I'm exploring creating local cube files, .cub from an excel sheet with tables.Would SSAS be able to create one cube from taking data from a 1 way table (A, B, C), a 2 way table (AxB, BxC, AxC) and a 3 way table (AxBxC)?

I need to extract data from SSAS' cubes into a SQL Server table.
I already read examples using Linked server (with openquery), SSIS, etc. However, the result always return as many columns per dimension as levels. I need to extract all members of a dimension in a column. E.g., when excecuting the following MDX query in Adventure Works 2014:
select [Measures].[Sales Amount] on columns,
Non Empty [Date].[Calendar].members on rows
from [Adventure Works]
I would like to get this result (MDX query in SSMS), but with keys displayed intead of names:
But I get this (MDX thru openquery or SSIS):

I have two cube and i would like to get data from both cube and combine the results from both cubes to get final result to display result in SSRS reports like we can do in Stored procedure using temporary tables/Joins.Is there any way in SSAS to combine the data from multiple cubes? Data needs to be retrieved from the cubes based on the user inputs.

Can applications connect to SSAS Tabular mode cubes through ODBC drivers? I have been asked the question specifically regarding SAS, and I can see (for example) SAS Enterprise Guide has the ability to connect to sources via ODBC, so I now need to find out if there are such things as ODBC divers for SSAS (specifically Tabular).

I am running into a problem where Excel 2010 is freezing when I try to work with data coming from a Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 pre-built cube.
What is happening is that when I go to add a second dimension to my pivot table, excel locks up and becomes completely unresponsive for at least 2 hours. If I add the dimension to the table before the measure though, everything is fine.
For Example, I am trying to build a sales report with the product name and customer name as dimensions, and Sales as the measure. If I add the product name to my pivot table as a column and then sales as a measure, Excel will freeze when I try to add the customer dimension. However, if I add both dimensions to the pivot table first and then the measure, Excel seems to work fine.

I have created SSAS package successfully.
When I try to connect from excel , to SSAS Getting error message like
A Connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
If I connect to SSIS , I'm able to connect correctly.
Why I'm getting this error and how to overcome this?

After the incremental process and full process, SSAS doesn't drop the index files #.xxx.fact.map and #.xxx.fact.map.hdr in the file.0.dim folder. We now have all the versions from 3 to 5000 sitting in the folder. The DBA team only found this when the disk is running out of space recently.
We've already check the account running the SSAS has local admin to the server.
Is there any config setting that might cause this issue? If not, what could it be causing this issue.

I am working with SSAS Tabular. I have a stand alone table with 60 columns and contains 120K records. Table size is 250MB. And trying to build a tabular report out of it and it is taking longer and throwing exception, screenshot attached.
It might be cross-join issues, as workaround created a dummy measure and using in report. But it working for 10-20 k records and beyond throwing same exception. I have 8 GB RAM and 100 GB free disk space.
Customer wanted it in SSAS Tabular...

Im trying to pull a workbook which has a power pivot into SSAS using a remote tabular instance through visual studio 2013. However Im getting an error saying, " We cannot import the workbook XXXXX.xlsx. Try placing the work book on a server that the service account of DBNAME/Tabular has permission to read and that can be reached with a UNC path (//<server>/<shared>/<file>)". Here DBNAME is the server name and Tabular is the instance name.
I tried changing the logon name in SQL server analysis services(Tabular) in Services.msc Microsoft console.Also tried changing the logon to local system. Still the error persists.
how to overcome this error?

I have a Tabular data model and I'm returning a measure that counts employees (each row is an employee) and then a calculated column in the model that gets SeniorityInMonths.
So if an employee was hired exactly 1 year ago, they would have 12 in this column.
I want to group these into bins, but the Group option is grayed out.

I have a very small SSAS database with around 35 Mb. I opened it on Excel 32 bits and started dragging fields to a pivot table and it started failing with memory errors. The behavior on the SSAS server was that memory started growing very fast until 8 GB (vm memory total) and then the error is reported in excel.
What might be the issue in such a small database? I would understand in a big database, but not on this one.

New to SSAS so, have some not so intelligent ???
We have created Dimensional Model within SQL 2005 and created SSIS packages to load. We have Pk's on Dimensions and FK's on one Fact table. We are thinking about adding clustered index to Fact that consists of the FK's and order by the Hierarchy within the Fact by Dimension. IS THIS A GOOD IDEA IF WE DRILL DOWN AND DRILL THROUGH = QUESTION #1
We build a CUBE from the dimenionsal model and we do not know how to build indexes on the cube. SO DOES SSAS AUTOMATICALLY BUILD INDEXES IT THINKS IT NEEDS ON THE CUBE AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE?? ALSO IF WE HAVE INDEXES ON DIMENSIONAL MODEL DO THOSE GET USED BY SSAS CUBE THAT WE CREATED WITH AUTO BUILD??? = QUESTION #2..
THank you

Hi,
I would like to build an SSRS report from two different cubes (SSAS 2005). These cubes are contained in two different SSAS databases.
To do this, i created a dataset for each cube throught MDX expressions.
These datasets use common parameters defined in my report.
Thus, i try to integrate in my report chart datas from the two datasets, but my chart only target one dataset.
Is it possible to create a kind of dataset view to join my two datasets ?
Or is it possible to join the cubes from two different SSAS databases in an MDX expression to put all my datas in a single dataset ?
thx for your help.

