Hi,
I created a cube with 4 calculated members. Data is ok within cube browser.
When building report in Excel with Pivot Table or with Analysis Services Excel AddIn, I can't have access to these 4 calculated members. I'm using a olap connexion.
What did I do wrong ?
Thanks a lot for ur suggestions.

Hi... I'm trying to make a calculated member but I want it at the last level only, with the others I want that shows the sum of the previus :confused: .... Somebody can help me????
I have a reporting services report that I'm creating from an Analysis Services cube. I created two calculated memebers. When I put either one of the calculated members in the report and try to render the query or generate the report, I get an error: Memory Error: Allocation Failure: Not enough storage is avaliable to process this command. I have 21 GB of hard drive space.
I have created a few calculated members under one dimension (meaning the parent dimension is not Measures, but other dimensions). It can be showed in the Analysis Manager, but cannot be displayed in MS Excel PivotTable (MS Office 2k, xp, even 2003). Is there any solution to display the calculated members (as with the dimension) in Excel PivotTable? vba code needed? service pack needed?
I've read the MSDN documentation about creating calculated members and states that we can only create session scope or query scope members.
I need to create a static calculated member, one that stays there until it's deletion... That is possibel using Analysis Services, but what about with MDX or DSO?
I have an analysis services 2005 cube with a lot of Calculated Members (for example I have a "Sales Volume in kg" and a "Sales Volume in squaremeters (m²)" and a calculated member "Sales Volume in g/m²" with (kg * 1000 / m²), and so on. This Measures should be shown with a hierarchical Product Dimension in which I can drilldown from a level1 to a level 4.
I can select them all with a MDX Query in the Data-part of reporting services. In the layout-part, I have a matrix-control which should show the values in the above form. The value-part of the matrix has the form "sum(field)". I know, it's not correct, I believe I should use "AVG(field)".
When I use non-calculated fields, all works ok. With calculated fields, I get the error
[rsAggregateOfMixedDataTypes] The Value expression for the textbox €˜textbox3€™ uses an aggregate function on data of varying data types. Aggregate functions other than First, Last, Previous, Count, and CountDistinct can only aggregate data of a single data type.
It's the same with sum and avg (as the error message tells me). But how can I use such fields in reporting services? My users wants a report with the product hierarchy vertical and the salews volume g/m² horizontal so that the values are correct on every level the drill in. In Excel, OWC or other analysis clients, it's no problem to do this, but I can't find a way, doing this in reporting services.
Hi, It's a long story i'll try to make short, I am running a MDX query through Integration Services, this query is very very memory intensive, so intensive I get a System.outofmemory error. The workaround for this was getting the data in smaller ranges. this works fine in Management Studio.
select { many measures and calculated members} on columns, [Cuenta].[Cuenta].&[1]: [Cuenta].[Cuenta].&[10000] on rows from DB WHERE [Tiempo].[Mes].&[2007-09-01T00:00:00] : [Tiempo].[Mes].&[2007-11-01T00:00:00]
Now, in Integration services the optimal way of running a MDX query should be through an OLEDB source, but as it's stated in many sites around the web there is an error that hasn't been fixed. So I moved to a Datareder which is much slower, but works... kind of... to get the whole data out of the cube I am getting it in ranges which I should change with parameters, but MDX doesn't support parameters so I have to change the whole query using an expression.
Finally the problem with this is that the query I am running is longer than 4000 characters which is the limit for an expression on integration services. Here is when someone told me to shrink my query by using named sets, and this is what i don't know how to do, is there any way of grouping all the calculated members I have created in one named set or something alike.
I created some calculated members for a dimension. They are set to be visible and when i connect to the cube itself I can see them with both Excel and ProClarity as clients. I added them to a couple perspectives (by checking their boxes down at the bottom of the Calculations list) and deployed. There were no errors or issues. However from both Excel and ProClarity I do not see the calculated members of the dimension.
I have a date dimension with structure/hierarchy (year - month - wkofmonth - day) & measure count
This works fine when I insert wkofmonth in columns & count in values but when I add another measure it duplicates per week
Product CountWk1(jan) CountWk2(jan) CountWk3(jan) CountWk4(jan)Â SalesVolume 1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 2Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1000
Is there something I can do on the structure & do 4 calculated members pending how many weeks in a month, is there a simpler way where the next measure does not calculate by columns field.
