I have one dimension and one measure group. I deployed and processed the cube. Now I am able to browse the data. Now I added one more dimension. I deployed and reprocessed again the Cube. Now I am not able to see any values. Â I am getting like below.
View 6 RepliesI'm new to MDX, and most of the time I customize existing queries rather than writing new ones. I currently have a MDX query like this
SELECTÂ
[Measures].[Fees Billed]
         on 0,
except([Age].[Day Buckets].members, {[Age].[Day Buckets].[All], [Age].[Day Buckets].&[Unknown]})
 on 1
FROMÂ
   MyCube
WHERE ([Fiscal Period].[Fiscal Year].&[2015], [Customer].[City].&[Auckland] )
Which brings the fees billed by age buckets where the customer's city is Auckland. I also have another dimension called [Sales Agent] with a member [City] in it, and there is a member in [Customer] called [Customer].[Sales Agent]
I am trying to retrieve the same information where the customer's sales agent's city is Auckland rather than the customer's city.
If it is SQL, I will join Customer and SalesAgent on Customer.SalesAgentUno = SalesAgent.SalesAgentUno and bring in the desired data. Any way in MDX to do this?
I am modelling two fact tables of Actuals and Budget which are at different granularity, Actuals are at day, customer and product sub category level. Budgets are at month, Region and Product category level.
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.

Hi,
I have processed the data successfully for the cube after desiging storage as MOLAP with 50% performance gain. When I tried browse the data I am getting the followign error.
Unable to Browse the cube 'cubename', Unspecified error.
Any help please.

In Analysis Services is there a way you can change a private dimension into a shared dimension without having to recreate it

I create the parameters for a custom report after right click on a specific Cube and select Browse to arrive at a view where i can define dimensions and parameters as well as drag and drop measure to the report rows and columns. The left top File bottom only give me a Save Selection or Save ALL option. However, i'm not sure where it saves it to or if it saves the settings for this custom report at all.
I pull this report monthly and it's a pain to recreate all the parameters. How to save this template for future pulls or maybe even incorporate the pull into excel for monthly refresh instead?
I have a problem where I have 3 three measures in a virtual cube:
"Actual", "Budget" and "Full Year Budget".
The dimensions I have are:
- Account No_ / Name
- Cost Code
- Sub Cost Code
- Time/Dates
- Budget Name
Both "Actual" & "Budget" measures need to be filtered/dimensioned by:
- Account No_ / Name
- Cost Code
- Sub Cost Code
- Time/Dates (exclusive to "Actual", "Budget")
Thus have put these in one cube
AND "Full Year Budget" needs to be filtered/dimensioned by:
- Account No_ / Name
- Cost Code
- Sub Cost Code
- Budget Name (exclusive to "Full Year Budget")
THUS have put this as one cube…
I then created a virtual cube, with the 2 cubes thinking that the dimensions I created in the original cubes would only filter the measures of the original cube measures in the virtual cube. ...BUT all dimension filters in the virtual cube filter all measures in the virtual cube, irrespective of which dimensions were created with the original cubes.
please help!
I need to show the dimensions of my model like columns in the result. I have this query
withÂ
member [Measures].[Customer] as [Customers].[Customer].CURRENTMEMBER.Name
member [Measures].[UCs] as [UCs].[UC].CURRENTMEMBER.Name
member [Measures].[Order Type] as [Order Types].[Order Type].CURRENTMEMBER.Name
member [Measures].[UC Dates] as [UC Dates].[UC Date].CURRENTMEMBER.Name
[Code] .....
Actually I want to do distinct sum on a measure group, please find the below table as sample
XL Measure group
LKÂ Â Â Â OKÂ Â Â Â Â Amount
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 10Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 11Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 30Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 31Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 32Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
For the above measure group two dimensions have relationships, One is L dimension which is having relationship with XL on LK and One is O dimension which is having relationship with XL on OK. If I drag L dimension attributes  it should show results as below
LK LName Amount
1Â Â Â Â AÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
3Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
But above results are coming as below
LK LName Amount
1Â Â Â Â AÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 200
3Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 750
If I drag O dimension attributes along with L dimension, it should show results as below.
LK  LName  OK     OKName  Amount
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â AÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 10Â Â Â Â Â Â XYZÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â AÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 11Â Â Â Â Â Â UVWÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 30Â Â Â Â Â Â PQRÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 31Â Â Â Â Â KLMÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 32Â Â Â Â Â TUVÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
I used formula Measures.Amount/Measures.Count, this formula is not showing correct results when I don't drag any dimensions, it is showing results for All member as 425, but it should show as 350.
So I made a same change ([L].[LK].Currentmember, Measures.Amount)/([L].[LK].Currentmember,Measures.Count), this worked fine but performance is very low and so stopped working on this.
Atlast I did the measure group like this
LK    OK     LAmount  OAmount
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 10Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 11Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 30Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 300Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 300
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 31Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 300
I want to show Measures.LAmount when only L dimension is querying and want to show OAmount when both L dimension and O dimension are querying. Is this possible ?

