looking for good documentation and examples on XML+MDX in Universe BW-query

[Former Member]

Hope you guys and girls can help, because I starting to feel like Iu2019m in the Monty Python's Holy Grail movie.

And if Iu2019m not careful Iu2019ll become the black night

I'm used to having a relation database to work with so now dealing with a BW-query is something completely different.

So who can and wants to help??

I've been searching on the information highway and have found the (standard) examples on expressions for calculated measure, operator values and filter keys.

But I'm interested in other examples and documentation in how the xml and mdx can be applied in a universe.

When you create a new object, you get this fun list with function under select but... how to use them???

Do I research the mdx statement and then just put it between expression-tags??

Any information-link on this is greatly appreciated.

ISBN and\or book titles are also more than welcome.

Your time taken to read this is already greatly appreciated.

Contributions even more

I happen to find it yesterday afternoon but this is what i'm looking for.

But are we stuck with filters and calculated keygfigures only??

What about manipulation the dimension?

Or is that really the holy grail in universes on BW?

But superdoc, thank you

It is the limitation of the universe built on SAP BW that you can-not create objects with formulae which returns DATE or STRING.
