Bug in clear_with_dataframe() when using multiple hierarchies in dimension_mapping

[151N3]

Describe the bug
There is a bug in the Iteration over the hierarchies here.
We initialize the mdx_selections dict and while iterating over the hierarchies we override as we can have just one key for the dimension name in the dict mdx_selections

dimension_mapping = {"mydimension" : ["hierarchie_1", "hierarchie_2"]


 mdx_selections[dimension] = MdxHierarchySet.tm1_subset_all(
                            dimension=dimension,
                            hierarchy=hierarchy).filter_by_level(0)
	#mdx_selections[dimension].to_mdx() = "{TM1FILTERBYLEVEL({TM1SUBSETALL([mydimension].[hierarchie_1])},0)}"
	#mdx_selections[dimension].to_mdx() = "{TM1FILTERBYLEVEL({TM1SUBSETALL([mydimension].[hierarchie_2])},0)}"

We get a final mdx something like this: mdx_builder.to_mdx() =

SELECT
NON EMPTY 
*{[year].[year].[2024]} 
*{[month].[month].[04]} 
*{TM1FILTERBYLEVEL({TM1SUBSETALL([mydimension].[hierarchie_2])},0)} 
DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_NAME ON 0
FROM [mycube]

Expected behavior
We would except this mdx result:

mdx_builder.to_mdx() =

SELECT
NON EMPTY 
*{[year].[year].[2024]} 
*{[month].[month].[04]} 
* {TM1FILTERBYLEVEL({TM1SUBSETALL([mydimension].[hierarchie_1])},0)}
*{TM1FILTERBYLEVEL({TM1SUBSETALL([mydimension].[hierarchie_2])},0)} 
DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_NAME ON 0
FROM [mycube]

Would be nice to have some more logging, like print the final mdx statement so one can see the what's going on.

There is another minimal Bug: L692
the variable dimension is not assigned yet and should write column instead:

raise ValueError(f"Value for key '{column}' in dimension_mapping must be of type str")

ToDo: We should check if the mapping-hierarchies match with the ones from the tm1 dimension similar with the unmatched_dimension_names

My Solution:

            elif isinstance(hierarchies, Iterable):
                for hierarchy in hierarchies:
                    if dimension not in mdx_selections:
                        mdx_selections[dimension] = MdxHierarchySet.tm1_subset_all(
                            dimension=dimension,
                            hierarchy=hierarchy).filter_by_level(0)
                    else:
                        mdx_selections[hierarchy] = MdxHierarchySet.tm1_subset_all(
                            dimension=dimension,
                            hierarchy=hierarchy).filter_by_level(0)

or just

            elif isinstance(hierarchies, Iterable):
                for hierarchy in hierarchies:
                       dimension_hierarchy = f"{dimension}_{hierarchy}"
                        mdx_selections[dimension_hierarchy] = MdxHierarchySet.tm1_subset_all(
                            dimension=dimension,
                            hierarchy=hierarchy).filter_by_level(0)

As we are not using the keys of the dictionary mdx_selections for anything. What do you think @MariusWirtz

[MariusWirtz]

If I understand you right, I think your proposed solution is to clear the cross join of both hierarchies.
I think that's not ideal. If someone provides multiple hierarchies to a dimension, they may want to clear both hierarchies instead of clearing the crossjoin of both hierarchies.

Here is simple example:
Cube c1 with two dimensions d1 and d2.
d2 has 2 hierarchies: h3 and h4.

There is leaf level data on

• d1 x d2:h3
• d1 x d2:h4

When looking at the crossjoin of d1 x h3 x h4 there is no data.

I suggest when multiple hierarchies are passed in the dimension_mapping, we do the clear in separate operations.
What do you think?

So we would clear d1 x d2:h3 and d1 x d2:h4 instead of clearing d1 x h3 x h4

Hey @MariusWirtz,
that's a valid point. I didn't think about the cross join. In that case, you are right and it's not a bug but a feature :-)

There two other things a still worth to consider?
