Analysis :: Browsing Cube In Excel With Report Filters
Apr 29, 2015
I am built the cube and processed. The fact table has 2 keys from the same dimension table.
My customers asked me that they want to browse the cube with report filters. The scenario is very strange.
They want to filter on same dimension with different conditions.
For example, they want to use the condition as ProductCode IN (...) and ProductName NOT IN (...)
How can I do this when browsing the cube in excel or any where?

I have connected to SQL SERVICES ANALYSIS SERVICE database through excel and when I observed that value of the date attribute is displayed as ######## in the excel for 1/1/1753.
I am able to see the value 1/1/1753 in the Cube browser but not able to see the vale in the excel.

So I use Excel 2010 connect to a cube I have built. Then I change some values in the cube via my ETL and re-process the cube. Then I verify that record is NOT there in the fact table - check!
However, when I refresh the worksheet where the pivot table is pulling data from the cube, but that old record wont go away!
Just realized my cube data source on the dev server, was in fact still configured with my local workstation name. Once I updated that, processed the cube all was well.

I have created one Multidimensional CUBE, while browsing(Analyze in Excel) it in Excel, I am unable to create TimeLine Slicer.It is giving me following error as: "We can't create Timeline for this report because it doesn't have field formatted as Date".
I have Dim_Date having Date as a column of Day level granularity. In PowerPivot, we do mark Dim_Date Table as a 'Date Table'.In the same way, do we have to set anything here so that Excel will come to the Date format for TimeLine Slicer?

I installed Analysis Server on my laptop (Win Xp Pro) and created a cube as mentioned in the Analysis Manager Concepts & Tutorial. In the last setp of creating a dimention (Where i will give the dimention a name) i got this message in the preview pane: "Unable to browse the dimension 'New Dimension'. Provider can't be found. It may not be properly installed".
I ignored this error, and completed building the cube, then processed it successfully, but when browsing the cube, it gives the message:"Unable to display the cube until it has been processed. (Unspecified error)".
more prcesses to the cube woun't do any good.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

When we browse the cube in management studio we are able to see the correct aggregates where as in the report from reporting services we are just getting the sums instead of running aggregates especially in the intersection cells of columns and rows. ( where ever the aggregrate function is difference/division. )
Is there a setting in reporting services which would make the report return the running aggregates like in the management studio.
thanks in advance

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.
Help!!!!

We have hidden few measure groups in cube for time being, where Users can browse the cube with Excel pivot. But, All these measures can be seen from Excel pivot in 'Show fields related to' drop down.
Need to remove the hidden measure groups from showing in Excel pivot and to remove 'All' option in 'Show Fields related to', So that users may not get confused by seeing all the measures. Can we achieve this.

After connected to Analysis Services and following the path below:
Analysis Service - Databases - Cubes
I create the parameters for a custom report after right click on a specific Cube and select Browse to arrive at a view where i can define dimensions and parameters as well as drag and drop measure to the report rows and columns. The left top File bottom only give me a Save Selection or Save ALL option. However, i'm not sure where it saves it to or if it saves the settings for this custom report at all.
I pull this report monthly and it's a pain to recreate all the parameters. How to save this template for future pulls or maybe even incorporate the pull into excel for monthly refresh instead?

I have a Fact table that contains several degenerate string values that I have pulled into a Fact Dimension.
When I browse the cube and cut one of the measures by an attribute from the Fact Dimension, I am getting incorrect data.
In other words, when I query the fact table directly via SQL and apply the same filters, I see the data I am expecting to see. But cube browse with same filters yields different results.
How can this happen since the fact dimension has a 1:1 relationship with the fact table.
I do have the Dimension Usage configured properly.
Is this an aggregation thing? Attribute key thing? What am I missing?

I have problems creating a cube with AMO.
I can add the cube to the database object and fill it with dimensions and a measuregroup (see code below).
If I call cube.Update() it says something like "Error in meta data manager. Cube has no measuregroups." (getting the message in german language)
The error in Microsoft.AnalysisServices.OperationException.Results.Messages is -1055653629
I can't find any documentation about this (or any other) error code in Microsoft documentation.
Here's my Code:
Cube newCube = database.Cubes.Add("MyCube","MyCube");
newCube.Language = 1031;
newCube.Collation = "Latin1_General_CI_AS";
CubeDimension dim = newCube.Dimensions.Add("dim1","dim1","dim1");
CubeAttribute attrib = dim.Attributes.Find("dim1Attr1");
[code]....

