Is it possible to use parameters in MDX Studio? I've tried using SSRS2008 for query design but... SSRS2008 query designer complains that parameters do not exist when they quite obviously do ( in the report) LaCie drives. Failing when you need them most."La" meaning "Terrible", "Cie" meaning "customer service"

View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to filter my select statement with 2 parameters, each of which defaults to the "All" member. Some of the members may have spaces in the name.
So I need to handle something like these:
FROM MySalesCube
WHERE ( ... expression here ...)
The expression above needs to resolve to a set using both parameters
STRTOSET("[Dept].[Dept][" + @pDept + "] , [Salesperson].[SalesPerson].[" + @pSalesPerson + "]")
Running the query in SSMS, Im using something like this to test
WHERE ( [SalesPerson].[SalesPerson].&[17] , [Department].[Department].[All] )
I just need to use the above in an expression with parameters, where BOTH SalesPerson and Department could use a specific member OR use the All member.
[update]
Here is what I have now:
WHERE ( STRTOSET(CSTR("([SalesPerson].[SalesPerson].[" + @pSalesPerson +"] , [Department].[Department].[" + @pDept + "])") ) )
If I hard-code @pDept to something in a string, it works ok, otherwise, I simply get an error
Hello,
I was trying to do cascading parameters based off my cube and I wasn't able to do this. Is it possible?
For example, I have a dimension that has Products so I first select the parameter for product type (Dairy, Frozen, Candy) and then I have another dropdown listbox that has the name of each product (Milk, Ice Cream, Lemon Drops). The second dropdown listbox should only contain the products that match what parameter was selected in the first dropdown.
When I couldn't get that to work, I went to the source system containing the Dimension tables and just did nice and easy SQL statements from there. It worked but I, for some reason that I can't explain, think this is not the proper way to do it.
Also, is there a way to have a default on the second parameter based on the first parameter selected? I would assume that default would be [All].
Thank you.

I had an obsolete dimension on my cube.
I delete the dimension, it disappears from the GUI (I can see all the other dimensions in the dimensions panel, but this one correctly disappears), yet when I try to build my project I get errors on this dimension. It's like the dimension was deleted from the GUI but still exists somewhere and is causing problems.
How do I resolve this without rebuilding my cube entirely? How do I delete this dimension completely?
I have implemented SQL Server 2005 Developer Version at Windows XP Home. I'm working on localhost.
I want to do an assoziation analysis and creating data source and data source view is successful. But when the data mining wizard comes to the point where to choose the data mining algorithm, the visual studio crashes- the application is not responding. No error code is given, so I don't know where to start.
Analysis Server is running and the connection to the data source is made.
Hope someone can give me a hint.
How @StartDate and @EndDate parameters must added to the MDX query for usage in SSRS data set. strtomember can be used like
SELECT (
strtomember(@StartDate) : strtomember(@EndDate)
) ON COLUMNS FROM [Cube]
How can i specify that sub-select must work on the [Fact A] and [Fact B] rundate? strtomember(@StartDate) does not specify on which attribute this sub select is going to work. Any pointers ?
FROM
(
SELECT
(
[Fact B].[Rundate].&[2015-01-02T00:00:00] : [Fact B].[Rundate].&[2015-01-15T00:00:00]
) ON COLUMNS FROM
(
SELECT
( [Fact A].[Rundate].&[2015-01-02T00:00:00] : [Fact B].[Rundate].&[2015-01-15T00:00:00] ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Cube]
)

We have been a Crystal shop for ages; we are currently doing a proof-of-concept for a conversion to MS Reporting Services. As such, we are developing some Analysis Services 2005 cubes to drive some new SSRS reports, which our users will access through Report Manager. Unfortunately, we are all MDX noobs here, so we are making heavy use of the Wizards until we can come up to speed.
The problem we are running into is when we develop a report with Date Parameters. When we deploy this report, the date parameter box is a dropdown box instead of a date picker. I've seen a couple of other posts on this topic, but when I try to apply the fixes mentioned in them, I throw errors.
I have two quick questions:
Why does this happen? Is it a limitation in the MDX language, in SSAS, or SSRS? Are there any planned fixes?
Can someone please show me how to fix this on my actual query string for one of our basic reports? I've highlighted the date parameters.
Code Snippet
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Lead] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Store].[Store ID].[Store ID].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@LeadSourceTypeLeadSourceType, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@StoreStoreID, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOMEMBER(@FromLeadCreationDateCalendarDate, CONSTRAINED) : STRTOMEMBER(@ToLeadCreationDateCalendarDate, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Referral Leads]))) WHERE ( IIF( STRTOSET(@LeadSourceTypeLeadSourceType, CONSTRAINED).Count = 1, STRTOSET(@LeadSourceTypeLeadSourceType, CONSTRAINED), [Lead Source Type].[Lead Source Type].currentmember ) ) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
I'm afraid, given my user community, that if I can't get the date picker to work properly, it could be a deal breaker.
Thanks very much in advance for your help.

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to make a MDX query on a cube with parameters in Management Studio and if yes, how to define the parameters?
In fact, I have a quite big query which of course does not work and in Reporting Services, I get an error message which is not very clear :
Cannot set the command text for data set "Cube"
Error during processing of the CommandText expression of dataset "Cube"
So I would like to test my query in SSMS and correct directly.
Edit :
Forget the query but my question concerning the parameters definition in SSMS is still asked.
Thanks
I'm looking for ways to enable business users to change algorithm parameters in a "high-level way" with the UI presenting some domain-specific blurb and sliders.

Is documentation available?
Also, is the Business Intelligence Development Studio changing with SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008?

END
ELSE

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,
How to right choose key column in"Mining Structure" for Microsoft Analysis Services?
I have table:
"Incoming goods"

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 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.
I would like to know the best practice for running analysis service in terms of port usage. Is it better to run on a specific port or have dynamic ports ? We have clustered servers that run default on 2383 but not sure with non clustered what's the best way to get performance.
