Analysis :: Format Numbers In Drill-through Action?
Jun 15, 2015I have table with 3 columns: record_id (int), car (varchar(50)), amount (decimal(18,4)).
I created dimension for drillthrough action. Also I set Amount's column FormatString to '##0.00' but when I use Drillthough column Amount values is shown like:
.0000
15.7900
18.4100
Is there any possibility to change that values would be shown as follow:
0,00

Analysis :: Dynamic Measure Value Based Upon Role / Department
Sep 28, 2015I have an issue related to SSAS security. We have an SSAS multidimensional cube which needs 3 types of security:
- Access to the entire cube => OK, based upon a role
- Restricted access to one department (= dimension) => OK, based upon a role
- Access to the entire cube, but with dynamic security on 2 measures.
Let's say, we have 2 departments (food and non-food). Users within food are allowed to see sales and pieces from the food department, but not from the non-food department.
It is not an option to restrict access to the non-food department because there are other measure which they have access to. I tried cell security, but this is very slow and generates multiple empty rows on my selections.
Analysis :: DAX - Dynamic Masking Of Information Based On Role Security
Oct 2, 2015I have a business requirement to build a tabular data model, where I need to mask information of other Agents from a given Agent but I still need to show the overall sales of the given product.
For eg: IF an Agent is in APAC region he should see APAC region sales and also should be able see the sales of the same product in other region without knowing region specific break down.
For Agent "Tom" in APAC region, the numbers will look like this
APAC_Sales = 100,000
Other_Sales = 500,000
And if "John" is in NA region, then the number will look like this for him
NA_Sales = 200,000
Other_Sales = 400,000
I wanted to create "Roles" based on the Region, so all the agents belong to "APAC" region will have same view as Tom and "NA" region agents will have John's view.
Analysis :: How To Create CommandLine Action Using ASSL
Oct 7, 2015I want to create a commandline action. It is my understanding that commandline actions can only be created using ASSL. I cannot find the details required to build the xmla. My ultimate goal is to be able to open a file from a unc path via a cube action.
Using a URL action will not work since the path does not start with http or https. Prepending 'file:' to the unc, with however many hashes you like, does not work with the URL action either. I am hoping I can pass the unc to the commandline and render the file. In any case, it looks like the information needed to create a commandline action is not currently available.

The above syntax errors out, is this type of formatting possible with MDX action expressions?
Incremental Process Based On Action Code
Apr 24, 2007
I will be receiving an incremental file that will contain I? inserts, U? updates, and D? deletes as an action code that I will load into a transform table. If I conditionally split the action code I will lose the fifo order and the data in the transform sequence could be applied out of order causing an error. If I use 3 separate data flows I can apply incremental doing the inserts first, then the updates and then the deletes. I think this would work but I would have to read the transform table three times.
I am looking for some feedback on what is the best most efficient way to handle what I am trying to accomplish?
Thanks

Passing Parameter To Subreport Based On User Action.
Sep 12, 2007I have a main report and a subreport. Subreport is not at row level but is at report level. The sub report has a parameter that needs to be passed from mainreport. However, the subreport's parameter should be set and the subreport should be refreshed when the user clicks on a row in mainreport. Can I use drill-through / navigation feature in any way to build this functionality?
Any help will be most appreciated.

Analysis :: Cannot Delete Role
Aug 24, 2015we are using a 2012 SSAS cube with many (about 100-200) roles. We use AdoMD to programmatically create, edit and drop roles. Everything works fine until we want to drop a role (this occurs only with some of the roles). I thought this was an AdoMD problem, but I actually get the same error when I delete such role in Management Studio. I attached the full exception message. I tried to remove all members before dropping the role to no avail, there must be some other dependency.

