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.
how to replace this value with blank in the excel.
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?
how can use this mdx script in the calculation part of a cube, will i simply dump it in the script form by starting with the 'create member current cube.
[measures].[test]'
select
[measures].[abc] on 0,
[xyz].[xyz].(&0):[xyz].[xyz].(&60) on 1
from
(
select
(tail([month].[month].[month].members,6))on 0
from
[cube])
Is it possible to have more than one cube under one SSAS database? For example I have a database "Test" and in this the cube exist is "TestCube", is iit possible to deploy another cube "TestCube2" under the Test databse?
If yes then what is the process to do that, the reason I am asing is there are some common dimensions used n both the cubes and I am not sure what is the best way so that I can use the shared dimension?
I want to implement population data in sales cube.
Fact table has customer code which is foreign key of Customer master dimension which in turn is linked to census data dimension. Census data dimension have city wise population data having foreign keys of zone and state.
We want to add population data in fact table.
I have a .abf file, which I am attempting to restore. I go to Management Studio and attempt to restore the cube.
However, whenever I attempt to restore the following error message occurs:
"File 'C:/.......' specified in restore command is damaged or is not an AS backup file.
The following error occured:
Access is denied (Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services)
How can i deploy an existing cube with a new name on the same server?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am thinking of a possible design where the cube will never go offline.
Usually when I do some code changes on my cube the cube goes offline and I need to Full Process it again to get it back .
However , in cases where the cube is extremely critical for the business users , it would be great if I can deliver a solution where the cube never goes down.

View 3 Replies View RelatedBackground: I have a Huge fact dimension table(table has both measures and dimensions) that i am using to build a SSAS Cube.
The table didn't have a unique identifier, so the database team added ROW NUM as a column to the table which i am using as a PrimaryKey in my Cube build. I was able to create a cube successfully with it without any issues.
Problem: Now customers are asking for a 'Claim Count calculation' which shows the Distinct Claim Count.
Its defined as below :
Count(Distinct Claim_Number || Claim Year || Claim Month)
. All the 3 columns are available in table, but when i am trying to create this Count Distinct Object in the DSV the Cube processing time increased by 5 times, as now i have to use a GroupBy function in my SQL.(There are around 30 columns to group by).
Is there a better way to achieve this Count(Distinct Claim_Number || Claim Year || Claim Month) without using groupBy in DSV SQL logic? I cant seem to find any Count(Distinct) function in the Cube Calculation functions?
Environment: SSAS 2012 Multidimensional Model
I am working on SQL 2012.We have a SSAS Cube build. On top of it client use Excel to connect to SSAS Cube and See the reports.My Cube process every hour and take almost a 1-2 min to Process.When ever End user/Client See or refresh the Excel report (Which use Cube as Source),WHEN CUBE IS PROCESSING ,they get an error that Source is not available
We Have tried best but cannot bring down the Processing time of the cube to 3-5 Second , so that End user don't face report refresh issue at the moment of cube processing
Requirement :In Case End User see the report while Cube is processing from back end , Instead of Error they should see some customize Msg which we can provide some thing Like "Data is Refreshing , please wait ".
I have only 1 denormalized table that is being used in a SSAS Tabular model(which is about 3GB). I am doing a POC to convert it into a SSAS Multidimensional and explore it.
Table1
-----------------------
StoreName
StoreDesc
ItemName
ItemDesc
Qty1
Cost1
Price1
Amount1
1st Question) I am seeing that there is no Primary Key(unique key) in the current denormalized table. (Tabular Model didnt require any primary key). But i think for Multidimensional the key is mandatory? Should i generate a composite key myself in a Named Query based on this table(in the DSV)?
2nd Question) What is the best way to design my Multidimensional Cube/Dimensions based on this single table?
Say if i comeup with a Composite Primary Key called (PK_ID) . Should i be splitting up my facts / dimensions in my DSV using Named Queries similar to below(Using the same PK for my dimension tables also?)
a) FactTable = Select PK_ID, Qty1,Cost1,Price1,Amount1 from Table1
b) StoreDim = Select PK_ID, StoreName,StoreDese from Table1
c) ItemDim = Select PK_ID, ItemName,ItemDesc from Table1
Would this work?
For Example: I have one dimension named as "Name", Under this I have "FirstName" and "LastName" Attributes are there.But when i drag "Name" dimension, By default "First Name" dragged. But i Want "Last Name" should drag.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to copy my Data of 2015 to the Planning/Forecasting Value of 2016?
My question is based on that we use INFOR ION BI right now and there we can just add an Button in our reports wich physically copies the value from one year to the next year based on some other rules in the cube.
Now I need to make this example work with SSAS and Excel PivotTables but I cant figure out how.
I have absolutely no clue where and how to accomplish it. Do I use Calculations, do I use Actions, do i make it in the Dataview, Cube or directly in Excel?
I have a dimension like Districts, Under that 2 Attributes are there i.e,District ID and Districts. When i drag Dimension "Districts", in OLAP grid it come District ID first. But i want Districts to drag first. How can we sort Attributes(District ID and Districts) for a dimension.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I want to change the color of the ssas cube calculated member in formview from red background to white or back to default color settings. This also includes changing the text color back to default. What properties do I have to change?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've created a cube and it processed fine. The calculate command is there. The measure that I'm attempting to run in the SSAS/Visual Studios browser is simply a count rows measure. When I drag the measure to the window, it says no rows available. If I click on the filter that allows nulls, the only change it makes is that it goes from no rows available to "NULL".

