I have just run an MDX query which returns a result set within Excel 2013. The column names are in the following format; -
[Dimension Name].[Hierarchy Name].[Attribute Name].[MEMBER CAPTION].
Where I just simply want the attribute name on it's own and simply the measure name for the measures.
How to right choose key column in"Mining Structure" for Microsoft Analysis Services?
I have table:
"Incoming goods"
Create table Income (
ID int not null identity(1, 1)
[Date] datetime not null,
GoodID int not null,
PriceDeliver decimal(18, 2) not null,
PriceSalse decimal(18, 2) not null,
CONSTRAINT PK_ Income PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (ID),
CONSTRAINT FK_IncomeGood foreign key (GoodID) references dbo.Goods ( ID )
)
I'm trying to build a relationship(regression) between “Price Sale” from Good and “Price Deliver”.But I do not know what column better choose as “key column”: ID or GoodID ?
I'm trying to return the EOY (12/31/14) value for measure Average Balance when I pass in a Date current member. This current member may also be at a Month, Quarter or Year level of the Post Date dimension. I've tried:
[Measures].[AverageBalance], ([Post Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember).Lag(1))
([Measures].[AverageBalance], ClosingPeriod([Post Date].[Calendar].[Month], Ancestor([Post Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember, 1).Lag(1)))
IIF([Post Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember.Level.Name = "Date", ([Measures].[AverageBalance], Ancestor([Post Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember, 3).Lag(1))
And a lot of other commands but nothing is returning the correct value.
I am new one in MDX. Our PeriodsToDate function does not return any value. We have set type property of our Date Dimension as time.Actually CURRENT MEMBER does not return a valid value. So our PeriodsToDate function fail.
With MEMBER [Measures].[YTD Actual]
AS
Aggregate
(
PeriodsToDate
(
[DimDate].[CalendarHierarchyDateLevel].[Calendar Year]
,[DimDate].[CalendarHierarchyDateLevel].CURRENTMEMBER
)
[code]....
I have managed to use the BI Wizard for time intelligence and added YTD and MTD successfully. I notice the values returned are empty, and I think this is due to the fact that all the test data I use is many years old. What's the simplest way to resolve this issue so that I can see that these MDX functions return correct values? Changing the system date on this company laptop is not an option.

Basically it gets the date from the source data column and outputs it as an integer in the YYYYMMDD format.So 01/OCT/2015 would become --> 20151001...I've been fidgeting with DAX but my problem is that I keep missing the leading zeroes for months and days. So 01/March/2015 becomes 201531 which is not what I want (I need 20150301 in this case).

Hi,
Using SSIS, I am importing the data of a text file into a sql server table.
After the import, I Can not figure out why the texts inside the sql server have double quotes around them. This is similar to the data inside the text file. For example, the value "Simpsons" appears with the "" as you can see whereas I want it to appear without the "" inside the sql server table.
In the connection manager, the file connection has a text qualifier of <None>
Thanks
Hi
How can I import txt files, in which data sometimes can contain
the letter that is used as text qualifier
Example txt file: 'abc',123, 'john's',12
Here the word -john's- contains the same letter as the text qualifier I have to use.
Can it be true, that this can't be done i MS SQL, when it can be done in MS Excel, Paradox etc..
Regards
Carsten H.
Hi all,
I'm trying to use DTS to import a space delimited file. One column uses " as a text qualifier so I set this in the options. The problem arises when a " shows up between the 2 text qualifiers. It's seen as a set of qualifiers with a 2nd qualifier with no end. I obviously get an error at this point. Anyone have any good advice on how to squash this one?
I have installed Standard SQL 2005. I have a problem to import text file in db because of text qualifier {"} not working.
Does anyone have the same problem? Is it a problem in my installation?
Thanks for ant comments.

