Analysis :: MDX Filter With Alias
Sep 9, 2015
I am trying to get a list of years from a Date dimension that includes a limited number of values. I want the current year and the previous 5 years. The year number in the cube is actually a char(4) value so I will have to cast that.
Also I want to alias the field, since Im using this list to use as a parameter in an SSRS report.
The MDX I have at the moment is this:<br/>
WITH
MEMBER [SALESYEAR] AS
CInt([DimCalendar].[Year].CURRENTMEMBER)
SELECT
NULL ON COLUMNS,FILTER(
[DimCalendar].[Year].MEMBERS , [SALESYEAR] > 2012) ON ROWS
FROM [MySalescube]
The above returns empty, but I also need to define an expression that is the current year - 5 years

I'm having what i think it's a strange error in CALCULATE function:
Calculation:=CALCULATE( DISTINCTCOUNT([SK_CUSTOMER]); 'fact x'[_sales net]<>0)
where _sales net is a calculated column, sum of 3 existing columns lets call columnA , columnB, columnC
This calculation doesn't work well, the results seem to be like as if _sales net was only equal to columnA.
Naturally I've already done build deploy and full process.

I need to conditionally include a filter in the below DAX query such a way that if an Account_ID is passed (as client side parameter) the filter should be included in the query otherwise if it is zero, the query should return results across all account. For example, if total purchase is queried for Account_ID=2 the query should be like this:
evaluate
calculatetable (
addcolumns (
summarize (
'Event'
[code]...
but if the Account_ID is passed as zero, condition 'Event'[Account_ID] = 2 should be removed.Is this possible to implement in DAX?

For example, I have a Date dimension with attributes like Current Day and Current Month. If I run the following, I get exactly what I expect: a list of the days in the current month.
select
NULL on 0,
[Case - Date - PSPT Entry].[Year - Quarter - Month].[Date] on 1
from [Customer Support]
where
[Case - Date - PSPT Entry].[Current Month].&[True]
When I run the following, I'm getting a list of the days in the current month *plus the first couple days of the next month*. with
set [Days of Interest]
as
filter([Case - Date - PSPT Entry].[Year - Quarter - Month].[Date], [Case - Date - PSPT Entry].[Current Month].&[True])
select
NULL on 0,
[Days of Interest] on 1
from [Customer Support]

I'm trying to create a percentile rank function based on the standard WIKI version:
I've seen Brian Knight's article here, but that only deals with percentile.
Where I'm struggling is getting the count of members in a set using a measure, in the current context on the same hierarchy, as the filter expression. I'm using the comparative set as in belonging to the same geographical location, and therefore associating by another attribute.
So, cl as below:
MEMBER [Measures].[RegionPercentileCount] AS
Count(
Filter(
NonEmpty(
descendants(Ancestor(
[Supplier].[NameMap].CurrentMember,
[Supplier].[NameMap].[Region]),
[Supplier].[NameMap].[Supplier Id]),
[Measures].[ActiveMeasure])
, [Measures].[ActiveMeasure] <
([Supplier].[NameMap].CurrentMember,
[Measures].[ActiveMeasure])))
Using the same measure and context hierarchy is always going to be equal, and therefore the count is always zero. Its almost as if I need a nested context for the FILTER which allows me to use enumerate the set on the same hierarchy whilst maintaining the external reference.
I'm thinking that perhaps I'm going to have to create another hierarchy and use that as the filter set and reference through StrToMember or similar.

I have an existing MDX query returning the correct resultset. However, I want to add a filter so that for a combination of value in Hierarchy1 and Hierarchy2, the data is filtered out.
For example I have data like
H1 H2 Amount
1 1 100
2 1 50
3 1 45
I am getting a value of 100+50+45=195.
I want to filter the data for the combination H1=3 and H2=1. Expected result would be 100...
H1 H2 Amount
1 1 100
2 1 50

I have been living in the T-SQL world for years, and am working on my first Tabular model.
I have a fact table that I would like to use for many reports. My idea is that I would use Perspectives in the tabular model to pull in the columns that I need for each purpose. In some cases, I also need to filter out some rows. Is there a way to filter perspectives? The only solution I am coming up with is to create views in SQL Server and import the fact table multiple times for each purpose. That doesn't seem very efficient.

