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
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 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.
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?

Survey QuestionID Answer

I'd like to perform a pivot on it like this: select * from @tbl Pivot (min(Answer) for QuestionID in ([1], [2])) as PivotTable
...however, I can't just name the [1], [2] values because they're going to change.
Instead of naming the values like this:
for QuestionID in ([1], [2], [3], [4])
I tried something like this:
for QuestionID in (select distinct QuestionID from @tbl)
but am getting a syntax error. Is it possible to set up a pivot like this:

or does anyone know another way to do it?
how can I retrieve translated attributes using mdx query. I have translated my dimension's attribute in French(France) but not getting it in caption column. I used below query
SELECT * from $SYSTEM.MDSCHEMA_LEVELS
LEVEL_CAPTION column has same value as LEVEL_NAME. I ran this query after changing default language of analysis service to French(France).
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 have a problem with calculating discount in PowerPivot analysis. I have
dCalendar , dDiscount, fSalesBook .
dDiscount columns:
DiscKey, StartDate, EndDate, Product, DiscountName, DiscountPercent
fSalebook columns:
OrderDate, Product, Qty, Sales, Discount
dCalendar columns:
Date, Holiday, MonthNo, MonthName, QuarterNo, QrtName, Year.
The problem (at least I feel) is I defined some dates in the Startdate and Enddate for a particular year. But these discounts should apply for all of the years in my fSalesBook, not just for that year in the dDiscount table.
So in essence, when you calculate discount for a product in fSalesBook you should consider only the month and day of the transaction, if the sale is in between the discount dates.
I have the following relationships.
Table [Column] ------->Table [Column]
fSalesBook[OrderDate] -----> dCalendar[Date]
I am not sure how to relate the dDiscount table with the dCalendar table and not sure even there is a need to relate them to calculate Row level discount in fSalesBook. You can change the relations/model if there is need be.
PS: One more clause, Sometimes I offer discount only for a particular product in that Discount season, that's why there is a column for Product in the dDiscount table.
What should be my DAX formula to calculate Row level discount in fSalesBook?

I have set up a cube running under MSSQL Server 2000 Analysis services and have created reports in Excel 2002 using pivot tables and linking into the cube as an external data source.
The pivottable works fine and I can slice / dice as usual, the only thing that doesnt work is the drill through into AS. I receive and error message saying "Cannot show detail data for that selection...".
Now I know that the drill through works, as when I create a report using the Analsyis Services Excel Add Inthe drill through works fine, its just how do I get it working using the pivot tables ?
fyi - the reason I dont want to use the Analsyis Services Excel Add In for all the reports is because I have to deploy this to XX number of users, who wont have admin rights on their machines etc etc....
Is there any VB that I could use to perform this drill through and return the results.....or easier ??
Thanks very much

We couldn't find a way to show row/column members in the order as in the database. The Pivot table always applies alphabetical sorting:
Is there really no way to show items as per database order?
Hi all.
I moved my OLAP DB to SQL Server 2005, installed Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services 9.0 on the client and keep creating Pivot Tables in Excel until...
Grouping - when I try to group couple of members (or even 1 for that matter) I'm getting :
"Intrnal error: An unexpected error occurred (file"mdinfo.cpp", line 3335 function "MDInfo::Init")."
The only reference to mdinfo error I found in OLAP newsgroup where a guy was getting it trying to process the cube. My cube is processed (obviuosly). So, anybody knows what has changed with respect to grouping in PTS?

I have a pivot transform that pivots a batch type. After the pivot, each batch type has its own row with null values for the other batch types that were pivoted. I want to group two fields and max() the remaining batch types so that the multiple rows are displayed on one row. I tried using the aggregate transform, but since the batch type field is a string, the max() function fails in the package. Is there another transform or can I use the aggragate transform another way so that the max() will work on a string?

Is it possible to use a expression as a pivot key value?
I need to take data from one table and pivot it into another but what pivots to where is conditional, so I'm wondering if it's possible to say something like
"where Column1 = 'A' and Column2 = 'B' " in the pivot key value.
I'm trying to get it to work but can't, just keep getting the 'No pivot Key found' error.
Thanks
Hello there,
I need to get the last value (status) from a child table. I try to simplify the problem with the following example.
Create Table Users
(
UserId int,
Lastname nvarchar(50)
)
Create Table UserStatus
(
UserId int,
Date datetime,
StatusId int
)
Create Table Status
(
StatusId int
Status nvarchar(50)
)
A user will go through all Status one by one. (1) Registered -> (2) In progress -> (3) authorized.
Now I want to know which users are in progress (2) but a simple select statement like:
Select LastName from Users Inner Join Users.UsersId = UserStatus.UserId Where UsersStatus.StatusId = 2
Will not return the wanted records because all authorized Users have been in this status.
I hope you understand the problem and can help me out.
Thx in advance.

Here is some sample data:
CREATE TABLE
#MyTable
(
Pk INT,
GroupID INT,
Value VARCHAR(10)
[code]...
I am looking to retrieve any GroupID in which every Value of that GroupID is either (a) null, (b) an empty string, or (c) "XYZ". So in the above example, GroupID #1 would not be returned in my query because there is a Value of "ABC", but GroupID #2 would be returned since it consists of only nulls, "XYZ"'s, and empty strings.What would be the most efficient way to write such a query?

