Analysis :: Bitmask Column Values As Dimension Values
Jun 18, 2015
Bitmask fields! I am capturing row changes manually via a high frequency ETL task. It works effectively however i am capturing the movement of multiple fields. A simple example, for Order lines, i have a price, a discount and a date. I am capturing a 001, 010, 100 respectively for each change.
I would like my users to be able to select from a dimension which has the 3 members in it and they can select one, multiples, or all values (i.e. only want to see rows that have had the date and price changed).
Obviously if i only had 3 columns i would use bit's and be done with it, i have many different values (currently around 24 and growing).
I've a table which contains a record for each day an employee is employed:In the cube I've create a measure which is a sum of the field "Employed" which provides me the number of employees that are employed for a given date (lowest level of my time dimensions which are YEAR-MONTH-DATE)The problem is that the number aggregating on YEAR and MONTH which provides me with wrong figures at these levels - So how can create a calculated measure (maybe with Scope) that only show the Ultimo Numbers at the lowest level when I am browsing on the Month or Year level. For example if I am on the Year level I only want it to sum on the date 31-12-xxxx and if I'm at the month level(for example July 2012) it should show me the sum of 31-07-2012 which are the last level for the given month.
This provides a good example for my situation. In this example, you will see a Movie dimension with four attributes; Genre, Language, Movie, and Theme. I have a similar setup except mine is Top Level Hierarchy>Categories>Values which are all under the one hierarchy.
My Question: I have the dimension setup as a multi-value parameter in one of my reports. When I filter on a value in Genre and in Language, it provides all values from that genre and all values from that language. I really only want the values that include both.
If I filter on Western and English, I get Movie1-5 when all I really want is Movie2 only. Is there any way to have this do an Intersect within the same dimension or do I have to build each one out into its own dimension?
Have a need to let the user select the year and month to use for filtering results from an MDX query that populates a report.I think all I should need is a list of years and a Month name / number.What would the filter look like if say I had a Date dimension that included the year number in a 4-digit and month in a 2-digit number? In TSQL it would be something like ... where Month = @month AND Year = @year...How do I get a distinct list of member values for the month numbers from the Date dimension?
The first 10 rows would be the top ten values for a Measure and a Dimension that has 20 members. I can get it with the following MDX expresion:
SELECT TopCount(EXCEPT([Dim Category].[Dim Category].AllMembers,[Dim Category].[Dim Category].[All]),10,[Measures].[Value]) ON ROWS, [Measures].[Value] ON COLUMNS FROM [My Cube]
We have SharePoint list which has, say, two columns. Column A and Column B.
Column A can have three values - red, blue & green.
Column B can have four values - pen, marker, pencil & highlighter.
A typical view of list can be:
Column A - Column B red - pen red - pencil red - highlighter blue - marker blue - pencil green - pen green - highlighter red - pen blue - pencil blue - highlighter blue - pencil
We are looking to create a report from SharePoint List using SSRS which has following view:
red blue green pen 2 0 1 marker 0 1 0 pencil 1 3 0 highlighter 1 1 1
We tried Sum but not able to display in single row.
I have an SSIS package that imports data from an Excel file, replaces any value in Excel that reads "NULL" to "", then writes the data to a couple of databases.
What I have discovered today, is I have two columns of dates, an admit date and discharge date column, and what I need to do is anywhere I have a null value in the discharge date column, I have to replace it with the value in the admit date column.
I have searched around online and tried a few things using the Replace funtion in Derived columns but no dice so far.
I have SQL Server 2012 SSIS. I have Excel source and OLE DB Destination.I have problem with importing CustomerSales column.CustomerSales values like 1000.00,2000.10,3000.30,NotAvailable.So I have decimal values and nvarchar mixed in on Excel column. This is requirement for solution.However SSIS reads only numeric values correctly and nvarchar values are set as Null. Why?
Basically it's converting certain row values to new column. Every PloicyNum will have 1001 to 1006 Fixed InsCode values as a group.
Rule-1: InsCode value 1001 should always mapped to 1005 InsCode value 1002 should always mapped to 1006 InsCode value 1003 should always mapped to 1004
Rule-2: For a policyNum, If any Inscode value is missed from the group values 1001 to 1006, still need to mapped with corresponding values as shown in Rule-1
In the above sample data..
for PolicyNum - 1ABC20 , group values 1003,1006 are missing for PolicyNum - 1ABC25 , group values 1002,1003,1004,1005,1006 are missing
Create Table sampleDate (PolicyNum varchar(10) not null, InsCode Varchar(4) not null) Insert into Sample Date(PolicyNum, InsCode) Values ('1ABC12','1001')
Insert into Sample Date(PolicyNum, InsCode) Values ('1ABC12','1002') Insert into Sample Date(PolicyNum, InsCode) Values ('1ABC12','1003')
When i add a dimension to the cube dimension without any relation in my dimension usage to any measure group my units are going down.However when i remove the dimension from the cube am getting the correct values.
