I am working to get 'NULL' as a string instead of blank in below shown Hierarchy
Level1: ASIA
Level2: (BLANK)
Level3: Indonesia
Malaysia
NOTE: In Level2 '(BLANK)' means it is actually blank.
I tried changing 'UnknownMemberName' to 'NULL' at the Dimension, but this did not work.
Is there a way - through a DMV or other query - that I can retrieve the collation for a hierarchy using code?I know that I can find out the server, cube, and hierarchy collation using SSMS. But I'm looking to do this in code, in order to compare collations between two cubes' dimensions, and compare member values.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a fact table that captures the captures oldest date between a Task date and todays date per Person (so there is only fact per person) like this - a measure is created from the Task Days
PersonID, Dateduekey, Task Days
130 20130809 679
I have a person dimension which has a hierarchy of Department_Name->Team_Name->Person I have created some MDX that gives the MAX Task Day for the hierarchy but when you Person attribute of the hierarchy the code runs really slow.with set a as nonempty(([v Dim Fee Earners].[People Structure].[Person],[Dim Calendar].[Primary Date].[All]),[Measures].[Days KPI]) member measures.a as max(existing(a),[Measures].[Days KPI])
How can I get this running for more efficiently when [v Dim Fee Earners].[People Structure].[Person] is selected? To be fair the true measure [Days KPI] is already calculated at person level so if there is way to use the [Days KPI] when [v Dim Fee Earners].[People Structure].[Person] is selected that would be good
I have a Tabular model with a situation where I want to have three alternate attributehierachies in one dimension.

Now I would like to put Vegetable on rows in a report without getting a blank row (with the sales of all Fruits)..I would like to supress all those Fruit records without adding a separate filter to the report, just let the user pick this Attribute should do the move.
I want to display Month and year from same time hierarchy in two separate columns.My hierarchy is as below:

I am using Tail function as I need only the last 13 months, below is my query:
with set [Month] as

tail([SHIP DATE].[Ship Date Hierarchy].[SHIP CAL MTH].members, 13)
}
select
{[Measures].[TAG BUID Distinct Count]} on 0,
{[Month]* [SHIP DATE].[Ship Date Hierarchy].[SHIP CAL YEAR]} on 1
from

