We have a sales fact table that has sales by customers, products, date etc. and dimension tables such as customers, products etc.
We built a multi-dimensional cube on top of these tables. how do we support queries like "show me top 10 products by sales amount and then show customers that didn't buy these products"?
I have the below data. I need to produce a report that shows customer and total sales who had the max sales by year.
Order ID Cust ID Year Sales
O1 C1 2000 100
O2 C1 2000 150
O1 C2 2000 50
O1 C1 2001 150
O2 C3 2001 200
Report:
Cust ID Year Sales
C1 2000 250
C3 2001 200
i face a problem to create a new cube with the fact table without numeric field as a measure. can i use others data type of field as a measures?
anyone can provide me a solutions to solve it? thank you ..
Is it correct to say that for each cube you can have only one Fact Table? I am having a funny dispute just now.Â
According my experience I never built cubes with more than one fact table, if I want take data from more than one table I write a view and I use it as Fact table...but a cube with two or three fact tables? Never tried..
I am working on a model where I have a sales fact table. Each fact record has four different customer fields (ship- to, sold-to, payer, and bill-to customer). I have one customer dimension table that joins to the sales fact table four times (once for each of the customer fields above). When viewing the data in Excel, I would like to have four hierarchies (ship -to, sold-to, payer, and bill-to customer) within Customer.Â
Is there a way to build hierarchies within my Customer dimension based on the same Customer table? What I want is to view the data in Excel and see the Customer dimension. Within Customer, I want four hierarchies.Â
I have a big table with several types of transsactions: PO (Puchase Orders, SO,( Sales orders), INV (Invoices) ....
I want to create cubes with only one type of transactions (1 cube for PO,...)
Where and how can I filter the rows I want to use in my cube ?
Thanks
I am using a WriteBack Partition to receive data from various inputs and appends any new data that I add to the WB partition.Â
I am able to read the data immediately in the WB partition through a Fact partition query. This is working at this point as desired.
Eventually I want to move the data from the WB partition into Fact Partition. How can I do this, manually and through automation.Â
I have  a large fact table about 500 million rows, and I am using 2008 r2, thus I am having the file system error, I have browsed online and tried all the fix , but I am still having the error . I tried taking only about year data (which was still around 200 million records) and  I was still having the error.

Month, Region and Product Category is present in Date, Region and Product Category dimension respectively. I have only three dimensions as Customer, Product and Date. Linking those dimensions to Actual Fact table is not an issue, what is the best way and options are there to link budget fact table to those three dimensions.
I have an invoice table with customer, date, sales location, and invoice total. I want to total the invoices by location by customer and see what location sells the most to each customer. My table looks like this.

If I have to use CTEs to get there, I can do that too. Just a little lost on how to get only the one location per customer.

I'm trying to develop a query that provides sales data by Customer.GroupCode in monthly columns as depicted below:

Here€™s a simplified version of the DDL:
CREATE TABLE invchead (
invoicenum int NULL ,
invoicedate datetime NULL ,
invoiceamt decimal(16, 2) NULL ,
custnum int NULL )
CREATE TABLE customer (
custnum int NULL ,
groupcode varchar (4) NULL )
The query below gets me close but it gives me gives me one row for each customer. So if I have 5 customers with the same group code, I get 5 rows for that group code. I need to modify it or come up with a different approach that gives me only one row for each GroupCode.
SELECT distinct
c.Name,
c.GroupCode,
(SELECT SUM(InvoiceAmt) FROM InvcHead WHERE InvcHead.custnum=i.custnum AND DATEPART(year, InvcHead.invoicedate)= DATEPART(year, i.invoicedate) AND DATEPART(month, InvcHead.invoicedate)=1) JAN,
(SELECT SUM(InvoiceAmt) FROM InvcHead WHERE InvcHead.custnum=i.custnum AND DATEPART(year, InvcHead.invoicedate)= DATEPART(year, i.invoicedate) AND DATEPART(month, InvcHead.invoicedate)=2) FEB,
......
(SELECT SUM(InvoiceAmt) FROM InvcHead WHERE InvcHead.custnum=i.custnum AND DATEPART(year, InvcHead.invoicedate)= DATEPART(year, i.invoicedate)) TOT
FROM InvcHead i INNER JOIN Customer c ON (i.custnum=c.custnum)
WHERE i.invoicedate>='1-1-2007' AND i.invoicedate<'1-1-2008'
Grateful for any advice that will get me closer to accomplishing this.

