I 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.
hi all, I was wondering if it is possible in SSAS 2005 that a calculated member is based off of an (integer) dimension attribute and another (integer) measure (let's say a multiplication operation) ?
If there a trick on doing so? other than stuffing the (integer) dimension attribute back in the fact table, as an measure?
I have a Calculated Member in SSAS that I need to adjust based what the current member is.
The code is below
CASE WHEN [Measures].[End LIS] = 0 AND "HELP" THEN CASE WHEN [Measures].[Beginning LIS] = 0 OR [Measures].[Beginning LIS] + [Measures].[Beginning LIS] + [Measures].[NETACTIVATIONS] = 0 THEN NULL ELSE ROUND([Measures].[Disconnects]/(([Measures].[Beginning LIS] + [Measures].[Beginning LIS] + [Measures].[NETACTIVATIONS])/2) * 100 ,2) END ELSE ROUND(([Measures].[Disconnects] / [AVERAGELIS] * 100) ,2) END
In English - i need this to translate to - of End LIS is 0 "AND the current member is the current month and current year" THEN carry on
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.
I have a requirement to show the parent value which is passed and also all the leaf member details in MDX. For example in Adventure works, if I pass Bikes as the value in MDX, the results should display Bikes along with All the child member names as a measure value in SSAS MDX. I only have one hierarchy with Product Category-> Subcategory-> Product.
I am trying to use the following MDX but I am getting all the members. I need to get only Bikes in my report.
WITH MEMBER [Prod_Passed] AS SETTOSTR(AXIS(1)) MEMBER [Prod_Child] AS DESCENDANTS ([Dim Product].[Hierarchy].CURRENTMEMBER,,LEAVES).item(0).NAME MEMBER [Child_Value] AS ([Dim Product].[Hierarchy].CURRENTMEMBER,[Measures].[Sales Amount]) SELECT [Dim Product].[Hierarchy].[Product Category].&[1] * [Dim Product].[Product Key].[Product Key].MEMBERS ON ROWS, {[Measures].[Sales Amount],[Prod_Passed],[Prod_Child],[Child_Value]} ON COLUMNS FROM [AdvWorks]
we are having an existing cube in that we need to update with new measures . The Measure groups are added to the cube as linked object. so when we are updating the measure group it is throwing the exceptions as follows..“Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The metadata for the statically linked measure group, with the name of 'SalesActual', cannot be verified against the source object.”
Developing a Retail cube using SSAS 2012. One of the dimension is DimCustomer with SCD type II. Each Customer can be a member or a non-member over a period of time. We have StartDt and EndDt to reflect the membership status.
eg: Joe is a member between 06-01-2014 and 31-08-2014 Joe is a non-member between 09-01-2014 and 01-31-2015 Joe is a member between 02-01-2015 and 04-30-2015 Joe is a non-member between 05-01-2015 and 12-31-9999
Without adding fact row of Joe for each day to reflect the membership status, I want to provide the ability to measure "Active Customers Count" on a given date. There are 2 million customers in the DimCustomer Table.
I 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.
In 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".
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?
Are Measure Expressions Supported in SSAS 2014 Standard Edition?In 2005 SSAS, I remember that Measure Expressions were not supported in the Standard Edition, only Enterprise Edition.
I can pull a last processed date for the entire model: URL...That works great for showing the last time anything in the entire model was processed. It is not table specific. Updating / processing table A also changes the timestamp on tables B and C.However, if I want to look at just a specific table in the model (build a column for each fact table and a measure to go with it) I find that doing any process operation updates all the =Now() columns in all the fact tables.If I have a model with 3 fact tables and I do a process table using ProcessFull on one of them, all three tables calculated columns "LastProcessed" =NOW() are updated. URL...
Is there a way to setup a measure in the model on a per table level to show last processed date for each individual table? LastDataRefresh:= MAX ('TableA'[LastProcessed])
For example: Our sales table may update three times a day, where as our warehouse inventory table is only updated nightly.I wanted to let end users see by adding a measure for each table when the last process event was for a given table in the model.
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 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.
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.
I've selected a domain-based attribute for one of the leaf member attributes in the same entity, aka parent id, since it's a self-referencing entity. However, I cannot find a way to display anything but the code value in the drop-down (see below).
Is there a way to change the display value so that I can choose the attribute from the entity from which I want the user to choose? In other words, I would like to display the hierarchy name instead of the code, which is really just the primary id.
i want to create a new measure that will behave based on the dimension dropped,ex. if i added the employee dimension only it will aggregate data from the #Calls Count but if i added the product dimension it should display # Product Calls at the product level and #Calls Count at the employee level as shown in the screen shot.
I have connected to SQL SERVICES ANALYSIS SERVICE database through excel and when I observed that value of the date attribute is displayed as ######## in the excel for 1/1/1753.
I am able to see the value 1/1/1753 in the Cube browser but not able to see the vale in the excel.
how to replace this value with blank in the excel.
In my cube there are two measures which are used in different calculations.Now I'm need to show in report if there any months in data when both or even another one of the measures is not updated (value = 0 or NULL).
how should I create the calculated measure for that?
I have tried in mgmt studio to plan this but I'm in a loop of errors.
I'm looking for a new way to publish reports based on OLAP data and was very disappointed to find that Reporting Services does not natively support displaying MDX query results in a matrix. While it is possible to assign an MDX query to the matrix control in Reporting Services, the two main problems are that the columns of the query must be measures (not dimensions), and it does not support display of server based formatting (fore color, back color, and font flags).
Does anyone know of any custom control that properly deals with Analysis Services data?
I am a newbye with Analysis Services and am desperately trying to find a way to include a calculation between one of my measures (Teus), divided by the vessel capacity, where vessel is one of my dimensions (and is therefore not depended on other dimensions...)
Any ideas how I could implement that ?? This would help a lot, thanks for your help,
CREATE VIEW... Select 'Due_0-1_Month' as Ageing_Threshold union all Select 'Due_1-2_Month' union all Select 'Due_2-3_Month'
[Code] ....
I was successful in processing the cube, however the problem is everytime I drag the dimension on the columns field in Pivot tables the Thresholds start to break up the other amounts that I have on display like Acquisition Costs, Tax amounts. I am only interested in showing the breakdown of Premium amount measure by the Threshold dimension.
somehow 'Hide' or 'prevent' the Threshold dimension from breaking down the other measures on the Pivot and only breakdown the amounts for Premium?
how I should structure my tables in SQL or any MDX queries to resolve this.
The data attached below is from a Fact table. When this data is browsed in the Cube the end user is only interested in value of Measure 1 when it is not equal to zero. Measure 1 is a base measure .how to suppress the value 0 for Measure 1 in the Cube.