Is it possible to filter out a measure only at the intersection of Two dimension members? I have a date dimension, Â a Hospital dimension and a wait time measure.
For Example, is it possible to filter out Wait time for Bayside Hospital for the Month of June 2015?
I want Wait time to continue to be displayed for all other months and roll up into the totals without the filtered value.
I have make a calculated member for previous period of an given date range. The previous period is the same date range from the previous year, and I have managed to achieve that with the calculated member:
Create member currentcube.[Measures].[PrevPeriod] as
(ParallelPeriod( [Start Date].[Cal Hierarchy].[Year], 1, [Start Date].[CAL Hierarchy].CurrentMember), [Measures].[Count]);
This member returns the correct result as long as my query uses the time dimension, which makes sense... but I also need to show results sliced by other dimensions in bar charts that do not display the time dimension. For example, I have a dimension with only 3 members called [Region].[Area].[AreaName].
The result set for the bar chart needs to look like this:
[AreaName]Â | [Count]Â |Â [PrevPeriod]
East           |   43     |      56
West          |   53     |      95
But the [PrevPeriod] only returns values if I include the time dimension. I essentially need to sum the results of the time dimension/AreaName/[PrevPeriod] tuple down to just Areaname/[PrevPeriod] for whatever date range may be involved.
I don't know if this is significant to the issue, but the client tool that generates the bar charts builds the query with the date range as a subcube in the FROM statement. If the [PrevPeriod] is outside of the subcube that is still OK, as long as the time dimension is included in an Axis on the final select statement, so at least I know I am not suffering from the members inside the subcube. I've also found in SSMS that it makes no difference if I make the query a subcube, or put the date range in a where clause instead; I still get NULL for [PrevPeriod] without the dates.
I can't imagine that this is an unusual situation, so I hope I've explained it adequately! What is the recommended technique for summarizing a Parallelperiod by dimensions without displaying the time/dates ?
I have a cube with 2 many-to-many dimensions where a special mdx query needs about 5 seconds. When I resolve the many to many relationships by multiplying the data in the fact table the query needs 21 seconds.
In general do many-to-many dimensions slow down query performance of a cube?
Without the many-to-many dimensions of course the fact table has much more rows. Could this be the reason for the performance loss?
how to tweak query performance of a cube in general?
Hi,
I have a Time Dimension which allows me to select a specific YEAR, or YEAR & QUARTER or YEAR & QUARTER & MONTH, or YEAR & QUARTER & MONTH & DAY.
Is there any way that I can have a range of dates?
Is it possible to have 2 time Dimensions for example which did the following:
a start: Year|Month for example
(>= Year|Month )
.......and......
an end: Year|Month
(<= Year|Month )
Thus I would be able to select a range of dates/months.
Do you know if this is possible to write this inot the dimension?
Thanks,
David
I have a requirement to set Description values for our cube dimensions and attributes.Â
I've done this for regular dimensions but I cant seem to find a way for role playing dimensions. I can set the base dimension descriptions but not the 'clones'. Is this possible?Â
The all-level of dimensions doesn't show up in the PivotTable Field List? I have reports where I want to show one member of a dimensions compared to the total of the dimension (and not the total of the members shown). But I can't select the ALL-level. Is there any way to do this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using a "Client" dimension that includes a "Holding - Client" hierarchy. I have to make sure, that only the appropriate roles may access appropriate members from this dimension, but I only have the information which role may access which ClientID - I do not have the information which HoldingID should be accessible. Also, "Client" is used as the key column of the dimension with "ClientID" and "HoldingID" as key columns. The hierarchy is strict, no client may belong to multiple holdings.
I cannot seem to find the right MDX for the allowed member set. My MDX expression would need to look like this:
[Client].[Holding - Client].[Client].&[*]&[123]
In this example I want to give access for client &123, no matter the holding, so &1&123 and &2&123 would be allowed.
Is this doable?

