Not sure where the culprit is for this error propping up. I've added a new measure group and Im trying to generate the schema for the resulting fact table, but something isn't right. However, I don't think its my new measure group that's causing the issue, because I removed it and still get this issue when I select Database > Generate Relational Schema

For Example,
1) State has number of colleges, Number of colleges has Number of dept. , Number of dept. has no. of subjects, no. of subject has number of chapters and the hierarchy goes on.
Expected Output is,
College 1

I tried in so many ways, I do not know how to query in single table.
I want to build Parent child relation . i have two aproaches .I would like to know which is the best solution ?
1)1st method:-
Parent table with parent id . Child table with child id and parent id.Foreign key relationship exists between parent and child tables with cascade delete option enabled.
Parent TAble
Id name
1 XYZ
Child table
id name parent id
1 abc 1
2 qwe 1
2)2nd method
table with id and parent ID. Top level element will have null value in table. eg
id name parent id
1 xyz
2 abc 1
3 qwe 2
4 adf 1

Which is the best solution to store parent child relationship???
I have got a question on max degree of parallelism and CPU cores.
If max degree of parallelism = 1, this signifies that sql will use serial execution plan (unless u change it in query level with MAXDOP hint). In serial plan, will the query use all CPU cores (say in my server I have 16 core processors)?
If in serial execution plan only one thread works, then what the other threads doing ? Idle (I may have a defined max server worker thread = 32767(by default)

Hi everybody,
I would like to know how to create a hierarchy in a SSAS project using a SSRS datasource?
All values are displayed when I drag the field "parent" in the MDX generator...
Thanks in advance for any idea...
I'm getting this warning each time I auto-generate my model. I'm using named queries with logical primary keys.
The relation property of the role "xxx" refers to the target end of relation "xxx" which is not bound to a set of uniquely contrained columns.
I've searched and can't figured out what I am being warned about and whether I need to fix something. Can you help?
Thanks,
Toni
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.

Is it possible to have more than one cube under one SSAS database? For example I have a database "Test" and in this the cube exist is "TestCube", is iit possible to deploy another cube "TestCube2" under the Test databse?
If yes then what is the process to do that, the reason I am asing is there are some common dimensions used n both the cubes and I am not sure what is the best way so that I can use the shared dimension?
I'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.
how to achieve the below mentioned in SSAS: P
1 - Set Default values 20 and 80
2 -Set Default value <> 90 or except 90.

((n-1) * p /100) -1
n= count of number of array records
p= percentile
I am using below MDX query:
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[PV] AS 25
Member [Measures].[CntCT] as Count(NonEmpty([Tb City].[City Name].&[DC], [Measures].[CPT1]))
Member [Measures].[PVInt25] as Int(((([Measures].[CntCT] - 1)* [Measures].[PV])/100) - 1)
Member [Measures].[PVC] as ([Measures].[CPT1],Order(NonEmpty([Tb City].[City Name].&[DC],[Measures].[CPT1]),

Select [Measures].[PVC] on columns, {[Tb City].[City Name]} on rows from test;
The line 2:
Member [Measures].[CntCT]
In that i need to find the n count of rows where city is DC (City is my Dimension) in Measures CPT1
But currently it is giving the result 1 instead in actual in my test cube there is the city DC exists with 23 CPT1 rows count.
I tried the below query:
SELECT NON EMPTY {[Tb City 1].[City Name].[City Name].&[DC] }
ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ( [Measures].[Tb Main Count] ) }
ON ROWS FROM [test]
Above query gives me the correct count i.e. 23 but i need to get the result of above query in line 2 of MDX query:
Member [Measures].[CntCT]
I have a requirement where I need to show the maximum value in grand totals but for the dimension members the same measure has to sum.
For ex: lets say I have a measure called Test and this is a base measure. The aggregation type set to this is SUM.
For this same measure the grand totals should not show the sum instead it should show the maximum value of the dimension members which is being analyzed across.