I have a very small SSAS database with around 35 Mb. I opened it on Excel 32 bits and started dragging fields to a pivot table and it started failing with memory errors. The behavior on the SSAS server was that memory started growing very fast until 8 GB (vm memory total) and then the error is reported in excel.
What might be the issue in such a small database? I would understand in a big database, but not on this one.

I know that there would be a problem with the headers, but that i could solve by using a second dummy for cprf_nbr and increase it with 10 (ex.)
Until knwo i did the jobg with a case statement, but it would be much nicer with a PIVOT.
Hi, i m using vwd 2005 express and sql express. i have created following tables table_office,table_customer,table_order in my sql express. i also added one more table named table_final. In my webform i have 2 textbox and submit button plus(controls to take values for table_office,table_customer,table_order).so when user fills the form and clicks the button the data gets inserted into thier respected tables.similarly table_final gets populated with values in this way (id,name,address,table_office_id,table_customer_id,table_order_id) Now when displaying the output in the gridview. i combined values of all these tables together. its fine till here. Now what i want is i want to write a query to retrieve these values back into the webform . Here i want the values from all the tables back into the webform controls on a click of a button.so that i can modify it manually, make updation on it and finally show it into gridview. i hope i m able to make u understand. anyway can somebody help me with simple code(C#) and sql query to achieve this task.? thanks. jack.

Hi,
my configuration file provides parameters that are used for an SQL query in my package. However, for these parameters it must be possible to pass NULL to the query.
This seems to be impossible in SSIS..? If the config file provides no value, the package uses a default value - and this default value can not be null.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,

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.
Hi. did know where to put it so...
I just want to know how can i renew my data from a pivot table.
I have a SP in SQL and from that i get my pivot table in excel.How would i renew the data? Do i have to make a job in SQL and if so, what will it do? Just run the SP again? Or do i have to do something with excel? Or is it done automatically when you create your pivot?
Thanks.
I have a pivot transform that it believe is configured correctly but is not distributing the values accross the columns on the same row. for example.
input:
id seqno codevalue
1 A red
1 B red
2 C blue
2 A green
2 B violet
3 A green
desired output:
id Seq_A Seq_B Seq_C
1 red red null
2 green violet blue
3 green null null
what I am getting:
id Seq_A Seq_B Seq_C
1 red null null
1 null red null
2 green null null
2 null violet null
2 null null blue
3 green null null
I do have the pivot usage for the id column set to 1. I have the pivot usage for seqno column set to 2 and codevalue column set to 3. I have the source column for each of the output columns set to the lineageID of the apprpriate input columns. I have the pivotKey values set for each of the destination columns. A for column Seq_A, B for column Seq_B, C for column Seq_C. All four columns have sortkey positions set; 1 for id, 2 for Seq_A, 3 for Seq_B and 4 for column SEQ_C.
It seems like the id column's pivot usage is not set to 1 like it should but when I check it is 1.
I also have several other pivot transforms in the same data flow and they are working as expected.
I have a suspicion that there is some hidden meta data that is messed up that is over-ridding my settings (just my guess) I have deleted this transform and re-done it several times, checking each configuration value, but still getting the same result.
Need some help or thoughts on making this work.
Thanks
Hello!
I have 2 tables, one that contains a set of codes and their definitions, and another where each record has a field that contains several of these codes separated by commas:
Tab1
SubCode | Definition
---------------
S100 | Def of S100
S101 | Def of S101
S102 | Def of S102
Tab2
DepID | Purpcode |SubCodes
-----------------------------
1 | P100 | S100,S101,S102
1 | P101 | S100, S101
2 | P101 | S100,S102
I'm trying to create a query against Tab1 so that it retrieves a recordset of Subcodes and definitions based on the contents of the Subcodes field for a record in Tab2. I've tried this using a subquery, as follows:
SELECT SubCode ,Definition
FROM Tab1
WHERE SubjectCode IN
(SELECT CHAR(39) + REPLACE(SubjectCodes, CHAR(44), CHAR(39 + CHAR(44)+ CHAR(39)) + CHAR(39)
FROM Tab2
WHERE DepID = 1 AND PurposeCode = 'P101')
The subquery will return: 'S100','S101' and I expect the final recordset to be:
SubCode | Definition
---------------
S100 | Def of S100
S101 | Def of S101
However, it's not returning any records. If I execute the subquery separately and then plug its results into the main query e.g.
SELECT SubCode ,Definition
FROM Tab1
WHERE SubjectCode IN ('S100','S101')
it returns the expected recordset. Does anyone have any pointers? It's driving me nuts..
Cheers

I'd like to get a extract table result, with a reference id primary key, showing the maximum dates for events and who was responsible for them. I can get the max(date) field in columns using PIVOT, but can't see a way to get the 'who' field without lots of LEFT JOINs.
Here's some test data and code which shows the principle:
CREATE TABLE #t
(
ref INT ,
id INT ,
who VARCHAR(10) ,
checkin DATE
[Code] ....
The result set is:
ref 1 who1 2 who2 3 who3 4 who4

456 NULL NULL 2014-01-17 NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL
Is there some way to avoid all the LEFT JOINs, maybe by using another PIVOT, to produce the same result?

I have 2 excel tables files.One table has info about sales by country, by model, by date...and the other table has units by date.Obviously, the common key is "date"....and by creating a relationship, I can add "units" to my combined resulting table.However, I can't create the relationship. Excel keeps telling me: "the relationship cannot be created because each column contains duplicate values. Select at least one column that contains only unique values".
