Question Related To Roles On Analysis Service
Oct 12, 2004Hi,
One of my users is supposed to have full access to all other dimesions except for one and thus I have defined a customized role on one of 4 dimensions that I have.
When I test the role (from the front-end), I am getting a strange message in my front-end and could it be that I also have to define a role for this user on all other dimensions? Should I define the role on the server or the client??? As you can guess, I am a bit confused and will appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Analysis :: 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.

Jun 5, 2007I work with 2 cubes on live and one for development. I've set the roles in the live cube (using SQL Server management studio). If i go to the design mode of the cube the new roles are not there, so deploying the cube will not update the development cube with the roles. How one can easily copy roles between cubes. (adding them manually would be a lot of work because there are quite a lot of different roles).

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.?

Nov 25, 2015I am facing a very weird issue in our SSAS database. We have several roles with 'Read definition' access. None of these roles are able to see data in the cubes. I have checked these roles over and over and there is no problem with the definition. Each of the roles have been given read access to Data Source, Cube and Dimensions.
The users are able to access the definition and structure of the cube i.e. they can see the measures & dimensions available but when they drag measures and dimension attributes in the browser (SSMS) OR execute an MDX - they get null values. The roles with 'Full Control (administrator)' access are able to see all the data without any issues.
I have tried the following:
1. Deleted all roles and re-created.
2. Created roles directly on SSAS DB.
3. Deployed all objects and processed the DB.
Each time only the admins are able to see the data.
Analysis :: SSAS Tabular - Dynamic Security Roles - Mixing Together DAX Filters
Oct 10, 2015I 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?

How To Connect To Analysis Service Database Through Reporting Service?
Mar 31, 2006Hello,
In our project, we would like to use the same data source for our analysis service database cubes and for our reporting service reports.
I created the analysis service project first, deployed successfully. When trying to setting up the data source in the report model project, I selected the "create a data source based on another object", and then selected the "create a data source based on an analysis service project". However, there is no analysis service project to select, and no browse button to see where the reporting service is looking for analysis service project either.
I have tried creating a new analysis service project with data source views, cubes, dimensions and all the stuff, but still cannot see the analysis service project in the drop down box to be selected for my reporting model project data source.
As I am fairly new to the reporting service, I'm sure I'm missing something, but couldn't find much information in the help or on the web. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much,
Annie
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,

Analysis :: MDX LastPeriods Not Working When Creating New Member?
Jul 20, 2015I have an issue which I cannot seem to resolve, what I need to do is to create a new member in an existing dimension which lets me filter the results of the last two weeks (this should start from last week, so ignoring the current week). I've tried a few approaches which seemed to have worked when browsing via excel, but when I tried using this in PowerView things were not right. I need a graph which shows the day on the Axis and then a single measure, with the filter being set to the last two weeks.
In management studio I got the following to work and show me the week, date and the measure:
select
(
LastPeriods(2,[Date].[Week Calendar].[Year].&[2015].&[30]&[2015].lag(1))
,[Date].[Calendar].[Date].allmembers
) on rows,
[Measures].[On Schedule %] on columns
from [Flight Movement]
where {([Flight Leg].[Direction].&[Arrival]),([Flight Leg].[Direction].&[Departure])}
This filters the results and only shows the relevant weeks and dates. When I try to put the LastPeriods logic into a new member, it returns all the dates in the dimension. This is what I am trying:
with member [Date Calculations].[Date Calculations].[Test]
AS
(LastPeriods(2,[Date].[Week Calendar].[Year].&[2015].&[30]&[2015].lag(1)))
select
(
[Date Calculations].[Date Calculations].[Test],
[Date].[Calendar].[Date].allmembers
) on rows,
[Measures].[On Schedule %] on columns
from [Flight Movement]
where {([Flight Leg].[Direction].&[Arrival]),([Flight Leg].[Direction].&[Departure])}
Analysis :: Creating Tabular Model On OLTP
Nov 4, 2015I have been looking at implementing a tabular model based on an OLTP database that's not dimensional. I know that this is possible but during my proof of concept I have encountered numerous problems ...
The things that I have run into are: After setting up the relationships I have found that measures filter context don't propagate along the relationships as I would expect. if the measure is coming from a target table and not a source then an ALL member is returned ( as in multi dimensional when a dimension isn't related to a measure group). Given the lay out of an OLTP database this will be hard to avoid.
One thing I have done to try an mitigate the above problem is to combine the tables used for measures in a view and using that in the source to connect to the rest of the tables. however due to the tables being of different grains this has then created duplication in some of the keys and measures. so the keys cant be used in relationships and the measures aren't accurate.
Are these things other people have come across? or should I give up the ghost and just recommend using dimensional models for the source? is tabular just geared towards a DW the same as multidimensional?
