Systems, clients, servers, methods, and computer-readable media of varying scope are described in which, two extensions for a multidimensional database query language extensions, AddCalculatedMembers and StripCalculatedMembers, allow an OLAP client to easily control the integration of calculated members into the results of OLAP database queries. The OLAP client need not be aware of the details of which calculated members are defined within the multidimensional database and need not explicitly request the inclusion or removal of each calculate member from the output data set of the query.
