Analysis :: How To Get Dimension Key Attribute In MDX
Apr 30, 2015Many dimensions don't have unique members. Instead, the dimension source data has duplicates at the leaf level: it's left up to SSAS to aggregate up to the actual leaf level used in hierarchies.
Every cube I've worked on in the past, a dimension is clearly defined in the source data, with uniqueness already present there: we don't make a dimension out of duplicated, sort of facty data. This kind of design seems as weird to me as an unnormalised SQL database.
Here's an example to illustrate what I mean; I'll use that Adventureworks database.
We have a Geography dimension with a Geography hierarchy. Levels go like this from top to bottom:
Country
State-Province
City
Postcode
The Geography dimension has a key attribute called Geography Key. It's there in the cube design as a dimension attribute, but it's not in any of the hierarchies, so I can't query it in MDX. But that's fine: it has the same cardinality as the lowest level (Postal Code), because the dimension has some kind of normal design.
In the cube I'm dealing with, it's all messed up. Using the AdventureWorks example above as a parallel, someone made a Geography dimension with source data keyed on [PostalCode, ExactAddress], but only wanted the dimension granularity to be PostalCode.
This makes it very hard to debug why the data in this dimension is incorrect. I can't match up the dimension members in the cube to the source data, because the dimension doesn't actually go down to the real leaf level!
So I have a dimension attribute called ExactAddressKey, but I can't query on it in MDX, because it's not part of any dimension hierarchy. Unfortunately changing any part of this cube design is not possible, so I can't even experiment with settings and see what happens.
How I could get to the leaf level of the data imported? Something like
Geography.Geography.TheInvisibleLeafLevel.Members.Properties('Key')
Or does this kind of dimension design result in SSAS discarding all the data that's more granular than the most granular attribute defined in any hierarchy - so that the data actually isn't there to be queried?
Analysis :: MDX - Find The Parent Attribute
Aug 13, 2015I have date hierarchy with year - qtr- month - date. from the below query, if i have a date or month or year on rows, i want to derive the top member in the hierarchy that is year. I f i have date on rows,
[Date].[Calendar Hierarchy].[Date].&[20150106],I should get [Date].[Calendar Hierarchy].[year].&[2015].
How to find the parent?
with member [dt7] as Drillupmember([Date].[Calendar Hierarchy].currentmember,
[Date].[Calendar Hierarchy].[Calendar Year])
select {[dt7]} on 0,
([Date].[Calendar Hierarchy].[Month].&[201501]) on 1
from Cube
Analysis :: Using Attribute As Second Parameter For FILTER?
Aug 13, 2015For 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]
Analysis :: DAX - Use Of Alternate Attribute Hierarchy
Jul 31, 2015I have a Tabular model with a situation where I want to have three alternate attributehierachies in one dimension.

Id Name Fruit Vegetable
1 Apple Apple
2 Onion Onion
3 Banana Banana
4 etc
Now I would like to put Vegetable on rows in a report without getting a blank row (with the sales of all Fruits)..I would like to supress all those Fruit records without adding a separate filter to the report, just let the user pick this Attribute should do the move.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAnalysis :: Calculated Attribute In SSAS?
Sep 17, 2015I've been working with SSAS for a good few years now but I keep bumping into this problem - my users are trying to build a measure that is based on a calculated attribute and finding it difficult to work out how to write the MDX to do so. Intuitively, they thought a Calculated Member would work, but I don't think a Calculated Member is quite the same thing from my understanding.
So, here's the scenario.
We have a Product Dimension. We have a Measure that is the Number of days the Product took to make, e.g. 5 days. We also have a Product Count measure that counts the number of Products.
The user would like to write a calculated measure that works out the number of products that took <5 days, 5-10 days, 10-15 days etc.It would be easy to write a set of calculated measures for each of these bandings, but the user wants effectively a single dynamic attribute to use in the calculation in order to automatically distribute these values across the columns in their pivot table.
Is this even possible? I was thinking I could build an attribute on the Product Dimension in the ETL to do this quite easily, but the user wants to be able to change the bandings on the fly by changing the MDX for the attribute, rather than go back to the developer every time.
Analysis :: Duplicate Attribute Key Has Been Found When Processing

Analysis :: Using Named Set To Filter On Dimension Attribute
Jun 4, 2015I 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.
Analysis :: SSAS Displaying Latest Dimension Attribute
Jun 30, 2015I have a cube with a fact table and 3 dimensions. One of the dimensions is a type 2 and surrogate key is stored in fact table. If i query the database, the dimension attributes display correctly, however the cube is always displaying the latest dimension attribute and not preserving the history.
The measures are correct for the time period displayed, but the dimension attributes always show the latest values.
Analysis :: Best Way To Add Additional Parent Child Attribute Values
Apr 16, 2015I have a parent Child attribute in my dimension. I am currently displaying the correct ID value as the business wants. So now they can see the rollup of the ID(intOrgNodeID ) values.They would also like to see the same rollup of the Name (vcharOrgNodeName) for this ID.However they do not want it concatenated. They want to be able to see them separate.You cannot create two parent child attibutes in one dimension so not sure if there is some simple trick to make this work? It seems like there should be some simple trick for this.
My dimension table looks something like this
intdimOrgNodeID int Key (surreget key)
intOrgNodeID int (Actual ID)
intDimParentOrgNodeID
vcharOrgNodeName
In the Propertys I have set this below.
KeyColumns = tbldimOrgNode.intDimParentOrgNodeID
NameColumn = tbldimOrgNode.intOrgNodeID
Analysis :: SSAS Named Set With A Two Dimension Attribute Tuple
Jul 15, 2015In my SSAS Cube I have created a dynamic named set "top 10 e-learnings by language" which consists out of a set of tuples. Each tuple has two attributes out of the same base dimension "training": attribute 1 is "sprache" (language) and attribute 2 is "training text".
CREATE DYNAMIC SET CURRENTCUBE.[Top 10 eTrainings pro Sprache]
AS Generate(
{ [Training].[Sprache].[Sprache].Members },
TopCount(
EXISTING { [Training].[Sprache].CurrentMember * [Training].[Training Text].[Training Text].Members },
10,
[Measures].[Teilnahmen eTraining]
)
), DISPLAY_FOLDER = 'Training' ;
Normally a named set would be automatically visible in Excel Pivot under the dimension you used to create the named set, but it seems that named sets with tuples which have more than one attribute are placed in a separate folder "Sets" in between the measures and dimensions.Additionally in the SSAS cube browser this named set is not visible at all.Is there any way to tell the named set in which dimension it should appear or any workaround?

