We are now ready to further prepare the MDX30 OPTIMIZE CROSSJOIN
cube, by adding a calculated member that we know to have existed in the
now-missing production cube. This calculated member will also form the focus of
our practice example, as it will provide the driver for our approach to
optimizing the query we discussed earlier with the information consumers.
