New To Excel Add-in For Analysis Services
Jun 27, 2005Ive been trying the Excel 2003 Add-in for Analysis Services because after reading the white paper from Microsoft it seemed to be a good client of Analysis Services. Im getting trouble to make it work right, maybe some of you can help :confused: :
-Can I insert a formula as a result of applying "cubecellvalue" to a "cubemember" function?
-How do I calculate a variance, meaning the percentage of sales for example? Is it possible to divide a "cubecellvalue" into another one?
-How do I format the Excel sheet so that the format changes when drilling-up and down?
Thanks in advance.

View 3 Replies View RelatedDrillthrough An Excel Pivot Table Into Analysis Services ?
Oct 5, 2005Wonder if you could help me ?
I have set up a cube running under MSSQL Server 2000 Analysis services and have created reports in Excel 2002 using pivot tables and linking into the cube as an external data source.
The pivottable works fine and I can slice / dice as usual, the only thing that doesnt work is the drill through into AS. I receive and error message saying "Cannot show detail data for that selection...".
Now I know that the drill through works, as when I create a report using the Analsyis Services Excel Add Inthe drill through works fine, its just how do I get it working using the pivot tables ?
fyi - the reason I dont want to use the Analsyis Services Excel Add In for all the reports is because I have to deploy this to XX number of users, who wont have admin rights on their machines etc etc....
Is there any VB that I could use to perform this drill through and return the results.....or easier ??
Thanks very much

View 4 Replies View RelatedAnalysis :: Excel 2013 Pivot-table / Grouping On Date That Comes From Analysis Service 2008?
Nov 24, 2015I am using
SSAS: version 2008
Excel: version 2013
I am connecting to SSAS cube from Excel and I have date dimension with 4 fields (I have others but I don't use it for this case). I created 4 fields in order to test all possible scenarios that I could think of:
DateKey:
- Type: System.Integer
- Value: yyyyMMdd
Date:
- Type: System.DateTime
DateStr0:
- Type: System.String
- Value: dd/MM/yyyy (note: I am not using US culture)
- Example: 01/11/2015
DateStr1:
- Type: System.String
- Value: %d/%M/yyyy (note: I am not using US culture)
- Example: 1/11/2015
Filtering on date is working fine:
Initially, in excel, filtering on date was not working. But after changing dimensional type to time, and setting DataType to Date, as mentioned in [URL] filter is working fine as you can see in the picture.Grouping on date is not working:
I have hierarchy in my Date dimension and I can group based on hierarchy, no problem. But user is used to pre-build grouping function of excel, and he wants to use that. Pre-build functions of Excel, Group and ungroup seems to be available as you can see in following picture:
But when user clicks 'Group', excel groups it as if it is a string, and that is the problem. User wants to group using pre-build grouping function available in Pivot table. I also find out that Power Pivot Table does not support this excel grouping functionality. And if I understood well, this pre-build grouping functionality of excel, needs to do calculation at run time, and that is not viable solution if you have millions of rows. So Power pivot table does not support pre-build grouping functionality of excel and hence we need to use dimension hierarchy to do the grouping. But I am not using Power Pivot table, I am using simple Pivot Table. So I expect grouping functionality to be working fine. Then I tried to do simple test. I created a simple data source in excel itself. And use it as source of my Pivot table. Then grouping is working fine. The only difference that I can see is (When double click the Measure value in Excel),For date values of my simple test, excel consider them as 'Date'.
For date values of my data coming from cube, excel consider them as 'General'
2.1. But value here is same as it was in simple test.
2.2. 'Date Filter' works just fine.
2.3. If I just select this cell and unselect it, then excel change type to 'Date' though for that cell.
2.4. I have created 4 different types of fields in my date dimension thinking that values of attribute of my dimension might be the problem, but excel consider 'General' for all of them.
2.5 This value (that can be seen when double clicking on measure) comes from 'Name Column' of the attribute. And the DataType defined is WChar. And I thought that might be the reason of issue. And I changed it to 'Date'. But SSAS does not allow it to change to 'Date' giving error : The 'Date' data type is not allowed for the 'NameColumn' property; 'WChar' should be used.
So, I don't know, what is the puzzle piece that I am missing.
1. Date filter works, group does not work
2. Excel consider it as 'General' string.
3. SSAS does not allow to change 'NameColumn' to Date.
Use Cubes From Analysis Services 2005 To Analysis Services 2000
Oct 17, 2007Hi,
I have some questions about SQL Servers 2000 and 2005 compatibility.
In my configuration I have to use both servers.
The cubes are stocked in 2005 server.
May I transfer from 2005 to 2000 Analysis Services the cubes?
If yes, what is the procedure? The result of migration is the same in the two different versions?
If not, how can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Analysis :: Power BI Analysis Services Connector - Remote Server Returned Error
Mar 5, 2015I have, a SSAS 2012 tabular instance with SP2, there is a database on the instance with a read role with everyone assigned permissions. When configuring the Power BI analysis services connector, at the point where you enter Friendly Name, Description and Friendly error message, when you click next I receive the error "The remote server returned an error (403)." I've tested connecting to the database from Excel on a desktop and connect fine.I don't use a "onmicrosoft" account so don't have that problem to deal with.
We use Power BI Pro with our Office 365. As far as I can tell that part is working ok as I pass that stage of the configuration with a message saying connected to Power BI.The connector is installed on the same server as tabular services, its a Win2012 Standard server. The tabular instance is running a domain account that is the admin account for the instance (this is a dev environment) that account is what I've used in the connector configuration. It's also a local admin account. There is no gateway installed on the server.
Analysis :: Cube Needs To Be Deployed From VS After SSIS Analysis Services Processing Task Completes?
May 13, 2014I have a cube that we are processing nightly via an Analysis Service Processing Task in SSIS. In order to increase the performance of the processing time, we elected to use a lot of rigid dimension attributes, and do a full process of everything in the SSIS task. The issue that I am having is that after that task completes, I need to go into Visual Studio to deploy the cube becuase we are unable to browse or use the cube. This issue seemed to start once we changed the SSIS Analysis Service Processing Task to do a full process on the dimensions, rather than an incremental.
I would expect that once development is done, and it is processed and deployed, that is it. My thinking is that the SSIS task should just update the already deployed cube,