Analysis :: Attribute Relationships Impacts On Members Full Unique Name
Aug 17, 2015Our SSAS integration didn't initially use attribute relationships.Now that our system has been running for a few years and we have bigger databases, we think we need to add them to improve performance. So we're in the process of adding them but we found out that, when attribute relationships are added, the full unique name of our members all go from something like:
[DIM].[HIERARCHY].[LEVEL].&[GRANDPARENT].&[PARENT].&[MEMBER]
to something like:
[DIM].[HIERARCHY].[LEVEL].&[MEMBER]
It looks nice and SSAS will accept the longer names fine but it will return the short ones in response to 'discovery' requests and in the XMLA response of MDX queries. This is causing problems in our low level XMLA-based modules that assume the long names in and out. is there any clean way to use attribute relationships and still have SSAS generate the long member names. We fiddled with the various documented dim/attribute properties but to no avail. It also appears that some switches are obsolete.

Analysis :: Errors In OLAP Storage Engine - The Attribute Key Cannot Be Found When Processing
Jun 12, 2015I 've read that there is a workaround for this issue by customizing errors at processing time but I am not glad to have to ignore errors, also the cube process is scheduled so ignore errors is not a choice at least a good one.
This is part of my cube where the error is thrown.
DimTime
PK (int)MyMonth (int, Example = 201501, 201502, 201503, etc.) Another Columns
FactBudget
PK (int)Month (int, Example = 201501, 201502, 201503, etc.)
I set the relation between DimTime and FactBudget doing DimTime MyMonth as Primary Key and FactBudget Month as Foreign Key.
The cube built without problem, when processing the errror: The attribute key cannot be found when processingwas thrown.
It was thrown due to FactBudget has some Month values (201510, 201511, 201512 in example) which DimTime don't, so the integrity is broken.
My actual question: is there a way or pattern to redesign this DWH to correctly deploy and process?
Analysis :: Data Masking For Dimension Attribute Based On User In SSAS 2014 Multidimensional?
Jun 15, 2015I am trying to implement data masking based on user login and not sure why this is not working. I have the dimensions DimBrand, DimProduct and DimUser. I should mask the BrandCode with 'XXXX' nothing but in the report all the BrandCode should appear but few of the code will be masked if the user is not belongs to that group. I have a fact table FactProduct in this. In the cube I created all these 3 dimensions and the fact table. I created a new dimension DimBrandMask and I separated the code over there with a relationship with the actual DimBrand dimension. In the cube a reference relationship is set up with the measure group. Created a role with read access.
In the dimension data tab of role I put the below MDX to allowed set.
NonEmpty([DimBrandMask].[Brand Code].Members, (StrToMember("[DimUser].[Login Name].[Login Name].[" + UserName() + "]") ,[Measures].[Dim User Count]))
And in Denied Member set i put the below MDX
IIF( (StrToMember("[DimUser].[Login Name].[Login Name].[" + UserName() + "]"), [DimUser].[Access Right].&[False]), NONEMPTY( [DimBrandMask].[Brand Code].Members,(StrToMember("[DimUser].[Login Name].[Login Name].["
+ UserName() + "]"), [DimUser].[Access Right].&[False], [Measures].[Dim User Count])),{})
Note I created one measure group from the DimUser table and the measure [Dim User Count] is used in the above query.
I am expecting some result like below
Brand BrandCode Count
Brand1 b1 6
Brand2 XXXXX 5
Brand3 XXXXX 10

Measure Group Attribute Key Column Does Not Match Source Attribute
May 16, 2008
HI,
I had to change the key columns of a dimension attribute to fix an error. I did this in BIDS. The change was from a single key column to a composite key column. Now I am getting these error when I process the cube:
Measure group attribute key column x does not match source attribute ..
I looked at the cube XMLA definition under mesaure groups and it still shows a single key column with inherited binding. However, the BIDS does not give me an option correct this in any way. I have had to do this once before and the only option seems to be removing the dimension from the cube and add it back in. But that is very error prone since I lose any specific settings at the cube dimension level not to mention aggregations no longer include the dimension, etc.
Not seeing an alternative, I went through each measure group (I have 7) and changed the key columns manually in the XMLA and saved the cube. This worked, but I don't understand why BIDS automatically doesn't do it.
Is this a flaw in the BIDS or I should be missing something.
thanks

Analysis :: Power BI Analysis Services Connector - Remote Server Returned Error
Mar 5, 2015I 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.
Analysis :: Cube Needs To Be Deployed From VS After SSIS Analysis Services Processing Task Completes?
May 13, 2014I 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,

Nov 24, 2015I 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.