Hello there,
I have created a package which will copy rows from csv file to SQL database. I have a field into the csv file which contains numeric data. and I am keeping this into the database as numeric too. for example, a column into the csv named "amount" needs to be transfer into the data table where the corresponding column name is "amount" and its data type is numeric and the field can contain null values. I am using the double quote(") text qualifier on to the csv file. Now my problem is, some rows into the csv file contains null values for amount column. for example..lets take a look on my csv file content...
"Name", "Salary"
"Jhon Stuart", "35.66"
"Maria Gree", ""
Notice the second row of the csv where the Salary value has left as an empty string. Now my intention is to import these data into the database and the salary value for Maria should be remain as null. But the package is generating an error for this row. it says..
There was an error with input column "Salary" (61) on input "OleDB Destination Input (47)" . The column status returned was : The value could not be converted because of potential loss of data.
Can any body help me on this? What would be the solution for this? if I modify the row into csv file as following
"Maria Gree", "0.00"
then it works. But I dont want to fill the field with zero into the DB. I want it would be set with NULL value..which make sense.
Any Idea?
Thanks in advance.
I'm starting to use SQL 2008 recently, and I'm just having trouble with the following problem:
The following query:
SELECT t_Category.Name as [Category]
FROM t_Assets, t_Category, t_Priority, t_Location, t_User_Assets
WHERE t_Assets.Asset_ID = t_User_Assets.Asset_ID
AND t_Category.Category_ID = t_User_Assets.Category_ID
AND t_Priority.Priority_ID = t_User_Assets.Priority_ID
AND t_Location.Location_ID = t_User_Assets.Location_ID
Returns this result:
Category
BMS
BMS
Water
BMS
BMS
Air
And the following query:
SELECT COUNT(t_Category.Category_ID) AS AssetQty
FROM t_Assets, t_Category, t_Priority, t_Location, t_User_Assets
WHERE t_Assets.Asset_ID = t_User_Assets.Asset_ID
AND t_Category.Category_ID = t_User_Assets.Category_ID
AND t_Priority.Priority_ID = t_User_Assets.Priority_ID
AND t_Location.Location_ID = t_User_Assets.Location_ID
GROUP BY t_Category.Category_ID
Returns this result:
AssetQty
4
1
1
I need to have both of those results returned, as a single result. Such as:
Category AssetQty
BMS 4
WATER 1
AIR 1
However, I'm not able to, due to the fact, that if I add the "t_Category.Category.Name" in the SELECT clause, it gives me the following error:
Column 't_Category.Name' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
And if I try to use the "Name" as part of the count clause, it won't work, as text are not acceptable data types for aggregations.

MDX query to get the source table and column for a measure from ssas database. i want below highlighted using mdx.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble with cube processing. While processing a code I'm getting a "Invalid column name MessageType" error.
I unfolded the cube, then I opened "measure groups", my failing dimension (ServiceRequestDim) and the partition.
In the partition I opened the "Source" attribute so it now includes my column which was missing. But it didn't solve the issue.
If I get the query used during the process I'm getting this :
SELECT
DISTINCT
[ServiceRequestDim].[MessageType] AS [ServiceRequestDimMessageType0_0]
FROM
(
Select IsNull(IsDeleted, 0) as IsDeleted, [ServiceRequestDimKey], IsNull([Status_ServiceRequestStatusId], 0) as [Status_ServiceRequestStatusId],[Status],IsNull([TemplateId_ServiceRequestTemplateId], 0) as
[Code] ....
In the nested query which defines ServiceRequestDim the messagetype attribute is still missing. In my source datamart the ServiceRequestDim has the "MessageType" column.
So the question is where do I change the nested request that the dim process use to reflect the actual columns in my datamart .

I don't need to show any aggregate value. I need to show the value as it is.
I have created an SSIS package, in my VS2005 solution, that Bulk Inserts a CSV file (see example below)
"100",2006-10-03 00:00:00,"HEX012",1"101",2006-10-03 00:00:00,"DS00130",1
I have a Bulk Insert Task that uses a Flat File Connection Manager to import my CSV file into my SQL2005 database.
My source CSV file (see example above), has double quatation marks surrounding any text fileds.
I have set the Flat File Connection Manager's 'Text Qualifier' to double quatation marks.
The Bulk Insert works ok, but ignores the Text Qualifier.
My database table is left with the original quatation marks in any text field.
Any help appreciated.

I'm exporting using a query to a flat .txt file. The problem I'm encountering is when I export the data and then open the .txt file into excel some columns cause line breaks to the next row. The columns that are breaking to a new row are varchar fields where the user has entered text into the field with double quotes ".
When I export, I'm using row delimiter {CR}{LF} column delimiter Comma and text qualifier Double Quote (")
Is there a way to prevent this from happening when I export and open the flat file into Excel?

I've discovered an issue with the text qualifier field in the file connection manager when upgrading a SSIS 2005/2008 package from a 32 bit platform to 64 bit platform runninn SQL Server 2008 R2 10.5.1600.
The package will convert <none> in this field to _x003C_none_x003E and therefore any package using the file connection manager i.e. import/export - common tasks on SSIS! will cause problems either with output data or imported data.
Simply replacing _x003C_none_x003E with <none> fixes the issue but ofcourse there can be many packages affected as a result.
Any existing/impending cumulative update for SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard that will fix the problem?double quote delimiters are converted to _x0022_ which I am assume by replacing with a double quote will fix the problem.
I am working on SSIS Packages. I have raw files in which data is in text qualifier.
When I am trying to load files into database it's throwing me error when there is no values in text qualifier.
For Example. "Others","0","0"," "," "
If I have the value above in raw files. SSIS Package throwing me error in " " this column.
Saying Data Conversion failed.