I 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,

I'm trying to calculate the average number of sick days per person so that it can be broken down by person role or department or some other dimension. I have a calculation for sick days that works ok and is [measures].[sick days.I'm trying to create another calculation that is [total staff] but it doesn't work.
My final calculation will be [avg sick days] = [measures].[sick days] / [measures].[total staff]
The bit I can't get to work is making it ignore any filters. For example I have a measure called [staff] and as you would expect it can be broken down by [person].[role] or [department].[department].
I'm trying to get [total staff] to return the total when it's used with [person] or [department]. I've managed to get it to work with [person] by using ROOT([Person]) but then I will need to do this for all different hierarchies that will use it.

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

I have two different roles, each one with a dax filter. One is for filtering users that access by Excel, and other for filtering users that access by Reporting Services, respectively:
=CONTAINS(FILTER(V_FILTRO_C;V_FILTRO_C[IDPerfilGrupo]<>7);V_FILTRO_C[iCursoCod];[SK_CURSO];V_D05_DIM_UTIL[DSC_LOGIN_USER];RIGHT(USERNAME();LEN(USERNAME())-SEARCH("";USERNAME())))
=CONTAINS(FILTER(V_FILTRO_C;V_FILTRO_C[IDPerfilGrupo]<>7);V_FILTRO_C[iCursoCod];[SK_CURSO];V_FILTRO_C[IDUtilizador];VALUE(CUSTOMDATA()))
To create only one role that serves Excel and Reporting Services users, is it viable to use only the || (OR) operator?, is there any other regard i should take?

I 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.

Hi,
I have applied two filters for table in the SSRS report, one is StartDate and another is EndDate. But I was unable to choose the Boolean operator (And/Or) to use to combine this expression.
I came to know that the Boolean operator cell activates after we begin to enter an expression in the next row. But by default it is set as "And" operator. Now i want to cahnge that to "Or" operator it is in disable. Is there any way to enable this cell to choose the operator from the cell.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have created a report showing both first name and last names with the following filters. Both of them are prompted parametres
Last Name Contains ------------------
First Name Contains ------------------
When users enters both then we get the results back. I want the first name to be optional such that if user enters something for the first name then take it into the search criteria else show all the first names which matches the last name criteria.
Example: Last Name = "SMITH", First Name = (user has not entered and NULL check box is checked). I don't get any results since this filter translates to find all the records which has the last name SMITH and First Name IS NULL),
Instead I want this to be select all the records which has the last name SMITH and First Name <> EMPTY. Is there a way I can do this using the fiter magic?
Thanks.

Hi,
I was talking to my boss to day and our report request are not very consistant. We always having someone coming back to change something in our report. We were thinking of useing something called the Cube Analysis. Then it give our employees the raw data for them to run any standard query for themself. We have folks that want a report one way, but then they changed their minds and we are creating yet another report 4 or 5 times. what are your thoughts about this type of database?

I'm making my first attempt at creating a cube using Analysis Services based on my exisiting datamart. Datasource, views, and dimensions have been defined. But comes deploying the cube, it's giving the error saying "A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running." The Deploy Target server and database are the same where my datamart is. Or, maybe I don't know what I'm doing.
Would appreciate any suggestion for my enlightenment. Thanks

I setup Hiarchy in the dimentions of my cube, however when I go and look at it via proclarity, I can't see the hiearchy there.
I have one table that has:
Category
Subcategory
Partnumber
And I have the hiearchy set from Subcategory to partnumber.
Then I go into proclarity and limit the category by "my catname" and I still see the 8000 partnumbers in the list.
Any ideas?

I have a (hopefully typical) problem when it comes to cube design. Westore millions of product records every year, broken down bymonth/quarter. Each product can be assigned to various heirarchialclassification groups etc. The data in an OLTP DB occupies roughly100G for a typical year.We're looking at breaking this out into OLAP to provide faster accessto the data in various configurations and groupings. This is not aproblem, as this is the intended use for Analysis Services.The problem is that we apply projection factors on the product pricesand quantities. This would be ok if it only happened once, however,this happens every quarter (don't ask why). The projection factorschange 4 times a year, and they affect all historical product records.This presents a challenge because to aggregate the data into a usefulconfiguration in the cubes, you throw out the detail data, but thismeans throwing out the price and quantities which are needed to applythe projection.So if you have Product A at $10 and Product B at $20, and roll both upinto Category X, you'll have $30, but you'll lose the ability to applya projection factor of .5 to Product A and .78 to Product B. They'rerolled up.I don't want to regenerate the cubes every 3 months. That's absurd.But we can't live without the ability of projection theprices/quantities on a product level (detail level). So how can thisbe achieved when the other cubes are created at a higher level withless details and sums of the detail data?My initial guess is that we have to update the product data, and thenreaggregate all the other data that is built upon that product data.Is there any other way to apply math to the data on the way out?Thanks in advance!Regards,Zach
