Nov 4, 2015I tried using the page below but wasn't able to quite properly adapt it to my scenario
[URL]
I have two UNRELATED (can't be related for reasons outside the scope of this, other relationships already exist) tables.
Each table does, however, contain a WorkerID:
WorkerTimesheets:
WorkerID, HoursLogged, Date
3,10,2015-05-05
3,6,2015-05-10
4,8,2015-05-01
Then the unrelated table "ConstructionSites"
SiteID, SiteManagerID, SiteOpen,SiteClosed
A5, 3,2015-01-01,BLANK
What I want to do is be able to show a measure that SUMS the number of hours logged by anyone who is a SiteManager from the ConstructionSites table.
I wanted to do a SUMX of WorkerTimesheets against HoursLogged, but FILTER against WorkerTimesheets[WorkerID] = ConstructionSites[SiteManagerID] so only workers who are also SiteManager would be counted.However, I can't seem to get that to resolve it always throws an error along the lines that it can't determine context.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAnalysis :: 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?
Analysis :: Deploying Tabular Model Drops Records
Oct 22, 2015I'm using SQL Server 2012 Bi edition.
I created a model in Visual Studio 2012 and when I process the model, most tables (the ones that should) process 77,546 records and that is reflected in VS.
However, when I deploy the model to the server it is only deploying 76,500 records for those tables.
Where those 1,046 records went to? Is there a setting that limits the records to be deployed? My base tables in the Data Mart have 77,546 records, just as in my Visual Studio model.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSQL 2012 :: Composite Key Partitioning In Tabular Model
Jun 17, 2014I have a question about partitions in both SQL Server table and Tabular Model. I started to use Tabular Model recently.
I need to partition a table that collects daily rows for different clients.
The natural partition key is a combination of clientID+dateID (something like CL-YYYYMMDD)
I created a configuration table with a primary key PartitionID IDENTITY(1,1) , that contains also the field clientID and dateID
Every day I add a new row in it and I get a partitionID for the new client and date
Then I created a partitioned fact table using PartitionID as the partition field, using the partition function and the partition schema as well.
The daily client data is inserted in the partitioned table using the partitionID
Everything works fine, and the data are loaded correctly into the partitioned fact table.
Then I created a Tabular Model where the fact table is the partitioned table, and I created tabular model partitions using something like "select <field list> from PartitionedTable where partitionID = <partitionID>"
In this way, every day I load partitioned data in both sql server and tabular model. I have two dimensions, client and calendar
Now my question is: when I browse the Tabular Model, and I'm selecting a specific dimension date and dimension client, am I using the partitionID index correctly?
Or should I put in the tabular model partition query something like "select <field list> from PartitionedTable where clientID = <clientID> and dateID = <dateID>"? In this case is still working the partitionID index? How can I check it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAnalysis Services - Dimensions && Measures
Aug 13, 2004I have a problem where I have 3 three measures in a virtual cube:
"Actual", "Budget" and "Full Year Budget".
The dimensions I have are:
- Account No_ / Name
- Cost Code
- Sub Cost Code
- Time/Dates
- Budget Name
Both "Actual" & "Budget" measures need to be filtered/dimensioned by:
- Account No_ / Name
- Cost Code
- Sub Cost Code
- Time/Dates (exclusive to "Actual", "Budget")
Thus have put these in one cube
AND "Full Year Budget" needs to be filtered/dimensioned by:
- Account No_ / Name
- Cost Code
- Sub Cost Code
- Budget Name (exclusive to "Full Year Budget")
THUS have put this as one cube…
I then created a virtual cube, with the 2 cubes thinking that the dimensions I created in the original cubes would only filter the measures of the original cube measures in the virtual cube. ...BUT all dimension filters in the virtual cube filter all measures in the virtual cube, irrespective of which dimensions were created with the original cubes.
please help!
Analysis :: Joining Multiple Dimensions In MDX
Jun 13, 2015I'm new to MDX, and most of the time I customize existing queries rather than writing new ones. I currently have a MDX query like this
SELECTÂ
[Measures].[Fees Billed]
         on 0,
except([Age].[Day Buckets].members, {[Age].[Day Buckets].[All], [Age].[Day Buckets].&[Unknown]})
 on 1
FROMÂ
   MyCube
WHERE ([Fiscal Period].[Fiscal Year].&[2015], [Customer].[City].&[Auckland] )
Which brings the fees billed by age buckets where the customer's city is Auckland. I also have another dimension called [Sales Agent] with a member [City] in it, and there is a member in [Customer] called [Customer].[Sales Agent]
I am trying to retrieve the same information where the customer's sales agent's city is Auckland rather than the customer's city.
If it is SQL, I will join Customer and SalesAgent on Customer.SalesAgentUno = SalesAgent.SalesAgentUno and bring in the desired data. Any way in MDX to do this?

