sql server - how can I test an MDX function? -

2 part question..

part 1: these where clauses give me correct data:

where { [time].[month].&[2011-06-01t00:00:00] } or { strtomember("[time].[month].&[2011-06-01t00:00:00]") }

but returns nulls:

where { strtomember("[time].[month].&[" + format(now(), "yyyy-mm-") + "01t00:00:00]") }

i tried yyyymm format. trying use current month.. etc..

part 2 (more important): how can verify format function returns? how can in mdx query analyzer:

select  format(now(), "yyyymm")

i need execute function w/out selecting store.. there way test these functions?

update

figured out part 1

strtomember("[time].[month].&[" + format(now(), "yyyy-mm") + "-01t00:00:00]")

it mm vs mm.. easy catch if able test output of function is..

using calculated measure:

with member xx format(now(), "yyyy-mm") select xx on 0 [yourcubename]
