Analysis Service Manager
May 24, 2007I give up, how do you start the Analysis Manager? SSAS is installed and running, but I just can't seem to find the button/shortcut/whatever to start the manager.

Analysis :: Excel 2013 Pivot-table / Grouping On Date That Comes From Analysis Service 2008?
Nov 24, 2015I 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 Â
DateStr1:
  - Type: System.String
  - Value: %d/%M/yyyy (note: I am not using US culture)Â
  - Example: 1/11/2015 Â
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.Â
  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.
Analysis :: Running Analysis Service In Terms Of Port Usage?
May 30, 2015I 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.

Jul 20, 2005On one of our machines, all of the SQL Server 2000components except for the main Server component (SQL Servercore) itself were installed (Management tools, etc) a while agoand everything was running fine. Now I go and add/install theServer component and then Service Pack 3a.It seems that Service Manager won't start up (I get an hourglass cursor)and now I find that Enterprise Manager won't run as well. No errormessages appeared and I don't think I saw anything unusual inthe log file.However, I can use Enterprise Manager on a differentmachine and connect to the database (so the databaseitself seems to be running).Any suggestions as to what the problem might be and how tofix it? I like to see if I can repair this without havingto do a reinstall.Thanks.PF

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow To Connect To Analysis Service Database Through Reporting Service?
Mar 31, 2006Hello,
In our project, we would like to use the same data source for our analysis service database cubes and for our reporting service reports.
I created the analysis service project first, deployed successfully. When trying to setting up the data source in the report model project, I selected the "create a data source based on another object", and then selected the "create a data source based on an analysis service project". However, there is no analysis service project to select, and no browse button to see where the reporting service is looking for analysis service project either.
I have tried creating a new analysis service project with data source views, cubes, dimensions and all the stuff, but still cannot see the analysis service project in the drop down box to be selected for my reporting model project data source.
As I am fairly new to the reporting service, I'm sure I'm missing something, but couldn't find much information in the help or on the web. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much,
Annie

Connecting To DB With Analysis Manager
Sep 3, 2003Hello,
I'm trying to connect to an Oracle Database because I want to make a connection for my datasource in Analysis Manager. I have a servername, an user-id and a password. When I try the connection in SQL+, it works but when try it in Analysis Manager I get an error: "Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Oracle error occured, but error message could not be retrieved from Oracle."
My provider is an "MS OLE DB provider for Oracle" because it is an oracle database I have to connect to.
Does somebody know what I'm doing wrong?
The server is imported in the tnsnames.ora file.
Kind regards,
Birgit

Storage Design Analysis Manager
Feb 27, 2008I have a question about the storage design wizard in the analysis manager.
We are working with different seasons in our reports and every week we update the data of the seasons in our cubes. But as seasons end, and at some point the data for old seasons doesn't change anymore, I don't think it is necessary to update every season every week (which we now still do now for seasons in, for example, 2004). It's a waste of time. So my question now is. How can I storage the data of previous seasons (and work with them in the report) and still be able to update the current season? Can I use the storage design for this??
HELP REQUESTED - Exporting Data From Analysis Manager
Jun 19, 2002Does anyone out there know a way to export data from the results pane in the Analysis Manager to Excel, or even text? I had thought this would be simple and intuitive to accomplish (after all, it is reasonable to think they would assume you would need to display the results of your analysis), but have found it to be neither. Your help is much appreciated.

SSIS Error When Try To Add The Analysis Services Connection Manager
Feb 5, 2008I use Sql server 2005 standard edition in a 64 bit machine.I tried to create a SSIS project with an Analysis Services Processing Task. In connection Manager, the test connection succeeds but when I try to add the analysis services connection manager it gives following error.-The new connection manager could not be created,Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0010014 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSRuntimeWrap). This is a production server and we cannot reproduce this in other servers , so troubleshooting is difficult. This error appears when connecting to other sources like MS excel in Export task of Enteerprise Manager as well. Cubes can be processed manually without any problem.Pls give me a solution.

Unable To Install Analysis Service SP3

I was facing problems applying SP3 for Analysis Services so I removed it and then re-installed.
I then tried to apply SP3 but I am still getting v8.00.382 for AS (which represents SP1). I have tried a couple of things but it seems that SP3 is just not getting applied (for Analysis Services).
Anyone any clues? Thanks.

One of my users is supposed to have full access to all other dimesions except for one and thus I have defined a customized role on one of 4 dimensions that I have.
When I test the role (from the front-end), I am getting a strange message in my front-end and could it be that I also have to define a role for this user on all other dimensions? Should I define the role on the server or the client??? As you can guess, I am a bit confused and will appreciate your help.
