and SSAS.

Very old example:

ENGINE SQLMSS SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION IRDB
SQL SQLMSS
SELECT
CAST("[Account].[Level 03].[MEMBER_CAPTION]" AS varchar(50)) as ACCOUNT,
CAST("[Measures].[Amount]" AS float) as AMOUNT,
CAST("[Measures].[AmountSMLY]" AS float) as AMOUNTSMLY,
CAST("[Measures].[FiscalAmount]" AS float) as FISCALBALANCE,
CAST("[Measures].[FiscalAmountSMLY]" AS float) as FISCALBALANCESMLY,
CAST("[Measures].[COGS]" AS float) as COGS,
CAST("[Measures].[FiscalCOGS]" AS float) as FISCALCOGS

FROM openquery(OLAP_FINANCE,
'SELECT { [Measures].[Amount], [Measures].[AmountSMLY],
[Measures].[FiscalAmount], [Measures].[FiscalAmountSMLY], [Measures].[COGS], [Measures].[FiscalCOGS] } ON COLUMNS ,
{ [Account].[Profit and Loss].Children } ON ROWS
FROM [Finance]
WHERE ( [Dataset].[Actual],  [Time].[&LDATE1.EVAL] , [Site].&|[&SITE.EVAL]) 
');

TABLE ON TABLE HOLD AS MYOUT
END