I never got an answer on this so I am reposting this issue. Also, please note that I have consistently reproduced this issue on multiple perspectives within and accross multiple cubes on 3 different SQL Server Instances. I have also had no problem with perspectives within Report Models that were not generated from an SSAS Cube.
Specifics:
=========
I have created a simple cube in BI Studio against an Oracle Relational Data Warehouse. In this cube I have created a perspective in which I have selected (included) only a small subset of measures and dimension. When I view this perspective on the Browse Tab of BI Studio, only the entities that were included in the perspective were available for report construction as was expected.
Next, I generated a model for this cube in Report Manager. Now here is the problem, I then opended the model in Report Builder and selected the same perspective from above, but all of the Entities in the cube were displayed including the fields I explicitely did not include in the perspective. I then looked at the .smdl file describing the Model and it looked like in the Perspective description section all of the cube's entities were included, even the ones that should not have been included. It seems as if the problem is ocurring durring the model generation. I also tried generating the model in Management Studio and it seems to be doing the same thing.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Could I be doing something wrong(probably)? I have to give a presentation soon and this is a big deal for the Project Stakeholders.
By the way, I am using the 180 Day Evaluation of Sql Server 2005 with SP2 CTP installed.

Hi,
I have a bit of a problem I could do with some help with please...
I am updating an old windows client server app that uses ADO 2.8. Slowly but surely I am migrating the code from VB6 to .NET and this now means the ADO code is going to be replaced with ADO.NET.
As it is a client server the application used to establish an ADO connection and hold on to the connection for the entire duration of the app being alive. When a user signed in it would record the user logon code in a database table along with the current @@SPID value.
When the user does something in the application it typically usees an SP to do the database work. Inside the SP it also audits the work being carried out, of course the audit trail records the user id that did the work. The way it determines who called this SP is to query the logon table using the current @@SPID to get the users logon code (remember this was paired up when the user signed in).
This all worked very nicely as only one connection was ever being used and it was always the same connection that was used. However, when I come to use ADO.NET this is no longer valid. I want to use the connection pool and follow the best practices where my connections are always obtained as late as possible and released as soon as possible.
This leave me with the problem of how to get the current users logon code in to the SPs in order for them to continue writing the audit trail. Currently I am thinking that I am going to have to send the users code in to the SP as a parameter, I just wondered if there was an alternative.
Any help would be great.
Regards
Graham

I'm wondering if there's a good way to sort of pass a value to a trigger, in cases where it needs to store more than just what it can collect from the table it is triggering off of.
We have a database that is used by several applications. Each application connects to the database using a distinct SQL Server Login. So, "Application1" might connect to the database using SQL Server Login "Application1Login".
Each application can be used by any number of users who "log in" to the application. This process merely authenticates them against a stored username and password in the database, but it uses the "Application1Login" for actually connecting to the database. So, when users log in to the application, they're all using the same SQL Server Login to connect to the database. This isn't something that is likely to change, though I realize my question could be answered more simply if each person using the system connected via a specific SQL Server Login.
Whenever an action is performed against the database by an application user, we pass the UserId of the user. We store that UserId in tables when they are inserted or updated. We also have History Tables on several tables, with triggers on Insert, Update, and Delete.
The Insert and Update triggers work great: The stored procedure sets the "LastModifiedByUserId" field in the table to the passed UserId, which causes the history table's entry to use that newly changed information. So, we can always tell who inserted or modified a History table entry by setting the Last Modified By field in the Insert or Update.
The problem is with deletions. Since deletions don't set the LastModifiedByUserId field (it doesn't set fields; it's deleting the row), then the trigger has nothing new to go on. The trigger will cause the History table entry to use the last known value of the LastModifiedByUserId field, which is probably not going to be the person who actually deleted the record.
My solution to this problem is to create a "HistoryDeletedUser" table which only contains a single row, and a single column, which is used to store a UserId value. When performing a deletion, I would first update that table, setting the UserId to the current user's UserId. Then, I delete from the appropriate table. The DELETE trigger would then select the current value from that table, and insert it into the History record as the UserId of the person who deleted the record. After the deletion, I would set the HistoryDeletedUser to Null. As long as I perform my queries within a transaction, it should always be accurate (though I suppose that queries that would otherwise be unrelated to each other would now have to compete for Lock access on the HistoryDeletedUser table...)

I work with 2 cubes on live and one for development. I've set the roles in the live cube (using SQL Server management studio). If i go to the design mode of the cube the new roles are not there, so deploying the cube will not update the development cube with the roles. How one can easily copy roles between cubes. (adding them manually would be a lot of work because there are quite a lot of different roles).

I am trying to select from 2 cubes. in one condition - select .. From CubeX, and in sec Condition Select .. From CubeY.
I tried to put the name of the Cube as parameter:
SELECT ...
FROM @CurrentCube
in ssrs source and i got the message:
------------------------------
Failed to parse the query to detect if it is MDX or DMX. Error: 'Query (148, 6) Parser: The syntax for '@CurrentCube' is incorrect.' (MDXQueryGenerator)
------------------------------
Also tried to get the name of the Cube as Member (I have a property with the name of the cube),and than using the member to the select :
WITH MEMBER [CurrentCube] AS
...[dim name].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("Cube")
SELECT ...
FROM [CurrentCube]
It didnt work too.. Is it Possible at all make the Cube-name dynamic?!

Hi,
I have some questions about SQL Servers 2000 and 2005 compatibility.
In my configuration I have to use both servers.
The cubes are stocked in 2005 server.
May I transfer from 2005 to 2000 Analysis Services the cubes?
If yes, what is the procedure? The result of migration is the same in the two different versions?
If not, how can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