May 12, 2015I am setting up some security requirements - the requirement is that team leaders get to view all teams within their division. What I would like it to do when they log onto their dashboard/ssrs report is that it defaults to the team leaders default team (they can still select from other teams if they require).If I can avoid I don't really want another parameter in the report for this.
In my cube I have an attribute under the people dimension (where teams and division also reside) called Fee_Earner_Effective_Flag and where this is set to Y this is their current team.
Under the Role properties security under the Fee_Earner_Effective_Flag attribute I have set the Default member to
[People Primary FeeEarner].[Fee_Earner_Effective_Flag].[Fee Earner Effective Flag].&[Y]
When I then logon as the user and try to access the cube I get the following
Errors in the metadata manager. The '[People Primary Feeearner].[Fee_Earner_Effective_Flag].[Y]' security default member from the '{' attribute returns a result from a different hierarchy.
I have also tried setting the default member in the cube solution and then processing but then the cube failed.

Role Based Security Issues
Jan 16, 2007I am attempting to set up a new user that has only the ability to run reports in the report manager.
I have created a new ActiveDirectory entry for DOMAINReportUser. I have a created a new folder with the reports, and have set this user as a Browser role on this directory, and all reports in the directory.
I have made it throught the security maze to gain access to these reports as this user, but I cannot dynamically run the reports. As the BUILTINAdministrator (content manager), I get a grayed background on the parameters and can run the reports. As this DOMAINReportUser, I get what looks like HTML parameter items, and cannot run a dynamic report. Even if I change the role of this user to Content Manager, I still cannot run a dynamic report.
How do you properly set up a user to be able to dynamically run, and only run, a report in Report Manager, and have this user only see reports in a single folder?
I have been fighting the security issues of creating a RS site and properly setting up access, and have yet to find a single site or person explaining the entire process in any coherant method.

Analysis :: Role Playing Dimension Among Multiple Fact Tables
Oct 28, 2015I am modelling cube in SSAS. Cube has around 20 dimensions and 6 fact tables. Some of the dimensions are common among the fact tables. e.g. Time dimension. Fact_PNL has 3 date columns for those we have 3 role playing dimensions in the dimension usages.
Another fact table has 5 date columns for them as well we have separate role playing dimensions in dimension usage tab. We have a common dimension Company which is foreign key in all fact tables. We might need to combine the data from multiple facts to get final output.
Should i create 6 role playing dimension for each of the fact table or use the same dimension for all fact tables?
Role playing dimensions should be created when we have multiple columns pointing to the same dimension ?
SQL 2012 :: Role Based Server Security
Sep 20, 2015There is a STIG Check that does not allow grant "Connect SQL" directly to any logins except SQL System and the SA account. My way of resolving this is to do the following:
Step One:
We create a Server Role called SQL_APPLICATIONS – for the application accounts
We create a Server Role called SQL_DBA – for the DBA accounts
and give them direct “Connect SQL’ server permissions. MAKE THE ROLE OWNER = sysadmin (group)
Note: I think that creating a Server Role is only available starting with SQL Server 2012, but not sure. I am using SQL 2012
Step two:
I add the members (Logins - SQL & Windows) – in this case any application accounts and DBA accounts to the new roles respectively
Step three:
I remove the “Connect SQL” Permission from each Login
The first problem i noticed is that the maintenance plans failed with "The owner domainusername of job db_backup does not have server access.I am currently using a test system and wondered If you think I will have trouble with the application connecting when I try and implement on the production systems.
Role Based Security And Child Groups
Jun 29, 2007Hi All,
I have a report running and I am attempting to assign role based security. I added a group to the site level security. The group I added contains child groups. It doesn't seem that report server is looking into the child groups to see if the logged in user is a member of the child group. Is there anyway to get this to work instead of adding all the groups directly? I suspect that report server is using cominterop and cominterop is not traversing the directory tree?
Thanks,
Darren

