using Query items from Framework.
Steps:--

-->Pause the pointer over the query explorer button and
clink Queries.
-->In intersect objects pane,to build the SQL query drag
SQL to the query.
-->In properties pane double click the datasource property
and click data source
-->Double click SQl or MDx and type SQL
-->validate the SQL.

in the data item pane.