This gives me error that The Ship Date Hierarchy hierarchy is used more than once in the Crossjoin function.
I am having a requirement as below. I am having a Emp_Dim dimension table which is having a Manager_Key which is dependent on again on the Emp_Key. Based on the designation I have to create a Hierarchy. I have to create a Hierarchy with 10 levels according to the Designation.
While extracting data I am giving a particular Area manager id in Emp_Key I should get the accumulated data (His and the employees working under him as well). So it's like my MDX query should be like this if I am giving any emp_key then I need all the business done by under him.
My doubt is how I can establish the relations between the different levels in my Hierarchy. I am pretty new to SSAS.
I am using a "Client" dimension that includes a "Holding - Client" hierarchy. I have to make sure, that only the appropriate roles may access appropriate members from this dimension, but I only have the information which role may access which ClientID - I do not have the information which HoldingID should be accessible. Also, "Client" is used as the key column of the dimension with "ClientID" and "HoldingID" as key columns. The hierarchy is strict, no client may belong to multiple holdings.
I cannot seem to find the right MDX for the allowed member set. My MDX expression would need to look like this:
[Client].[Holding - Client].[Client].&[*]&[123]
In this example I want to give access for client &123, no matter the holding, so &1&123 and &2&123 would be allowed.
Is this doable?
Any working example of what a ragged hierarchy should look like for the unary and custom rollup calcs to work?
I have a parent-child hierarchy that works as expected but can't manage to get the same with a flattened ragged hierarchy. Parents disappear if any of the children aren't in the fact table (even though the children are set to '~' and the parent has its own custom rollup calc).
Do I need to replicate the unary and measure formula all the way to the end in the same way i do the member name/value (so i can set ignore if same as parent)? Setting unary to null seems to work when the key doesnt exist in the fact table but the default behaviour for null is '+' so i end up getting wrong results if the key does exist!
Repro:
In words
I have an EAV style fact table. The measure name is defined in a 'dim measure' table. Some measures exist in the fact, some are manufactured using Unary ops or custom rollup formulas.
Here's a diagram of the hierarchy
I want to recreate the functionality as a flattened hierarchy (the number of levels is fixed), but can't seem to do it... Here's what I've gotten for the same hierarchy created using the two different approaches
Below are queries to recreate the tables from adventureworksdw2014. The parent child hierarchy is set up the standard way... measureparentkey is parent. set name, unary and formula as expected. Set NonLeafDataHidden for the parent attribute. I've tried various combinations for the ragged hierarchy but none work 100% of the time. I want to have a user defined hierarchy for the performance benefits.
--Fact view
CREATE View dbo.FactSales
AS
select fis.ProductKey
, fis.OrderDateKey
, 1 AS MeasureKey -- salesAmount
, fis.SalesAmount AS MeasureValue
[Code] .....
I have a time dimension which has Date, Week, Month and Year. However, the hierarchy will have only Week, Month and Year. It works great for any Sales measure with AggregateFunction as SUM.
I have created a new measure with AggregateFunction = LastNonEmpty. Also in the backend, I have pushed all the inventory data to last date in every month as inventory is always looked on a monthly basis not on a weekly basis. This measure shows correct data for every last week of the month in the hierarchy. However, Months and Years are displayed as zeros.
what I am doing wrong.
I have a disconnected utility dimension with the following data and a waterfall->subwaterfall hierarchy. I have ignore if same as parent set on sub water fall. The unary operator is assigned to the relevant level
WaterFall WaterFallUnary SubWaterFall SubWaterFallUnary
Opening ~ Opening ~
Price ~ Price ~
Total Composition ~ Composition L1 +
Total Composition ~ Composition L2 +
Total Composition ~ Composition L3 +
Total Composition ~ Composition L4 +
Total Composition ~ Composition L5 +
Closing ~ Closing ~
I'm using MDX to set values to the members
SCOPE(Measures.Waterfall,[Dim Waterfall].[Water Fall].&[Price]);
THIS=Measures.LowestPrice;
END SCOPE;
SCOPE(Measures.Waterfall,[Dim Waterfall].[Sub Water Fall].&[Composition L1]);
THIS=Measures.[Composition L1];
END SCOPE;
[Code] ....
But when i run a simple select query
SELECT
{[Measures].[Waterfall]} ON COLUMNS,
[Dim Waterfall].[Water Fall].[Water Fall] ON ROWS
FROM [GPA]
I only get a value for price. Total Composition is NULL. If I change my query to look at the subwaterfall level then I see values for composition L1->L5, so I know there are values there I was expecting the unary operator to aggregate my composition measures into Total Composition.
I should point out that every measure that's being assigned to my utility dim is calculated with in excess of a dozen or so steps and intermediate calcs, is this causing some kind of solve order issue?
I know that as a workaround i could probably do something like
SCOPE(Measures.Waterfall,[Dim Waterfall].[Water Fall].&[Total Composition]);
THIS=SUM([Dim Waterfall].[Hierarchy].[Water Fall].&[Total Composition].Children,Measures.Waterfall);
END SCOPE;
But that defeats the purpose of the unary operators