Report Builder Role Based Security
Feb 7, 2006From Books Online Help:
In the role-based security model that is implemented for Reporting Services, users who are assigned to the Content Manager role can create and edit reports in Report Builder. Local administrators are automatically assigned to this role.
If you want other users to be able to work with a Report Builder report, you must create a role assignment for them that includes the default role "Report Consumer." Alternatively, you can create a custom role definition. As long as the customized role includes the "Consume reports" task, users who are assigned to that role will have sufficient permission to create and modify reports using Report Builder
---------
However, when I try to give a contact those rights, the "Report Builder" link still does not show up for my users. Is there any other place where I can examine the security rights to see why the Report Builder permission is not granted to my users?
Controlling Export Formats Based On User Role
Apr 26, 2007I'm using Reporting Services 2000 and I have a situation where I need to specify the file formats available to export. I know I can change the RSReportServer.config file to change these at a global level, but what I really need is to be able to configure these differently for different user groups. For example:
group 1 - has all available export formats available
group 2 - only has the ability to export to excel
group 3 - has no option to export to any format.
Is there a way for this to be done? If so, can anybody give me any pointers on how it can be done?
Any help given will be most appreciated!!
Analysis :: Show Grand Total When Using SSAS Tabular Role Security Permission
Oct 30, 2015If user want to see the grand total for a measure with include all members, even though the user has limited access for that member, so how we can do using DAX?For example, let’s say the total revenue for all the divisions in a cube is $15,000. You create a role called “Division A”, and set it up so members of that role can only see the revenue for Division A, which totals $3,000. If you use a front-end tool like Excel to access the cube and use the division hierarchy to see the total revenue, you will see the revenue of $3000 for Division A, but also want to see the Grand Total for the revenue as $15,000How we can achieve above scenerio in tabular model (DAX).

Analysis :: Filter A Set Based On Same Measure?
Jun 10, 2013I'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.
Analysis :: Calculation Based On Dimension Value
Oct 8, 2015Need to resolve this calculation, which I would believe is something very common on SSAS environments.
Like many companies, my company has different ways of calculating Sales and the two I want to focus are Sales Gross and Sales Net.
At a high level, we calculate Sales Gross as Sales with returns, and Sales Net as Sales without returns.
We have an attribute called Order Type that has various types of orders a user can execute with my company. One of them is Returns. If you return something back to us, we record that as a return line on the sales table. With that, we can calculate that return, breaking data down by Order Type, such as:
Order Type Line Total
Mail Orders $ 776,655.44
Internet Orders $ 2,211,334.00
Call Center Orders $ 11,223,344.00
Credit Orders $ (55,666.00)
Today, to calculate Sales Gross and Sales Net, we are creating two dimensions: DimSalesGross and DimSalesNet.
To calculate Sales Gross, we leave the data at the natural state, not making any changes to mappings.
To calculate Sales Net, we map Credit Orders to Call Center Orders at the ETL level, getting a Net value for sales (Orders - Returns), however, I doubt this is the correct way of doing.
I would like to have a Line Total Net / Line Total Gross calculation, which would be based on the Order Type value.
Perhaps using a CASE statement in MDX? Is the above possible?
Cascading Parameters Based Off Analysis Services
Jun 6, 2007Hello,
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.

Analysis :: MDX Need To Filter Measures Based On A Dimension
Oct 26, 2015I 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

