The Last Non-Empty Dilemma TABULAR Style

In a previous post, I addressed the function of the last non empty aggregation in SSAS (OLAP). Specifically, I looked at what happens when there are 'missing' chucks of data in the fact table and how the OLAP engine natively carries forward the balance to an aggregated time member without regard for the what is the 'true' last date. That is, we expect the last date of stock to be applied for all aggregated date values regardless of whether data exists or not. This post looks at the LNE calculation in the tabular model.