Analysis :: How To Show Measures Dynamically For Different Dimensions
May 4, 2015Actually I want to do distinct sum on a measure group, please find the below table as sample
XL Measure group
LKÂ Â Â Â OKÂ Â Â Â Â Amount
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 10Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 11Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 30Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 31Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 32Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
For the above measure group two dimensions have relationships, One is L dimension which is having relationship with XL on LK and One is O dimension which is having relationship with XL on OK. If I drag L dimension attributes  it should show results as below
LK LName Amount
1Â Â Â Â AÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
3Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
But above results are coming as below
LK LName Amount
1Â Â Â Â AÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 200
3Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 750
If I drag O dimension attributes along with L dimension, it should show results as below.
LK  LName  OK     OKName  Amount
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â AÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 10Â Â Â Â Â Â XYZÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â AÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 11Â Â Â Â Â Â UVWÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 30Â Â Â Â Â Â PQRÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 31Â Â Â Â Â KLMÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 32Â Â Â Â Â TUVÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
I used formula Measures.Amount/Measures.Count, this formula is not showing correct results when I don't drag any dimensions, it is showing results for All member as 425, but it should show as 350.
So I made a same change ([L].[LK].Currentmember, Measures.Amount)/([L].[LK].Currentmember,Measures.Count), this worked fine but performance is very low and so stopped working on this.
Atlast I did the measure group like this
LK    OK     LAmount  OAmount
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 10Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 11Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 30Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 300Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 300
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 31Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 300
I want to show Measures.LAmount when only L dimension is querying and want to show OAmount when both L dimension and O dimension are querying. Is this possible ?

Analysis :: Parallel Period Sliced By Other Dimensions
Aug 4, 2015I have make a calculated member for previous period of an given date range. The previous period is the same date range from the previous year, and I have managed to achieve that with the calculated member:
Create member currentcube.[Measures].[PrevPeriod] as
(ParallelPeriod( [Start Date].[Cal Hierarchy].[Year], 1, [Start Date].[CAL Hierarchy].CurrentMember), [Measures].[Count]);
This member returns the correct result as long as my query uses the time dimension, which makes sense... but I also need to show results sliced by other dimensions in bar charts that do not display the time dimension. For example, I have a dimension with only 3 members called [Region].[Area].[AreaName].
The result set for the bar chart needs to look like this:
[AreaName]Â | [Count]Â |Â [PrevPeriod]
East           |   43     |      56
West          |   53     |      95
But the [PrevPeriod] only returns values if I include the time dimension. I essentially need to sum the results of the time dimension/AreaName/[PrevPeriod] tuple down to just Areaname/[PrevPeriod] for whatever date range may be involved.
I don't know if this is significant to the issue, but the client tool that generates the bar charts builds the query with the date range as a subcube in the FROM statement. If the [PrevPeriod] is outside of the subcube that is still OK, as long as the time dimension is included in an Axis on the final select statement, so at least I know I am not suffering from the members inside the subcube. I've also found in SSMS that it makes no difference if I make the query a subcube, or put the date range in a where clause instead; I still get NULL for [PrevPeriod] without the dates.
I can't imagine that this is an unusual situation, so I hope I've explained it adequately! What is the recommended technique for summarizing a Parallelperiod by dimensions without displaying the time/dates ?
Analysis :: Cube Performance Versus Many-to-Many Dimensions
Sep 22, 2015I have a cube with 2 many-to-many dimensions where a special mdx query needs about 5 seconds. When I resolve the many to many relationships by multiplying the data in the fact table the query needs 21 seconds.

Without the many-to-many dimensions of course the fact table has much more rows. Could this be the reason for the performance loss?

Jun 16, 2015how to combine measures and fields coming from an analytical model (tabular) along with some Excel calculations. Basically I want to provide users with a simple report (to be displayed in SharePoint Excel services) containing charts and slicers. The data comes from a tabular model, and most of the calculations are in the model as well.However there is some little tweaking that must be done. For example I might need additional calculated columns, but I don't feel the need to modify the tabular model for that. I was wondering if I could do this within Excel as well -- but without having to bring all the data through a pivot table, then manipulate it and then show it on the report. So to be clear I do not want any pivot tables lying around, even if on a hidden sheet.
I noticed that when selecting a pivot chart in Excel, at the ribbon menu under "PIVOTCHART TOOLS"/"ANALYSE" there is a group of buttons named "Calculations". One of them is named OLAP Tools.Is it fair to assume that these options will allow me to create new measures at the Excel side, without affecting my tabular model?

Is it possible to have 2 time Dimensions for example which did the following:

Thus I would be able to select a range of dates/months.
Do you know if this is possible to write this inot the dimension?