I want an MDX calculated dimension member, (with no measure specified in expression, so that any related measure can be used in a query/browse), and that accomplishes either one of the following:
Ideal: To calculate Median values on every level of a user hierarchy
If "Ideal" is not possible, then "Acceptable" is: To calculates Median values on one or more levels OTHER than the highest level.
I am working on a model where I have a sales fact table. Each fact record has four different customer fields (ship- to, sold-to, payer, and bill-to customer). I have one customer dimension table that joins to the sales fact table four times (once for each of the customer fields above). When viewing the data in Excel, I would like to have four hierarchies (ship -to, sold-to, payer, and bill-to customer) within Customer.
Is there a way to build hierarchies within my Customer dimension based on the same Customer table? What I want is to view the data in Excel and see the Customer dimension. Within Customer, I want four hierarchies.
We have a case where in we should show date based on conditions for e.g if we had a column defined as
col varchar(10) then we would show col as 'NULL' for some condition and actual value when no condition
Normaly date values are stored here e.g under col 20150901 .
Case
when col>'20150901' then 'NULL'
else col
end as Derivedcol
Note this is an extract process and we are presenting data by pumping the data in a table .
Now there is another similar column -colz varchar(10) which stores date but doesnt have case condition so whenever date has no value its shows null which is database null.
So whats the difference between database null and string null ?
How can we show database null for the case condition instead of string "null"?

I am trying to add a linked server from a AMD x64 server (Windows 2003) with SQL Server 2005 64 bit to a Server running SQL 2000. These are not in the same domain.
I can create a linked server using the option "Be made using the login's current security context" but can not when trying to specify the security context, i.e. sa and the sa password. When I try I get the following message:
Msg 15185, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addlinkedsrvlogin, Line 98
There is no remote user 'sa' mapped to local user '(null)' from the remote server 'DTS_FSERVER'.
I have several other x64 server that I have no problem creating a linked server and specifying sa and the sa password.
The problem with using "the login's current security context" option is that I get an error when trying to run any Jobs against the linked server. The job fails withe the following error:
Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. Access to the remote server is denied because no login-mapping exists. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7416). The step failed.
I'm sure the two errors are related. Any ideas what is going on?
I have employee members like

Problem setting is a geography dimension with multiple user defined hierarchies in SSAS 2008.
Ex.:
Hierarchy 1 (political territory): level 6 --> level 5 --> level 4 --> level 3 (state) --> level 2 --> level 1
Hierarchy 2 (sales territory): level 4 --> level 3 --> level 2 (sales region) --> level 1
...
Hierarchy 9
The relationship between state and sales region is n:1, i.e. one state belongs to exactly one sales region, and one sales region can consists of one or multiple states. Unfortunatly I can't define this attribute relationsship in the dimension because it would lead to a diamond-shaped relationsship without a user-defined-hierarchy to back it up. So far that isn't much of a problem, user don't drill down from sales region to state. But now I want to define a calculated member that multiplies a measure from the main measure group with another measure from a weighting factor measure group at the state level and above. The granularity attribute of the geography dimension in the dimension usage tab of the weighting factor measuregroup is the state.
So far what I've got is:
CREATE MEMBER Currentcube.Measures.[weighted measure state and above] AS NULL;
SCOPE (Measures.[weighted measure state and above],
Descendants(geography.[political territory].[all member],3,SELF_AND_BEFORE),
Descendants(geography.[salesterritory].[all member],2,SELF_AND_BEFORE),
... Descendants(geography.[hierarchy 9].[all member],1,SELF_AND_BEFORE)); this = sum(existing(geography.[political territory].state.members), measures.[main measure group measure] * measures.[weighting measure group measure]);END SCOPE;
This works from a functional point of view, but is rather slow when querying any other hierarchy than the political territory hierarchy, because SSAS first goes down from the state level to the key attribute of the geography dimension, and then aggregates from there to the sales region.In other words, I want SSAS to resolve the relationsship (which state belongs to which sales region) through the dimension, and not through the fact, and apply the calculation afterwards. Like some kind of currency conversion, but only from a certain level upwards.
I have a package where I need a dynamic connection string for an Analysis Services connection manager.
I have implemented this successfully for a Text data source, and a SQL data source, but the same approach does not seem to be working for an AS connection.
I set some expressions for the AS connection manager (ServerName, InitialCatalog, even the entire ConnectionString itself), but they don't take. I don't get any errors, but the task processes the cubes for the AS connection as it was established at run time. The design time connection string changes don't appear to get evaluated. This seems to be an issue only for AS connections.
Let me know if you have any ideas - thanks.
Hi,
I am having the requirement where I have to use string as measures. Is this possible in Analysis services 2K.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated
I don't know enough math to demonstrate that any numerical operationwith a null should yield a null; although I would guess that it's true.I just don't buy it, however, when dealing with strings and nulls. In asimple table with first, middle and last name columns, I would inferthat a null value in the middle name column means the HR person forgotto ask. A zero length string, however, tells me HR did ask and there isno middle name. Regardless of whether HR asked, when I concatenate thethree fields, I can't think of a sound reason why I souldn't get thefirst and last names.Having now started a flame war, I actually have a question: How do Iset the default for any given database or table so that concat nullyields null is permanently off? I have tried exec sp_dboption'myDB','concat null yields null',false (and many variations ondelimiting the parameters) but it doesn't do jack. I can use setconcat_null_yields_null off but that only lasts for the immediatesession.I've tried to follow the thread through the BOL but I'm left scratchingmy head on how to accomplish this.Thanks.Randy

