Implementing a rolling x month or x week calculation in MDX is relatively straightforward if you have a calendar hierarchy in the multi-dimensional cube.  In some cases, you may only want to include dates where a measure is non-empty.  For example, if a user selects the current month, you may not want to include any future weeks that are empty in the rolling calculation.

I recently implemented rolling 12 month and rolling 6 week measures in a SSAS tabular cube for product registration counts.
