Prevmember Mdx Function Not Working (Doc ID 2924984.1)

Last updated on FEBRUARY 03, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle Enterprise Performance Management FreeForm Cloud Service - Version N/A and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Trying to use the "prevmember" mdx function on a member called "Prior Year" in the Scenario dimession.
The formula is below and should calculate/retrieve the prior year Actual data.
This validates but does not calculate.

([Actual],[Years].currentmember.prevmember)

I believer the issue is with the function because if I hardcode the year or use an essbase subvar the formula works.
See below.

([Actual],[FY21])
([Actual],&CurYrminus1)

Also tried the lag function and it can not get that to work either.