Integration Services :: Loading Multiple XML File With Different Metadata In Server Tables With SSIS 2008
Feb 17, 2011I have multiple xml data file in a directory say C:XMLData abc1.xml, abc2.xml, abc3.xml etc.
Need to loop through each file in ssis with Foreach loop container, and get the file name say abc1, and load the data of abc1.xml to abc1 table in sql server DB.
Next iteration will pick up the abc2.xml and find the abc2 table in sql server DB then insert the data in abc2 table.
While each iteration, xml source should also point each xsd file correspondingly.
Tables are already created in DB
I solved my problem up to getting the file name from ech iteration and assigned file name to variable, in oledb destination data access mode I select Table or view name variable, then corresponding table will get selected for data insertation.
Just wanted to know how can I read each xsd file for each xml data files while iteration.

Analysis Services 2005 Database Processing Fails When Run From Integration Services
Oct 11, 2007Hello, I have a problem when trying to fully process an SSAS database using Integration Services "Analysis Services Processing Task" task. I have 2 of these tasks which are responsible for processing the Dimensions then the Cubes. When I run the package either via the BIDS environment or on the local server from the Integration Services engine, I will get an error after about 20 minutes stating:
"Error: Memory Error: Allocation failure. Not enough storage is available to process this command""Error: Errors in the metadata manager. An error occurred when loading the <cube name> cube from the file \?D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2OLAPDataMyWarehouse<cube file>.xml"
The cube name is not specific, it will fail and any of my cubes could be in the error log
If I fully process the AS database using the AS engine (logon to local AS server, right-click AS database and click Process), I get no errors at all, it processes and completes fine. The processing options are identical when I run in AS or via the SSIS "Analysis Services Processing Task" task.
I've searched quite a lot online but no joy, the information I have gleaned from various sites does not directly link SSIS with SSAS processing problems.
When either the AS processing starts via SSAS or SSIS the memory usage of MSMDSRV.exe increases to around 1.4 / 1.5 GB but never goes to 2GB ever, even when the error appears.
I've done the following with no effect.
" Have run via AS and works fine
" No specific cube it fails on
" Have created a Dimension only package, same problem
" Changed the maxmemorylimit
" Changed the connections to localhost
" Memory DOES NOT max out on server
Server Specs:
Windows Server 2003 Standard + Service Pack 2

Reporting Services - Analysis Services - Displaying Dimension Members As Columns
Dec 3, 2006I think I've seen a similar post on a blog or on the forums - but it seems like this should be possible -
I have an MDX query - that works fine in SQL Enterprise Manager, and has my dimension members on columns, and my measures on the rows. When I try the same query in Reporting Services, I get the error:
"The query cannot be prepared: The query must have at least one axis. The first axis of the query should not have multiple hierarchies, nor should it reference any dimension other than the Measures dimension..
Parameter name: mdx (MDXQueryGenerator)"
Although it works when you pivot the view, I really need my data presented with the members on the columns and the measures on the rows. Another forum post mentioned using the SQL 9.0 driver, but I can't see this listed anywhere (the only one I see is the .NET framework Data Provider for Microsoft Analysis Services).
Here's what my query looks like -
SELECT
{ [Time].[Month].&[2006-09-01T00:00:00] ,
[Time].[Month].&[2006-10-01T00:00:00],
[Time].[Month].&[2006-11-01T00:00:00],
[Time].[Month].&[2006-12-01T00:00:00]
} on COLUMNS,
{
[Measures].[Unique Users],
[Measures].[UU Pct 1],
[Measures].[UU Pct 2],
} ON ROWS
FROM [Cube]
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Till now all the reports for our application was created in Reporting Services 2005 with SQL Server Database(OLTP) stored procedures.
Most of the reports take 10 to 15 report Parameters and all are multi valued.
Now because of the slow response time,we have decided to use OLAP cubes data source. We have created the OLAP cube in Microsoft Analysis Services.
Can someone tell me how to use the report parameters to query the Cube.
Any links,books for reference would be of great help..

Reporting Services Authenticating With Analysis Services

Problem: Reporting Server does not apply Analysis Services Role after login.
Details:
I have created a report that retreives data from the Analysis Service. I created a role and added my user company/myUserName to the role.
On the Reporting Server I set the data source to :
* Credentials supplied by the user running the report
and
Use as Windows credentials when connecting to the data source
Internally when I connect devsql2005/Reports/ReportName I get the user and password fields. When I fill them in I get the report but I can see all the data while my role was restricted to see only few results.
Can anyone suggest what may be wrong? Any articles or tutorials on how to setup and deploy solutions where Report Server is talking to Analysis Services and NOT Sql Server.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUnable To Connect To Analysis Server From EXCEL
May 30, 2008
Hi,
I have Installed Analysis Services on Windows 2000 Server.
There is no Active Directory and no Domain configured.
All client PCs and the server are part of Workgroup.
I have also installed MS SQL Server on this Server and
an instance of MS SQL Express edition on this server.
There is no Firewall, no Office and no IIS installed on this server.
When I use Analysis Manager on the server, I am able to connect to the Sample Database
and browse/edit the cubes. Similarly I am also able to use the Sample MDX application.
However, when I try to connect to the same database from my Laptop (Vista home premium/Office 2007)
- either using Analysis Manager or From EXCEL, I am not able to connec to it.
The Excel gives me following error:
"The following system error occurred: No Connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"
And Analysis Manager does not register the server. It gives me a different error:
"Errors occurred while connecting to INTRANETNT. Cannot open connection to Analysis server 'INTRANETNT'.
Security error [The user could not be authenticated]'' Do you still want to register this server?"
I am able to connect the SQL Server database from EXCEL from my laptop
I checked following:
I am able to do a telnet on port 1433 on my server from my PC - and it connects.
Please advise what should I do to sort out the problem. This is my first exposure to Analysis Server