My requirement is to count the customer order number for premium order type orders which has some order quantity.I am using below MDX
count
(
Filter
(([Customer Order].[Dim Customer Orderkey].[Dim Customer Orderkey].members,
[Outbound Order Attributes].[Order Type].&[P]),[Measures].[Ordered, pcs]>0 ) ,
)
The result is accurate but the query execution time is 3-4 minutes for 10 fact records, when i use multiple dimension. it is showing me 0 valus for this measure for all the members for the dimesion attribute which doen't have any customer order. example it shows all the member of date dimension. is there any way to reduce the rows. i think this is the reason to take more execution time.when i use EXCCLUDEEMPTY the result is NULL
count
(
Filter
(([Customer Order].[Dim Customer Orderkey].[Dim Customer Orderkey].members,
[Outbound Order Attributes].[Order Type].&[C]),[Measures].[Shipped, pcs]>0 ) ,
EXCLUDEEMPTY)

We have two measures
[Measures].[NSPO]
is in FACT1 Measure Group
[Measures].[NetSignedPremium] is in FACT2 Measure Group
The requirement is Measure.[NetPremium] should be the greater of
[Measures].[NSPO] OR [Measures].[NetSignedPremium].
All three measures are created in the cube and this logic is to be applied in the Calculations section of the cube.
Using an IIF statement like one mentioned below does the job, but data does not aggregate correctly for the
Measure.[NetPremium]
Measure.[NetPremium] = IIF ([Measures].[NetSignedPremium] > [Measures].[NSPO], [Measures].[NetSignedPremium] , [Measures].[NSPO])
To ensure that the columns are aggregated I have to use a SCOPE statement at the leaf level
[01 UWR Reference].[UWR Reference].Members
SCOPE(
FILTER( NONEMPTY( [01 UWR Reference].[UWR Reference].Members ) ,
( ( ([Measures].[Net Signed Premium Rcvd])
- ( [Measures].[NSPOTest] ) )
< 0 ) )) ;
This = [Measures].[Net Signed Premium Rcvd] ;
END SCOPE;
My problem is the FILTER within the SCOPE statement does not work. How to modify the filter in SCOPE? OR How to make IIF Aggregate correctly?

Is it possible to filter out a measure only at the intersection of Two dimension members? I have a date dimension, a Hospital dimension and a wait time measure.
For Example, is it possible to filter out Wait time for Bayside Hospital for the Month of June 2015?
I want Wait time to continue to be displayed for all other months and roll up into the totals without the filtered value.

I am unable to find solution for the problem while writing a Named Set in my cube.
I have a calculated measures which gives me difference in Sales in PERCENTAGE (%).
When I try to filter out those product codes which went a less than 5 %, I get no records.
I have also tried to filter direct values lets say - Products with sales > 100000 which is working fine.
Following is sample of my Named Set
FILTER([X].[Products Code].members, [Measures].[Diff in Sales]<5)
I believe as the values are in percentage, I am facing this issue.

I am pretty new to MDX and am having trouble getting what I need out of this MDX query. Some business rules:
Gross Amount applies to all clients, whether Type A or Type B. I always want to return Gross Amount.Some clients are Type A, some are Type B, some are both, and some are neither.There are Type A Net Amount and Type B Net Amount values for all clients, but I only want to display the Type A Net value if the client is a Type A client, only Type B if the client is a Type B, or both for both, and neither for neither. I would like to return blank/null, not $0.00, for those values that should not be displayed.
Here's the basic query.
SELECT { [Measures].[Gross Amount],
[Measures].[Type A Net Amount],
[Measures].[Type B Net Amount]
} ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY {[Dim Client].[Parent Client Code].[Parent Client Code] *
[Dim Client].[Child Client Code].[Child Client Code] *
[Dim Client].[Is Type A].CHILDREN *
[Dim Client].[Is Type B].CHILDREN
} ON ROWS
FROM ClientInfo
Here's the DESIRED output........

I have developed a cube in my work place for analyzing current year sales with previous year sales in Time Hierarchy (Year- Quarter- Month) using Parallel period. If we want to see data for particular Quarters i.e. Q1 and Q2 then total at the year level should also get change. Currently if we only choose 2 quarters in the filter then current year data gets change, however data using parallel period is not getting change accordingly and its shows Total of full year.

