ClosingPeriod

Returns the last descendant of a layer, or the last child of the Time dimension.

Syntax

ClosingPeriod ( [ layer [,member ]] )

Parameter	Description
layer	Layer specification.
member	Optional member specification. If omitted, the last child of the Time dimension is assumed (for example, Qtr4 in Sample Basic).

Notes

The return value of this function varies depending on the input.

When both layer and member arguments are given as input, Closingperiod returns the last descendant of the input member at the input layer. For example, Closingperiod(Year.generations(3), Qtr3) returns Sep. If the input member and layer are the same layer, the output is the input member. For example, Closingperiod(Year.generations(3), Sep) returns Sep.
When only the layer argument is specified, the input member is assumed to be the current member of the dimension used in the layer argument. Closingperiod returns the last descendant of that dimension, at the input layer. For example, Closingperiod(Year.generations(3)) returns Dec.
When no arguments are specified, the input member is assumed to be the current member of the Time dimension, and ClosingPeriod returns the last child of that member. Do not use this function without arguments if there is no dimension tagged as Time.

Example

The following query

WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[Starting Inventory] AS
'
IIF (
 IsLeaf (Year.CurrentMember),
  [Measures].[Opening Inventory],
  ([Measures].[Opening Inventory],
   OpeningPeriod (
     [Year].Levels(0),
     [Year].CurrentMember
   )
  )
)'

MEMBER [Measures].[Closing Inventory] AS
'
IIF (
   Isleaf(Year.CurrentMember),
    [Measures].[Ending Inventory],  
   ([Measures].[Closing Inventory],
    ClosingPeriod (
    [Year].Levels(0),
    [Year].CurrentMember
    )
)
)'
SELECT
CrossJoin (
 { [100-10] },
 { [Measures].[Starting Inventory], [Measures].[Closing Inventory] }
)
ON COLUMNS,
Hierarchize ( [Year].Members , POST)
ON ROWS
FROM Sample.Basic

returns the grid:
