I have a measure in a SSAS cube that uses AggregateFunction "Sum". Dimension usage seems to be right so that it sums correctly.
But when I try to use same measure in SSRS report it comes out all wrong.
TO be precise the measure is called "CalendarDays" and it's the number of days in a month (28,29,30 or 31). Say I have 5 products and 4 years, If I look at this in the cube browser then the CalendarDays column aggregates correctly to 365 or 366 for each year even with the five products and 12 months in the rows.
However if I do a SSRS report by product and month with subtotals of years, then SUM(CalendarDays) adds up all the CalendarDays for each month and each product (ie 5 x 365 or 366). If I leave out "SUM" and just enter =Fields!CalendarDays in the subtotal then it doesn't aggregate at all, it jsut gives the first value (ie 31).
How can I get SSRS to aggregate the same way as the cube?
I have a monthly time period dimension representing average number of students for each month. At the yearly aggregate level I don't want it to sum up the avg number of students from every month because that number is incorrect. I would like it to use the number of students from the most recent month as a roll up. Is that possible to configure in SSAS?
I'm using SSAS 2005 cube as Data Source for my SSRS 2005 report. The report has parameters as well.
The requirement is that I want to pass parameters to the report using my own UI.
My questions are: 1. "How to pass parameters to my report using my UI?" I'm developing the UI using VS2003 (the client's requirement).
2. Is there any ReportViewer control available in Framework 1.x?
3. I'm also using a drilldown sub-report with the same report. I'm passing parameter values to the sub-report selecting the fields of my data. But when the sub-report is opened, it gives an error saying "The parameter 'X' is not assigned a value".
I have 5 cubes, and hierachy defined for all cubes. for example:geography database with 5 continents as cubes and contries as dimensions.Now when i am doing security restrictions on my dimension ex: In USA dimension if i want only to give access to texas region then i should be able to see only texas cities. But i cansee all the states under USA even after selecting only Texas region under Dimension data tab inside ROles section in SSMS.I have tried security at database ,cube level as well as dimension level.But still not working.is that because of some wrong design of cubes or something related to database design.? I am not able to undersand that except roles everything in my cubes or datawarehouse is working fine without and defect in data.
I am trying to compute average of Sales amount for 10 days and I am having an issue when using LAG function. Since weekends fall in between working days my LAG (10) function is also including weekends and hence I am not able to get the correct average.
I never got an answer on this so I am reposting this issue. Also, please note that I have consistently reproduced this issue on multiple perspectives within and accross multiple cubes on 3 different SQL Server Instances. I have also had no problem with perspectives within Report Models that were not generated from an SSAS Cube.
Specifics:
=========
I have created a simple cube in BI Studio against an Oracle Relational Data Warehouse. In this cube I have created a perspective in which I have selected (included) only a small subset of measures and dimension. When I view this perspective on the Browse Tab of BI Studio, only the entities that were included in the perspective were available for report construction as was expected.
Next, I generated a model for this cube in Report Manager. Now here is the problem, I then opended the model in Report Builder and selected the same perspective from above, but all of the Entities in the cube were displayed including the fields I explicitely did not include in the perspective. I then looked at the .smdl file describing the Model and it looked like in the Perspective description section all of the cube's entities were included, even the ones that should not have been included. It seems as if the problem is ocurring durring the model generation. I also tried generating the model in Management Studio and it seems to be doing the same thing.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Could I be doing something wrong(probably)? I have to give a presentation soon and this is a big deal for the Project Stakeholders.
By the way, I am using the 180 Day Evaluation of Sql Server 2005 with SP2 CTP installed.
I have a separate date dimension marked as Date table in Tabular Model and having proper relationship with another table(e.g SalesTable) with column of date type. But still time intelligence functions are not working. I am using the date column from other table (e.g SalesTable) in the formula. What exactly going wrong in our tabular model.
I've made my Cube having two language support - Japanese and English. For that I'm keeping two description columns relavent to language and mapping in dimenstion attribute translation. Till that it is fine. In SQL 2005 Analysis Services Browser it working very fine. But when I use this cube with SSRS, I've made Custom parameter for Language. And based on that I'm chaning Report.Language property for the selected language. It is working fine in case of Report Data. It is converting data in Japanese when I select Japanese Language and translating in English when I select English. But Problem is that Parameter's data is not chaning when I change the language. I supposed to that when I'm changing Report.Language to Japanese then Parameter's data should be changed in Japanese. Please help how it can be possible.
I have a vision of a beautifully interlocked Business Intelligence system in which I load dimensional fact tables through SSIS, build aggregations in SSAS cubes, and quickly and easily generate SSRS reports using the cubes as data marts.
I am now a month into trying to implement this vision and Reality is stomping all over it. Primarily, I am running into issues with the "cube as a data mart" idea. Each cube is taking up an additional gig or two of space, report queries against them seem to take longer than a straight SQL query against my fact tables, and I am running into serious problems trying to pass time-related calculations such as Year-To-Date to my reports.
Has anyone else tried setting up a BI system that uses cubes as the primary drivers for their reports? Have you seen any benefits to doing it that way? Or should I generate most of my reports through the SQL tables?
I'm nearing the point-of-no-return in choosing my final methodology, and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I'm doing a BI project and I already develop the DataWarehouse and the OLAP Cube. Next step are the creation of a report using SQL Server Reporting Services.
I am used to use a query from Data Warehouse as the DataSet to implement the report. Is usual ou benefit to use the cube directly on report as DataSource?
I would like to ask how can I create a subscription for a report that connects to Analysis Services?
I was able to create a subscription but the report's datasource is SQL Server 2005 using the built-in "sa" credential. But when I am connected to SSAS the option to use the SQL login is greyed out.
I'm sure what I am trying to do is very simple - but I just can't seem to figure it out. I have a report based on a SSAS cube (SQL 2005). The report shows sales based on the dates the user selects from the parameter field (the date parameter field comes from a Y-Q-M-D hierarchy). This all works fine.
What I would like to happen is for the members within the last 3 months to be automatically selected so that the report automatically executes for the last 3 months.
Can anyone help or offer any advice. If possible I would like to achieve this using the GUI features so that power users can use the "plug and pray interface".
i would like to pose a question, when a user do a login in SSRS server,is it possible to pass the username to SSAS tabular, to implement security? I've tested using USERNAME() creating a role that relates USERNAME() with a dim user username, but now i need to implement it with the username used in SSRS server.
I would like to know best practices for setting up my environment. To date, I've had everything running on a single server. That would include the database engine, SSIS, SSAS and SSRS. The box configuration is dual hyperthreaded 3.6GHz Xenon with 4GB of RAM on Windows Server 2003. I just received a much larger server and want to configure it to maximize our environment. The new box contains four 2.6GHz Quad Core processors with 16GB of RAM. I would like to know if I should split the ETL and database engine from SSAS and SSRS, or should this box have enough horse power to house it all and use my other box as a dev environment. Also, we are planning to purchase Performance Point 2007 primarily for PAS and Scorecard Manager so please take that into consideration as well. Any comments are greatly appreciated.
Has anyone managed to crack getting multi-select parameters to work from an SSRS 2005 report which is querying an SSAS 2000 cube.
SSRS 2005 does support Multiselect, however SSRS 2000 did not. Given that i am querying an SSAS 2000 cube, i get the impression that i am also limited to SSRS 2000 functionality regarding to multi-select parameters.
Is there anyone out there that ever managed to get a wor around, say by using filters on a table or anything really that coud simulate the same behaviour....
A Fact table <<Company Revenue>> 2 Dimension <<Month.Dim>> , <<Company>>
I have 4 company say (A,B,C,D) but i have record for only company A & D that too only for December month .
When I create a SSRS report out of the cube i want a matrix where all the company names to be displayed in the rows & all the months in the columns and company's revenue in data
What my report is displaying :
Company | December ------------------------------------------------------- A | 20000 ------------------------------------------------------- D | 3900 -------------------------------------------------------
what is needed :
Company | January | February | March | ........... | December ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A | | | | | 20000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B | | | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C | | | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D | | | | | 3900 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have an SSRS report that gets its data from an SSAS cube, and it essentially displays a list of students and absences. Everything works fine.
But the users only want to see the top N students with the highest absences. For example, today they want to see the top 100, but during summer vacation, they only want to see the top 5.
Is there a way to add this parameter to the SSRS report? So if I select "5" from the dropdown parameter, it will show the top 5 absences.
The query that I use to populate the report is something simple:
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Absences] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Dim Date].[Date Key].[Date Key].ALLMEMBERS * [Dim Student].[Lte Cell Key].[Lte Cell Key].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@DimDateDateKey, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Daily Cube]) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
I am receiving the following error when I run the report builder query. I am able to successfully select the dimensions and measures that I am intrested in but when I run the report I get the error message.
The 'PerspectiveID' custom property for the 'query' perspective is either not set or is not set to the string data type. ---------------------------- Semantic query execution failed. ---------------------------- Query execution failed for data set 'dataSet'. ---------------------------- An error has occurred during report processing.
I am testing this against both Adventureworks standard and enterprise cubes. Additionality I saw a post in this forum http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=368962&SiteID=1 that seemed related but I am using reporting services in sharepoint integrated mode so I am having a hard time trying to troubleshoot this.
Good day community. I have a question about SQL Server 2005 Anywhere edition which i currently installed on my desktop. Does it fit my needs which stated on the subject? If no, what should i select for my projects?
Has anyone else come across the problem that reporting services in SQL 2005 do not work outside of the Sharepoint default zone? Is there a workaround for this issue? I have done a lot of searching into the problem for a solution without success.
I'm looking to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 (Standard Edition). I'm interested in using SSIS, SSRS and SSAS. I hear that BIDS runs inside of Visual Studio 2005, and comes with the SQL 2005 software. I currently have VS 2003. My question is: Do I need to purchase anything besides SQL Server 2005 Standard, or do I need to buy anything separately, like VS 2005? (if so, which version would you recommend?)
Hello all, according to the documentation for the DeviceInfo parameter of the ReportingService.Render method the Xml string fragment of PageHeight and PageWidth for the Image Device Information Settings should and I quote.
The page height, in inches, to set for the report. You must include an integer or decimal value followed by "in" (for example, 11in). This value overrides the report's original settings.
Emphasis mine. Page width is similar. However when I change that value to what is desired for the IMAGE format it has no effect whatsoever no matter what value I place in there.
Indeed the size that is rendered is more related to the current display resolution setting rather than the PageHeight/PageWidth values passed in. In otherwords if my laptop has a higher resolution of 1920x1200 and the server that I deploy this WS to has a lower resolution of 1280x1024, the image rendered on the higher resolution display fits on to an 8.5x11.0 in page with room to spare but on the lower resolution display it is clipped because it does not fit the page.
Is there something that I am doing wrong or is this indeed a bug?
I have created a report that sharing two datasets for displaying the data. This datasets are using Stored procedure for execution of the report.One of the stored procedure using Order by clause and returning the data.But on running the report , the report viewer displays the unsorted data of the filed. But if we run the stored procedure directly from the sql server , it will return the sorted data.

I've Created Local Smtp to use gmailid for Subscription of SSRS Report by Email as we don't have an Exchange Server.
User this link to Create local SMTP
Studied few blogs that related it to agent service running under local system account, on my machine it was running on NT/NetworkService change it to Administrator of local Machine. Did same change for Database Engine of Service of SQL Instance.
FYI- My Machine is not in Domain, so used local administrator for giving rights to service mentioned above.