Our company is doing some basic research into using analysis services as a solution for our customers. I've taken our database and built an analysis services project in BI Studio and deployed it to Analysis Services on my local machine I connect to Reporting Services in Management Studio, create a folder for the cube, give my Windows user acct. Content Manager permission, create the Data Source (conn string = "Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Data Source=(local)SQLServer2k5;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=STI-PDB" -- copied from the Analysis Services project in BI Studio), and go to "Generate Model". What I get is an rsModelGenerationError, sub [Create Perspective From Cubes] with a connection issue at the base:
Either the user, <computername>Thomas, does not have access to the STI-PDB Database, or the database does not exist. () (Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services)
Now, in the Database Engine, my Windows account has the db_owner database role for STI-PDB and it's default schema is dbo, which all the objects are created under. What am I missing here?
Hi,
I have 2 fact tables and 2 dimensions (one of them is time).
fact1 ---- pk-fk ------ fact1-details-table
(date) |
| Dimension.
|
TimeDim
Is there a way to define measure group on fact1-details-table using TimeDim. Date info is only in fact1 table and not in details table.
Is namedquery joining the 2 fact tables the best solution in this case? There is so much redundancy using one fact table, so underlying sqldb uses 2 tables.
Thanks,
Chandra.
Hi,
I'm trying to create a DM model using TS algorithm, to predict sales for different products and channels but I can only get it to work using one of those two "dimensions" or columns the other one is ignored (This is, my fact table contains a key for time, a key for channel a key for product and the metrics and the model only seems to allow working with time, the metrics and only one of the other dimensions product or channel ..) Am I missing something?
Thanks
1. As per my current development SQL Sever Analysis Database consists of two Cube (Cube A and Cube B).  Cube A and Cube B share the same data source view (DSV1). The source for both these cubes has the same data source (DS1).
2. As per the requirement I need to create third Cube i.e. Cube C. Is it possible to create a second Data Source View (DSV2). The Source of second Data Source View (DSV2) will be the same data source(DS1).
I am thinking to create second Data Source View (DSV2) for Cube C because existing layout of the DSV1 has become complex. I wanted to know the pros and cons of creating a multiple data source view with same data source
Our business model involves a lot of dates and the business owners frequently want reports based on each of these different dates. For example in any given order there are as follows:
- Order created date
- Client due date
- Order first payment date (an order can have multiple payments)
- Order fully paid date
- Date assigned to vendor
- Vendor return date
- Date delivered to client
On top of that we have other areas of the business, the data from which ties into the above. Here we have more dates e.g.
- Date vendor recruited
- Date vendor reviewed
At any given point the manager may want a report based on any of these dates. For example;
- Product type by order creation date (fiscal year / month)
- Product type by first payment date  (fiscal year / month)
- Product type by client due date (fiscal year / month)
and so forth. I have been asked to create a report using all of the above on at least one occasion, many of them far more frequently. At the moment I have created a standard date table and then duplicated that for each type of date that I need however this is becoming excruciating to work with as I have approximately 10-12 date tables in my data model. Is there a better way of doing this now, in Excel 2013? If not, is there an improvement in 2016 that may make life easier?Â

I'm using a DW from Northwind database to build a cube to do some analitical taks. I already create the cube and now I am "cleaning" the dimensions. I'm having some difficults to understand the logical off this part. The reason is that When I create the Data Source View, I only import the Foreign Keys that connect the Dimensions to Fact_Table. I have to drag the attributes of Dimension from Data Source View to the tab attributes?Â
Imagine this:
I have the following dimension:
Dim_Customer:
Customer_ID
Name_Customer
Job_Function
Date_of_Birth
Contact
Address
City
Country
When I create the cube only Customer_ID appears in attributes tab, it's normal?Â
One more question:
I don't want to create a hierarchy like:
Customer ID -> Name_Customer
Customer ID -> Date_of_Birth
Customer ID -> Address
Customer ID -> City
Customer ID -> Country
My idea is to create the following hierarchy:Â
Name_Customer ->Â Date_of_Birth ->Â Â Address ->Â Â City ->Â Country
But the first hierarchy that I show is always appears to me. Do you know what is happens?
I'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 Typically I create a relationship between these tables to find common data between the two. 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. Â I would liken this to a LEFT JOIN or a WHERE NOT EXISTS in SQL.
Table 1 has all of the data and Table 2 Only has a subset of the data from Table 1. Â What I'm trying to do here is display what attributes in Table 1 may play a part in records not existing in Table 2. What is the best way to model this?

Hi, all experts here,
Do we always have to use SCD component for the loading of data into data warehouse to handle changes of rows?
I am looking forward to hearing from you and thank you very much in advance for your help.
With best regards,
I need to create a package that updates the dimensions and cube data from a data warehouse on daily basis. I was going to create a Data Flow that takes the data from the DW source then put it as input to a Process Dimension destination to update the dimensions and use a Process Partition destination in the same manner to update the cube, but then I came across the Analysis Services Processing Task which seems to do the job as well. I am kinda confused which way to go. Any recommendations?

SQL Server Data Tools within VS 2010 Shell.2012 SASS in Tabular Mode.I've created a Measure and KPI in my fact table. I've created a perspective named "Summary" When selecting the fields and measures for display in the perspective, the measure is available, but not the KPI (target, status, etc.). When Analyzing in Excel with the Summary perspective, the KPI is not available in the field list. When analyzing in Excel with the (default) perspective, the KPI is available.As far as I can tell, there is no way to select a KPI within the perspective window.Â