When I try to connect from excel , to SSAS Getting error message like
A Connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
If I connect to SSIS , I'm able to connect correctly.
Why I'm getting this error and how to overcome this?
I am working with SSAS Tabular. I have a stand alone table with 60 columns and contains 120K records. Table size is 250MB. And trying to build a tabular report out of it and it is taking longer and throwing exception, screenshot attached.
It might be cross-join issues, as workaround created a dummy measure and using in report. But it working for 10-20 k records and beyond throwing same exception. I have 8 GB RAM and 100 GB free disk space.
Customer wanted it in SSAS Tabular...
Im trying to pull a workbook which has a power pivot into SSAS using a remote tabular instance through visual studio 2013. However Im getting an error saying, " We cannot import the workbook XXXXX.xlsx. Try placing the work book on a server that the service account of DBNAME/Tabular has permission to read and that can be reached with a UNC path (//<server>/<shared>/<file>)". Here DBNAME is the server name and Tabular is the instance name.
I tried changing the logon name in SQL server analysis services(Tabular) in Services.msc Microsoft console.Also tried changing the logon to local system. Still the error persists.
how to overcome this error?
I have a Tabular data model and I'm returning a measure that counts employees (each row is an employee) and then a calculated column in the model that gets SeniorityInMonths.
So if an employee was hired exactly 1 year ago, they would have 12 in this column.
I want to group these into bins, but the Group option is grayed out.
I'm exploring creating local cube files, .cub from an excel sheet with tables.Would SSAS be able to create one cube from taking data from a 1 way table (A, B, C), a 2 way table (AxB, BxC, AxC) and a 3 way table (AxBxC)?

Hello,
I've run into a problem building a new olap cube. It's taking 15 minutes or more when pulling on a dimension before I've even pulled on any measures. This happens in Excel as well as Management Studio. When it does display it seems to only show dimension members that it has data for. In addition, running profiler seems to indicate that it queries each of my partitions when it's doing this. I know that in my last cube if you pulled on a dimension, no members would show up yet and it would be fast. However I can't seem to find the property that's telling it not to query the partitions to determine what members to show. Any ideas?

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.
Please help i have an error when i try to browse a cube.
= "Unable to browse the cube."
"Unable to locate the cube." or "Unspecified error."

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?
Is there any way to track the information about the connections to SSAS cubes through local Excel files (BI usage).
OPreviously, we are tracing the information about the BI usage through the BI SharePoint site. Now we want track the users who are using through local excel files .
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