the SQL string below worked, and then started bringing up every record.
it should only select records with a value in at least one of the columns, but it apears to be suggesting that all records have some data in one of the columns. if I check the database or the output on the web page there apears to be no data. ?? confused.

Folks, this isn't exactly a 'Getting Started' question, but I couldn't find a more appropriate Application Development forum.
I'm porting an open source PHP application (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gallery) to use SQL Server as a backend. One of Gallery's unit test scripts tests the ability to insert a string containing a NULL character ( ). It's OK if the string is truncated during insertion, just so long as everything before the is there.
The string being inserted looks like:
$testString = "The NULL character should be escaped !";
(Note the between "escaped " and " !")
The error that the Gallery test script is getting is:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near 'The NULL character should be escaped '.] in EXECUTE("INSERT INTO g2_PluginParameterMap (g_pluginType, g_pluginId, g_itemId, g_parameterName, g_parameterValue) VALUES ('module','unitTestModule',1,'test19476','The NULL character should be escaped !')")
It looks like SQL Server is complaining about the syntax. I've written a much simpler test script in the hopes of reproducing the problem, but I don't know if what I'm now hitting is the same problem or a different one.
My simple script is:
<?php
$localhost = exec("hostname");
$database = "gallery2";
$uid = "g2user";
$pwd = "g2pwd";
$connectString = "Host=PROVIDER=MSDASQL;DRIVER={SQL Server};";
$connectString .= "SERVER=$localhost\sqlexpress;";
$connectString .= "DATABASE=$database;";
$connectString .= "UID=$uid;PWD=$pwd";
$sqlTableDrop = "drop table ljmtemp";
$sqlTableCreate = "create table ljmtemp (col1 nvarchar(100))";
$sqlTableQuery = "select len(col1) from ljmtemp";
// Connect to the db
$db = new COM("ADODB.Connection") or die("Cannot start ADO");
$db->open($connectString);
// Drop & recreate the table
$db->Execute ($sqlTableDrop);
$db->Execute ($sqlTableCreate);
// Insert the test data
//$testString = "The NULL character should be escaped !";
$testString = "This is a test string.";
$res = $db->Execute("insert into ljmtemp (col1) values ('$testString')");
if (!$res) die ("INSERT failed");
// Disconnect from the db
$db->Close();
?>
And it results in:
C:MyServer>php testMsSqlInsertNull.php
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Description: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Unclosed quotation mark after the character string 'The NULL character should be escaped '.' in C:MyServer estMsSqlInsertNull.php:27
Stack trace:
#0 C:MyServer estMsSqlInsertNull.php(27): com->Execute('insert into ljm...')
#1 {main}
thrown in C:MyServer estMsSqlInsertNull.php on line 27
I'm not sure if this is the same problem as Gallery is reporting or another one.
It looks like somebody is treating the as a string terminator, but when i double the backslash the literal ' ' is inserted into the database.
How can I get SQL Server to insert at least everything up to the ?
Hopefully once I have my simple script working I'll be able to figure out what's wrong in the Gallery test.
Thanks.
