Anyone know the MDX needed to create a calculated member (measure) as follows???

In my YAK cube there is a distinct count measure which gives the number of YAKs.

I display the cube with the new calculated measure as a column and the dimension YAK-Type as rows. The calculated measure will show a percentage for each type of YAK.

For example, all YAKs are made up of 60% hairy YAKs and 40% bald YAKs.

Now it gets tricky when I switch dimensions to look at YAKs by habitat.

I want the *same* calculated measure to show the percentage by habitat.

For example 10% of YAKs live in urban areas and 90% live in the wilderness.

If I put both these dimensions on the rows and columns and select the calculated measure I should be able to see the percetage of hairy yaks living in the wilderness as well as the other three combinations.

I have all this to work with counts, but can't get the percentages to work.

thanks for any help.
