I have built my first cube and I believe it is setup properly but I am having hard time wrapping my mind around how to report some data.My cube is based on admissions to a university and I would like to build a report that compares applications to date for a specific term and compare it to another term based on the same date last year. Example, Dec 5, 2013|2014Fall and Dec, 5, 2012|2013Fall. The users should be able to pick the 2 terms and at least 1 date. I have tried to build an MDX script to test this with hard-coded values but I am having problems getting the dates to work from essentially the beginning of time to the specified date and summarizing the data by term. Ultimately, some end users will be getting this data in a canned report through SSRS and some will be using Excel to slice and dice the data. However, each instance requires this flexibility. Am I going down the wrong path with the MDX script since I will be using Excel and SSRS? If yes, then how is the reporting requirement performed in Excel and SSRS?Thanks