I have a fact table with a simple integer lookup key into a basic dimension table. However, some of the fact lookup key fields are NULL. I would like the Analaysis Services reports to show this NULL category. Instead, Analysis Services discards any NULL entries and the records are completely absent from the reports. What is the best way to achieve this?
hello at every body.. well i have a problem. i want to create a report which will present two measures vued with the same dimsneion but with different values.for example i want to present sales bu country and i want to present at the report the sales for the US and the sales for UK at the same time
indicator1=([Measures].[sales],[country].[UK]),
indicator2=([Measures].[sales],[country].[US]).
Further more i want to create two parameters which take the same values in order to change the values of indicators..
i have creted the datasets for the parameters and the parameters but i don't know how to code the main data set in order to change the values of indicator 1 with the values of parameter 1 and the values of indicator 2 with the values of parameter 2
Is there any way to retrieve the weight % of some values?
A quick example: A 10 -> Result i want is 10 / 60 (60 is the SUM of A,B and C) B 20 -> 20 /60 C 30 -> 30/60 Code for number of subscriptions EVALUATE SUMMARIZE('Subscriptions', 'Subscriptions Type'[DS_SUBS_TYPE], "Number of Subscriptions ",'Subscriptions'[NR_SUBSCRIPTIONS]).
I am trying to select some values as default for a parameter, I add my data set,add my parameter then I select the values in the default pane, when I run the report I get :
'the default value expression for the query parameter contains an error[BC30451] name is not declared.
When I look at the expression of the default parameter (in the report data pane under the specify values) it appears like
=new Object() {[Sty].[ST].&[1], [Sty].[ST]..&[15]} with a red scrible under the ()
I got a measure that is a calculated member Purchase-Invoice that give the NotBillable. When I query the cube in an Excel pivot I retrieve the zero as well:
I tried to create another calculated member in this way
If ([Measures].[Not_Billed]=0,blank(),[Measures].[Not_Billed])
but Error 2 MdxScript(Billing) (11, 5) The provided expression is not a valid MDX expression. 0 0
I am trying to find what datatype I can use for variable values like below in a column
E.g. column which we get
10000.10 100 180.34 98203710231.34
From the above example, you can see some of the values contains no decimal and with decimal
Also we cant say whether the decimal comes after the 5th number or 10th number. Any other datatype to capture this values. If not last option is to give varchar2.
I am trying to write a query for the default values for month, and I am stuck in bringing out only the parameter values, the query I have , brings back the month on row and value on column, and I am trying to get the value out. and will ssrs accept it as a valid expression for a default value
WITH MEMBER [MEASURES].[PARAMETERVALUE] AS [Account].[Month Short Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME
[Code] .....
I tried using the exp
=Parameters!MONTH.Value(0)
so as to return the first parameter in the parameter dataset , but i have the error the expression that ref the parameter MONTH does not exists in the parameter collection.
I have SSAS cube with Fact that include values in kg (e.g. 25.3, 32.5, 18,3...).What kind of attribute or other solution should I create If I want to filter those kg's in browser with integer values e.g.:weight between 10 and 25
I have a parent Child attribute in my dimension. I am currently displaying the correct ID value as the business wants. So now they can see the rollup of the ID(intOrgNodeID ) values.They would also like to see the same rollup of the Name (vcharOrgNodeName) for this ID.However they do not want it concatenated. They want to be able to see them separate.You cannot create two parent child attibutes in one dimension so not sure if there is some simple trick to make this work? It seems like there should be some simple trick for this.
My dimension table looks something like this intdimOrgNodeID int Key (surreget key) intOrgNodeID int (Actual ID) intDimParentOrgNodeID vcharOrgNodeName In the Propertys I have set this below. KeyColumns = tbldimOrgNode.intDimParentOrgNodeID NameColumn = tbldimOrgNode.intOrgNodeID
Select {measures.[Dollars]} on 0, non empty [Divisions].[Division].[All].Children * [Cost Centres].[Cost Centre].[All].Children [Locations].[Locations].[All].Children on 1 From MyCube
which produced the following table:
Division Cost Centre Location Dollars AA 1 X $30.00
[code]....
What I am hoping to do is create a set out of the Union of specific values in the [Cost Centres].[Cost Centre] and [Locations].[Locations] hierarchies into a single set and use that new set in my MDX query across the columns.
Using the table and query from above, I have the following conditions that would determine the value in the set (lets call the new set 'NewSet')
When Cost Centre = 1 and Location = X Then "CustomType1" When Cost Centre = 1 and Location = Y Then "CustomType2" When Cost Centre = 1 and Location = Z Then "CustomType3" When Cost Centre = 2 and Location = Y Then "CustomType4" When Cost Centre = 2 and Location = Z Then "CustomType5"Else "Default"
Then, if I was to execute the new query:
with
set NewSet as "Some Unknown Magic Here"
Select {measures.[Dollars]} on 0, non empty [Divisions].[Division].[All].Children * {NewSet} on 1 From MyCube
I would end up with
Division NewSet Dollars AA CustomType1 $166.64 AA CustomType3 $64.24 BB
It seems simple but I'm not able to make it works. I've got a fact table with sites (DimImplantation) with allowed users (DimDroit) :
1 user can have access to many sites. I've tried these codes but only one worked and only in case where the user had only one site :
a) =DimImplantation[DimImplantation_ID]= LOOKUPVALUE (DimDroit[DimImplantation_ID]; DimDroit[Utilisateur];USERNAME() ) ==> worked for 1user with 1 site
b) =DimImplantation[DimImplantation_ID]= LOOKUPVALUE (DimDroit[DimImplantation_ID]; DimDroit[Utilisateur];USERNAME(); DimDroit[DimImplantation_ID];DimImplantation[DimImplantation_ID] ) ==> doesn't work and says 'not able to to identifie the value of DimImplantation[DimImplantation_ID] in the current context.
