I have a MDX query below. This query works, the problem is it is slow, takes > 15 secs to return results even though the data set is not huge. I believe the query should execute under 2 secs (its also used on a landing page and the wait time is bothersome). The [Measures].[Star Rating] is causing the slow down because of all the IF THEN ELSE logic. All its doing is based on the [Mean Score], it finds the [Star Rating] from a lookup table based on the range in the lookup table. For e.g. if [Mean Score] < 86, [Star Rating] = 1 if [Mean Score] >= 86 and <= 90, [Star Rating] = 2
The [Mean Score] is a simple sum/count calculation. It can change based on the date range being used as parameter. Can you recommend either an optimization in the existing query below or recommend an alternate way to calculate [Star Rating] ?
The MDX query is below:
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[MeanScore] AS ([Measures].[Standard Point Assignment - Sum]/[Measures].[Episode Of Care HCAHPS Count])
MEMBER [Measures].[StarRating] AS
CASE
WHEN [HCAHPS Star Rating].[HCAHPS Star Rating ID].CurrentMember IS [HCAHPS Star Rating].[HCAHPS Star Rating ID].[All]
THEN
CASE

THEN

[Measures].[Rating],
Tail([HCAHPS Star Rating].[HCAHPS Star Rating ID].[HCAHPS Star Rating ID]).Item(0).Item(0)