One of my models has order data, cost per order/invoice ID and then dimensions on Fiscal Year, category, etc...the usual.
A user wanted to search it for an exact order amount. (They knew for example that one of our accounts was not balancing by single order worth $746.13 and assumed it must be an order that was placed but never marked shipped that slipped through the cracks).
Now, in the model I have "order amount" as a field and then a measure that sums that.
I could expose that "order amount" field as a label and let them filter on it in Excel (and that works).
However, I haven't had any luck filtering on the actual measure "Total Order Amount". Such as OrderID-> View Filter -> "Total Order Amount" equals 746.13.
I assume this is due to a few things:
Measure calculates at different levels so filtering on a measure is difficult as you would have to place all the "slicers" and set them first before the measure would "exist" at a level where it could be $746.13. Orders by year would have $746.13 as part of it's year sum, but wouldn't exist as a stand alone line item orders by year 2015 might be 2 million.
Orders by category might exist at 500,000, 8,000, 15,146.36, etc... but not $746.13.
So I would need OrderID on there as a column so the measure could return at the value of $746.13 for one row for it to match the filter?
Basically:
1. Why it can't really filter on a measure?
2. Is there a better way to accomplish this other than exposing the actual column in the fact table "order amount" as it feels like that could cause all kinds of confusion if other users try to slice/filter on that not realizing exactly what it is meant to be?

The user wants to be able, using excel, to apply a filter to all measures in every measure group. I though that I can create a dimension with a single level with two members, let´s say "on" and "off" and depending on the selected member and using an IIF statement decide which formula applies to the calculated measures.
I have serious doubts about the performance and for this technique because I am thinking as a .Net developer and not as a cube developer. Maybe it is better to resolve it scoping the measures but I cannot figure it out.

I have been following the tutorial/blog post HERE to create an annualization (or "run rate") of my Gross Amount measure. What I want to do now is exclude any period that is not "complete".
For example, if today is 9/9 then Q3 is not complete - only Q1 and Q2 are complete. And if I'm looking at it monthly then January through August are complete, but September is not.
Cells B5 and D5 look exactly as I expect and want them to be. On row 6 below under each "Gross Annualized" value I have basically just put the formula for what it's actually doing.
What I would like to see in the blue cell is $67,211,697,268 - essentially the most recent annualization for a completed period. The annualization for Q3 is misleading because the quarter has not yet completed. There's $16b in Q1 and $17b in Q2, so the measly $78m in Q3 (yellow cell) is dragging the annualization down significantly. Even worse, the Gross Amount for Q4 is being treated as a $0.00, which is further dragging down the "2015 Gross Annualized" amount in blue. In a T-SQL average calculation, for example, I think the green cell would be treated as NULL rather than $0. That's kind of the behavior I want.
So I would like to do two things:
Create a calculation (probably just a 0 or 1 flag) that indicates whether the current period is complete or not. Again, using 9/9/2015 as an example, Q2 would be complete but Q3 would not be. And August would be complete, but September would not. Make the blue cell show $67,211,697,268 - an annualization based on completed quarters only.
For whatever it's worth here is the current calculation for Gross Annualized.
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Gross YTD]
AS AGGREGATE(
YTD([Pay Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember)
,[Measures].[Gross Amount]),
FORMAT_STRING = "Currency",
VISIBLE = 0;

We will be moving 2 different databases (SS2005 & SS2008) to a new SS2014 SQL Server. Currently our codes looks something like Server1DBInstance1... & Server2DBInstance2... Is it possible to move the objects from these 2 instances to Server3DBInstance3 and then use an alias to reference the objects? Or does Server3 need to have DBInstance1 & DBIstance2? Basically, is the alias just for the database or for the instance too? Can I create an alias "Server1DBInstance1' on Server3DBInstance3 and assign objects to that alias?

I want to filter a measure based on another measure (both are measures on the same FACT table).Distinct Number of Users HAVING.User Cost above 0.
I tried doing having but because it’s two measures and not a tuple with a dimension it writes an eror.My query is something like:
SELECT
[Measures].[Distinct Number of Users ]
having [Measures].[User Cost] >0
ON
COLUMNS,

Please note, that I want it in a MDX query not needing to change the cube or DWH table.