Analysis :: Building A Cube Based On Stored Procedure
Jul 29, 2015I am new to SSAS. I have requirement to build a cube based on SQL Stored procedure. This Stored Procedure contains lot of temp tables, which are aggregated as measure columns.
Initially I have done creating views on each temp table, finally I created a view which calls like 15 views. when I try to execute the view, it is taking long time to execute the view.
I tried building cube on this view, when I try to deploy, even it is taking long time to deply..I have waited for 2 hours, still the deployement process going..
What I wonder is, is there any other way I can build cube based on SQL stored Procedure.
Analysis :: Annualized Amount Based On Completed Quarters
Aug 26, 2015I would like to add a calculation to provide an annualized Gross Amount value. Most solutions I have seen are for annualizing down to the day. For instance, if today is the 123rd day of the year, the calculation would be Amount / 123 * 365. What I want to do is annualize the amount based only on completed periods. Today is 8/26.
The last completed quarter ended on 6/30. Therefore I want to basically take the sum of Q1 and Q2, divide by two, and multiply by four to get an annualized amount based on completed quarters. Eventually I want to do something similar with months.
So here's what I have so far. In my DSV my DimDate is actually based on a view. The view has a Date column with the actual date, all of the normal fields you would expect in a DimDate table, and two columns that look like this:
CASE
WHEN [Date] < DATEADD(QQ, DATEDIFF(QQ, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
THEN 'Y'
ELSE 'N'
END AS
CompletedQuarter,
[Code] ....
Note that for dates between 1/1 and 3/31 the CompletedQuarterCount will be 0. I want any annualized amount to be 0 in that case because I only want to use completed quarters in my calculation.
I added both to my Pay Date dimension (which uses vwDimDate from the DSV) in the cube. I have tried the calculation below and in my Excel pivot table I'm getting blanks for the calculated field.
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Gross Amount Annualized by Pay Date Quarter]
AS SUM(
IIF([Pay Date].[Pay Date Completed Quarter Count] > 0,
[Gross Amount] / [Pay Date].[Pay Date Completed Quarter Count] * 4,
0)
),
FORMAT_STRING = "Currency",
VISIBLE = 1 , ASSOCIATED_MEASURE_GROUP = 'Fact Claim' ;
So, is my calculation correct?
Analysis :: Conditional Sum Based On Latest Survey Answer
Jul 24, 2015Basically our cube contains two different Facts:
- Sales Volume: Information about sold articles to a customer incl. Selling date
- Survey: irregular answered survey questions about customers incl. date of answer
and three Dimensions:
- Customer
- Date
- Survey Answer: Information about possible Answer values (e.g. Yes / No)
Relations:
Fact: Sales Volume ------> Dim: Customer <------ Fact: Survey ------> Dim: Survey Answer
'--------------> Dim: Date <----------------'
We would like to be able to determine the aggregated sales volume (sum) of a customer for a specific period depending on the latest survey answer within this period.
For example:
Selected Time period: Jan - Jul 2015
Sales Volume Customer X - Jan - Jul 2015: 1000 Litres
Sales Volume Customer Y - Jan - Jul 2015: 500 Litres
Surveys answered:
15th Jan 15: Customer X, Survey Question A: Yes
2nd Mar 15: Customer X, Survey Question A: No
20th Apr 15: Customer X, Survey Question A: Yes
10th Feb 15: Customer Y, Survey Question A: Yes
20th Jul 15: Customer Y, Survey Question A: No
Latest survey answer (Jan-Jul) Customer X, Question A: Yes
Latest survey answer (Jan-Jul) Customer Y, Question A: No
Excel Pivot should show something like this:
Question | Latest Answer: Yes | No |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A | 1000 Litres | 500 Litres |
How this is possible and has to be implemented?
Parameter In Report Based On Analysis Services In 2005
Nov 29, 2007I've got a RS2000 report from Analysis services 2000. This report is working fine but after the upgrade to SQL2K5, i'm having issues with changes to parameters.
Basically i'm passing DateQuarter, CustomersLevel as parameters to the following mdx script. I've tried to change mdx script in RS2005 but no luck yet. I don't much about the parameter level changes in sql2k5. So can anyone suggest what is wrong in the script.
In sql2000 the script looks like this...
="with " &
"member [Measures].[Ex Price] as 'coalesceempty([Measures].[Ex Price After Trade Discount - Detail],0.00)' " &
"Member [Measures].[CustomerUniqueName] as '[Customers By Class].currentmember.UniqueName' " &
"Member [Measures].[CustomerDisplayName] as '[Customers By Class].Currentmember.Name' " &
"SELECT " &
"{[Measures].[CustomerUniqueName],[Measures].[CustomerDisplayName]} on Columns, " &
"filter({descendants(" & Parameters!CustomerClass.value & ", [Customers by Class].[" & Parameters!CustomersLevel.value & "], SELF)}, " &
" [Measures].[Ex Price] > 0) on rows " &
"from Sales "
i've changed the script in sql2005 but not working yet..
with
member [Measures].[Ex Price] as 'coalesceempty([Measures].[Ex Price After Trade Discount - Detail],0.00)'
Member [Measures].[CustomerUniqueName] as '[Customers By Class].currentmember.UniqueName'
Member [Measures].[CustomerDisplayName] as '[Customers By Class].Currentmember.Name'
SELECT
{[Measures].[CustomerUniqueName],[Measures].[CustomerDisplayName]} on Columns,
filter({descendants( STRTOMEMBER(@CustomerClass), "[Customer Class]." + STRTOMEMBER(@CustomersLevel), SELF)},
[Measures].[Ex Price] > 0) on rows
from Sales
Thanks in advance..