I am developing a BI solution on SQL Server 2008 R2 and how to handle multiple referances to the same dimension from a fact table!
Here is the scenario;
Fact_Contracts (# M)
ServiceProvider_CompanyID, Client_CompanyID, Amount_USDÂ
Dim_Company( hundreds)
ID, CityID, ProfessionID, CompanyName
Dim_City
ID, CityName
Dim_Profession
 ID, ProfessionName
As u can see there is two company references in my fact table, and the schema is in snowflake. My customer requirements state that the Contracts' amounts can be aggregated/filtered for/by, ServiceProviderCompany, its city/profession or ClientCompay, its city/profession.
First thing came in to my mind is to dublicate whole dimension structure (one for serviceproviders, one for clients), which i thought that there should be another way around?
I'm having problems filtering in my MDX query.
My requirements are to return the sales for each customer for each store, for the past 6 weeks.
The catch is that I only want those customers which have had sales over 10,000 within the last week.
This is my query:
WITH SET [CustomerList] AS
FILTER(
([Store].[Store Name].[Store Name], [Customer].[Customer Name].[Customer Name]),
[Measures].[Sales] >= 10000
AND [Date].[Fiscal Week Name].&[2015-01-26 to 2015-02-01]
[Code] ....
The dates are hard-coded for testing purposes.
I have a report which totals sales by customer. Then table footer has a grand total of all customer sales. I would like to get a percent of each customer's sales against the total sales. How do I get the sum from the table footer to use in an individual customer row?
Thanks.
Say you have a fact table with a few columns that all reference the same key column in a dimension table, you want to write a view to return the information for those keys?
USE MyTestDB;
GO
SET NOCOUNT ON;
IF OBJECT_ID ('dbo.FactTemp' ,'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE dbo.FactTemp;
[Code] ....
I'm using very small data at the moment, and the query plan and statistics don't really say which way.
I am writing a query to display the count of products when a month is the primary month (Month where large sales happened)..Please consider the following query..
With Member ProductRank as
Rank([Date Due].[Calendar].currentmember,TopCount([Date Due].[Calendar].[Month],1,[Measures].[Sales Amount]))
Member PrimaryProd as
Count(Filter([Product].[Product].[Product],[Measures].ProductRank=1))
Select PrimaryProd on 0, Order([Date Due].[Calendar].[Month],PrimaryProd,bdesc) on 1 from [Sales]
Output:
Â
It runs for 13 seconds on my laptop. I Â have modified the query to get the results fast like With
Set MySet as TopCount([Date Due].[Calendar].[Month],1,[Measures].[Sales Amount])
Member ProductRank as
Rank([Date Due].[Calendar].currentmember,MySet)
Member PrimaryProd as
Count(Filter([Product].[Product].[Product],[Measures].ProductRank=1))
Select PrimaryProd on 0, Order([Date Due].[Calendar].[Month],PrimaryProd,Bdesc) on 1 from [Sales]
Output:
This query runs instantly and result is not the same. Am I missing something here?

I'm trying to make a parameter in SSRS that defaults to most recent date with sales. Below gives me all dates with sales. How can I get the results to give me just the most recent? I've tried MAX and LastChild in a couple different ways but no luck.Â
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS [Time].[Date].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION

MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Time].[Date].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL

I have a fact table which lists the last 12 month historical sales of a product,country,month combination so the table structure is like:
<month, productID, countryID, (month-3 sales), (month-4 sales).........,(month-14 sales)>
I need to write an MDX query which will return a flag that indicates if a product has a gap of more than 2 consecutive months in terms of positive sales. So I calculate if there is a gap of 3 months. If yes, then return 1 else null. The calculation below is scoped at product level.
IIF(([month-3 sales]<=0 ANDÂ [month-4 sales]<=0 AND [month-5 sales]<=0)
OR Â ([month-4 sales]<=0 ANDÂ [month-5 sales]<=0 AND [month-6 sales]<=0)
OR ([month-5 sales]<=0 ANDÂ [month-6 sales]<=0 AND [month-7 sales]<=0)
...............
OR ([month-12 sales]<=0 ANDÂ [month-13 sales]<=0 AND [month-14 sales]<=0)),1,NULL)
Unfortunately I cannot do this calculation at relational level as a product may have a gap of more than 2 months at country level but may not have this at a higher level in geography.
optimizing this as the performance is bad and other calculated measures are dependent on this. Based on this calculation, I can write a scope which sums up all products so that I get the count of products with a gap of more than 2 months in sales.
I have also tried CASE statement and NESTED IIFs but the performance is worse than the above.
I am trying to calculate the maximum sales per store where multiple stores exist in the same region (i.e there must be doubles of that row) in order to determine the most profitable store per that region.
E.g.
Store Sales
A 500
B 200
B 100
C 400
C 800
D 100
D 200
D 700
Looking for result set like:
B 200
C 800
D 700

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got a dimension built from a fact (whatever that's called?) ... it's a date interval field, i.e. 0-5 weeks, 6-10 weeks 11+ weeks. How do I sort these members in the respective order? Looks like this currently:
The problem lies in the fact that I don't have any secondary attributes to order it by, i.e. it's not a physical dimension where I can use a key for the 3 members. I was hoping I wouldn't need to create a separate dimension to get round this.

I have sales data in SSAS cube and mapping data in RDBMS table. I want to apply join to get result into SSRS report.
Here we should get data of yesterday from time dimension of cube.
Time is in [Time].[FiscalYearHierarchy].[Fiscal Day].&[2015-05-28T00:00:00] format.
I 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 ?
I built my first tabular model and see that my fact tables are also appearing as dimensions. In Multi dimensional mode i could choose which are the dimensions. How do i do that in tabular model.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm currently setting up a Tabular Model to do some research between several fact tables. Â In this example i have two fact tables (table 1 and table 2)Â which I've created a 1 to 1 relationship on phone number.

Â However, in this case I am trying to figure out the best way to model the data so that I can easily surface data from one table that does not exist in the other.

I have a Fact table that contains several degenerate string values that I have pulled into a Fact Dimension.
When I browse the cube and cut one of the measures by an attribute from the Fact Dimension, I am getting incorrect data.
In other words, when I query the fact table directly via SQL and apply the same filters, I see the data I am expecting to see. But cube browse with same filters yields different results.
How can this happen since the fact dimension has a 1:1 relationship with the fact table.
I do have the Dimension Usage configured properly.
Is this an aggregation thing? Attribute key thing? What am I missing?
hello,
i have a Products table, and i want to make an image data type to one of his rows (Picture1 for example), i want to know, what is best, to store the picture in the database or store only the direction to the picture?
if i store only the direction, i should take it from some output parameters of the Upload function of ASP and the add it to the Database? can i add it to a special folder for example MySiteUserName + file name?
and another thing: let's say i have Promotion - tinyint, to store the promotion value of this product..If i show products using DataList, i could order my products first after Promotion and then after date added? could i use a special CssClass(font weight or other background) for the products witch has the Promotion more than 10 for example?
how can i know the exact date time (yy/mm/dd/hh/mm) ? - it is taked from the Server date?
thank you

Hi i've to table where i have a product code and a area code.
I want to insert the values from table 1 into table 2 if the product code and area code do not already exists in the table in table 2.
Am using this code below but it does not seem to be working.
select distinct p_code1, area_code
from table1
where not exists
(select p_code, area_code
from table 2 )
i am trying to find a way to link an 'initial' Sale ID of a product to 'future' Sale IDs of products that will trace back to the original Sale ID.For example, if I call the original sale , 'Sale ID #123', how can i link future Sale ID's (child[ren]) and all future sales to the original Sale ID #123? Can I use a Surrogate Key or similar function?
Parent:Sale ID #123
Children:Â Sale ID # 456,
Sale ID #789,
Sale ID #.....
how I can link the original Sales ID (Parent) to Sale ID's (child[ren]) of future purchases currently existing and in the future going forward?