Hello,
Here is my problem:
I use SQL Server 2005. I have approx. 50 tables in my database and 30 of them have a filed named "CompanyID". Example:
create table A (ID int identity, NAME varchar(100), COMPANYID int)create table A (ID int identity, REF_ID int, FIELD1 varchar(100), FIELD2 varchar(100), COMPANYID int)
Also there are nearly 200 stored procedures that read data from these tables. Example:
create procedure ABCasbegin /* some checks and expressions here ... */ select ... from A inner join B on (A.ID = B.REF_ID) where ... /* ... */end;
All my queries in the Stored procedure does not filter the tables by CompanyID, so they process the entire data.
However, now we have a requirement to separate the data for each company. That means that we have to put a filter by CompanyID to each of those 20 tables in each query where the tables appear.
Firstly, I put the CompanyID in the context so now its value is accessible through the context_info() function. Thus I do not need now to pass it as a parameter to the stored procedures.
However, I don't know what is the easiest and fastest way to filter the tables. Example:
I modified the above mentioned procedure in the following way:
create procedure ABCasbegin /* some checks and expressions here ... */
-- gets the CompanyID from the context: DECLARE @CompanyID int; SELECT @CompanyID = CONVERT(float, CONVERT(varchar(128), context_info()))
select ... from A inner join B on (A.ID = B.REF_ID) where ...
and A.COMPANYID = @CompanyID and B.COMPANYID = @CompanyID /* ... */end;
Now I have the desired filter by CompanyID. However, modifying over 200 stored procedures is rather tedious work and I don't think that this is the best approach. Is there any functionality in SQL Server that can provide the possibility to put an automatic filter to the tables.
For example: when I wrote "SELECT * FROM A", the actual statements to be executed would be "SELECT * FROM A WHERE CompanyID = CONVERT(float, CONVERT(varchar(128), context_info()))".
I was looking for something like "INSTEAD OF SELECT" triggers but I didn't manage to find any answer.
I would very grateful is someone suggests a solution for something like "global table filter" (that will help me make an easy refactoring)?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Beroetz

Howdy,
I have a table that has a group. In this group, I want to filter by 2 different expressions, concatenated with an OR. BUT I can't change the "And/Or" column value for the first entry because it is grayed out. The column will automatically change to an OR value if both my expression column fields are the same (which I dont want) but if I put any other value in to the expression field of the second row, the "And/Or" field of the first row automatically changes to an AND.
PLEASE! How do I get the And/Or field "ungrayed" so I can change it to what I want?
The 2 filters I and using check the UserID = to the user, and the other is checking a count to get the Top N 1. (So just showing the current user and the top producer)

I have, a SSAS 2012 tabular instance with SP2, there is a database on the instance with a read role with everyone assigned permissions. When configuring the Power BI analysis services connector, at the point where you enter Friendly Name, Description and Friendly error message, when you click next I receive the error "The remote server returned an error (403)." I've tested connecting to the database from Excel on a desktop and connect fine.I don't use a "onmicrosoft" account so don't have that problem to deal with.
We use Power BI Pro with our Office 365. As far as I can tell that part is working ok as I pass that stage of the configuration with a message saying connected to Power BI.The connector is installed on the same server as tabular services, its a Win2012 Standard server. The tabular instance is running a domain account that is the admin account for the instance (this is a dev environment) that account is what I've used in the connector configuration. It's also a local admin account. There is no gateway installed on the server.

I have a cube that we are processing nightly via an Analysis Service Processing Task in SSIS. In order to increase the performance of the processing time, we elected to use a lot of rigid dimension attributes, and do a full process of everything in the SSIS task. The issue that I am having is that after that task completes, I need to go into Visual Studio to deploy the cube becuase we are unable to browse or use the cube. This issue seemed to start once we changed the SSIS Analysis Service Processing Task to do a full process on the dimensions, rather than an incremental.
I would expect that once development is done, and it is processed and deployed, that is it. My thinking is that the SSIS task should just update the already deployed cube,

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.

We have an alias for dbo in various code areas, development/test/production. It was easy to tell the DBO alias
on release 6.5 but now on 7.0, the only way I can figure out if the userid is aliased to dbo is to sign on as the userid
and query 'select user_name( )' and if it returns dbo, I have the answer. Is there an easier way to do this by looking in a
system catalog or is there something else I am missing? Thanks in advance. Karen Suenram

In 6.5 you could alias someone as dbo, thus preventing an ownership chain break. In 7.0 there are roles, one of which is db_owner. I gave a user db_owner role, and they created a table. But no one else can see it? And he is listed as the owner in EM. How do I more effectivly mimic the dbo alias available in 6.5?