c) CALCULATE(VALUES(DimDroit[DimImplantation_ID], SUMMARIZE('DimDroit',DimDroit[Utilisateur]), DimDroit[Utilisateur]=USERNAME()) ==> version for SQL2012. I've had 'End of input reached'.
I have managed to use the BI Wizard for time intelligence and added YTD and MTD successfully. I notice the values returned are empty, and I think this is due to the fact that all the test data I use is many years old. What's the simplest way to resolve this issue so that I can see that these MDX functions return correct values? Changing the system date on this company laptop is not an option.
I am trying to incrementally update a Cube to get near real time data for the end users. Currently we have a Sql server agent Job that does a FullProcess on the Cube. The Cube consists of a single Measure group which is simply one named query containing inner joins of all the dimensions and fact tables in the underlying relational database. The end users have a lot to upload during the day and they would like us to refresh the cube (near real time) to ensure the adjustments are loaded so that they could reconcile their daily PnLs. We have a MeasureId added which is an auto increment column in the Measures table.
I am trying to schedule the below XMLA query in Sql server agent Job and schedule it to run every 15mins or even less (if possible). However it seems to be not working and keep throwing all sorts of errors.
DECLARE @LastMeasureId AS INT, @myXMLA nvarchar(max) SELECT @LastMeasureId = "[Measures].[Maximum Measures Id]" FROM OpenRowset( 'MSOLAP', 'DATA SOURCE=L68F728326574; Initial Catalog=GMDR;', 'SELECT NON EMPTY {[Measures].[Maximum Measures Id]} ON COLUMNS FROM [GMDR]');
How to count the number of values that exist in a row based on the values from an array of numbers. Basically the the array of numbers I want to look for are in row 1 of table [test 1] and I want to search for them and count the "out of" in table [test 2]. Excuse me for not using the easiest way to convey my question below. I guess in short I have 10 numbers and like to find how many of those numbers exist in each row. short example:
I am trying to think my way through a solution which I believe others have probably come across... I am trying to implement a matching routine wherein I need to match an address against a high value and a low value (or, for that matter an input date vs. a start and end date) to return the desired row ... i.e. if I were to use a straight vb program I would just use the following lookup:
" WHERE zip_code = @zip_code AND addr_prim_lo <= @street_number AND addr_prim_hi >= @street_number " & _
" AND addr_prim_oe = @addr_prim_oe AND street_pre = @street_pre AND street_name = @street_name " & _
" AND street_suff = @street_suff AND street_post = @street_post " & _
" AND (expiry_date = '' OR expiry_date = '00000000' OR expiry_date > @expiry_date)" & _
" GROUP BY fire_ID, police_ID, fire_opt_in_out, police_opt_in_out"
My question, then, is how would you perform this type of query using a lookup / merge join or script? I have not found a way to implement a way to set the input columns? I can set the straight matches without a problem, i.e. lookup zip code = input zip code, but can't think of the correct way to set comparisons, i.e. lookup value 1 <= input value AND lookup value 2 >= input value
I have a DTSX package which reads values from a fixed-length text file using a data reader and writes some of the column values from the file to an Oracle table. We have used this DTSX several times without incident but recently the process started inserting NULL values for some of the columns when there was a valid value in the source file. If we extract some of the rows from the source file into a smaller file (i.e 10 rows which incorrectly returned NULLs) and run them through the same package they write the correct values to the table, but running the complete file again results in the NULL values error. As well, if we rerun the same file multiple times the incidence of NULL values varies slightly and does not always seem to impact the same rows. I tried outputting data to a log file to see if I can determine what happens and no error messages are returned but it seems to be the case that the NULL values occur after pulling in the data via a Data Reader. Has anyone seen anything like this before or does anyone have a suggestion on how to try and get some additional debugging information around this error?
I am working with a data set containing several years' of monetary values. I have entries for past dates and the associated values, and I also have entries for future dates. I need to populate the values of the future date records with the values from the same date the previous year. Is there any way this can be done in Power Pivot?
I have to use the above comma separated values into a SQL Search query whose datatype is integer. How would i do this Search query in the IN Operator of SQL Server. My query is :
declare @id varchar(50) set @id= '3,4,6,7' set @id=(select replace(@id,'''',''))-- in below select query Id is of Integer datatype select *from ehsservice where id in(@id)
But this query throws following error message:
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '3,4,6,7' to data type int.
