Answer 1

From the documentation : The Ytd function is a shortcut function for the PeriodsToDate [...] .Note that this function will not work when the Type property is set to FiscalYears. How about using the following instead :

Select

  PeriodsToDate(
    [Date].[Fiscal].[Fiscal Year],
    [Date].[Fiscal].[Fiscal Quarter].[Q3 FY 2003]
  ) on columns