If calculated member for each week, how do I do this, any example code?
I'm working with the statistical functions Stdev and Median with calculated members. The only way I can get the "correct" answer is if I have a dimension at the same granularity as the Fact table (Actually it's a degenerate dimension of the FACT table itself). Otherwise it seems that the measure I'm using with Stdev returns results that are so wildly high, I think it must be acting on the SUM of the measure; because the measure itself is a Summed one. When I try to use the coordinates in the Stdev function, it seems like it is using the wrong set of data points :
stdev( ( [Date].[Date].[Date].members, [Parameter].[Parameter].[Parameter].members ), [Measures].[Value])Â returns answers in the thousands when it should be more like 2.5
When used with a query, there would only be a single date member and a specific parameter member. The total number of fact records is between 200 and 500 with values that range between 0 and 150. This is the version that gives me answers that resemble the total sum of the [Measures].[Value].
If I add the dimension that is essentially a row number from the fact table, it gives the right answer (slowly, but that will be a different post ....
Do anybody know if Analysis Services 2005 allows cashing (storing) calculated members ?
There is a cube in Analysis Services 2000 with a calculated member based on some running sums. The performance of MDXs is too slow because running summs are being recalculated for each member of time dimension on each call.
I think that caching calculated members might help me and hope that this feature exists in Analysis Services 2005 .
A very basic MDX question. Using the following from AdventureWorks as an example:
Code Snippet WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Big Cities] AS ( [Geography].[City].&[New York]&[NY] , [Measures].[Internet Order Count] ) SELECT [Measures].[Big Cities] ON COLUMNS , [Customer].[Total Children].Children ON ROWS FROM [Adventure Works]
How would I re-write the [Measures].[Big Cities] calculated member so it included both [Geography].[City].&[New York]&[NY] and [Geography].[City].&[Los Angeles]&[CA]? Assuming there is no logical connection between these members, and that they are non-contiguous. Also, in my real example, I cannot move [Measures].[Internet Order Count] to the WHERE clause, it must remain within the calculated member.
The relationship between state and sales region is n:1, i.e. one state belongs to exactly one sales region, and one sales region can consists of one or multiple states.  Unfortunatly I can't define this attribute relationsship in the dimension because it would lead to a diamond-shaped relationsship without a user-defined-hierarchy to back it up. So far that isn't much of a problem, user don't drill down from sales region to state. But now I want to define a calculated member that multiplies a measure from the main measure group with another measure from a weighting factor measure group at the state level and above. The granularity attribute of the geography dimension in the dimension usage tab of the weighting factor measuregroup is the state.Â
So far what I've got is:
CREATE MEMBER Currentcube.Measures.[weighted measure state and above] AS NULL; SCOPE (Measures.[weighted measure state and above], Descendants(geography.[political territory].[all member],3,SELF_AND_BEFORE), Descendants(geography.[salesterritory].[all member],2,SELF_AND_BEFORE), ... Descendants(geography.[hierarchy 9].[all member],1,SELF_AND_BEFORE)); this = sum(existing(geography.[political territory].state.members), measures.[main measure group measure] * measures.[weighting measure group measure]);END SCOPE;
This works from a functional point of view, but is rather slow when querying any other hierarchy than the political territory hierarchy, because SSAS first goes down from the state level to the key attribute of the geography dimension, and then aggregates from there to the sales region.In other words, I want SSAS to resolve the relationsship (which state belongs to which sales region) through the dimension, and not through the fact, and apply the calculation afterwards. Like some kind of currency conversion, but only from a certain level upwards.
TRANAMT being the amount paid & TOTBAL being the balance due per the NAMEID & RMPROPID specified.The other table includes a breakdown of the total balance, in a manner of speaking, by charge code (thru a SUM(OPENAMT) query of DISTINCT CHGCODE
Also with a remaining balance (per CHGCODE) column. Any alternative solution that would effectively split the TABLE1.TRANAMT up into the respective TABLE2.CHGCODE balances? Either way, I can't figure out how to word the queries.
In SQL7 you can use a wizard to export database to access or excel. Any known scripts or procedures? I need to give the data in one of these formats so it can be massaged into Oracle by our Oracle vendor. Any help or referals will be greatly appreciated.
Hi,I have one form in access application which shows various fields fromthe database. The fields are like No of PCs a client has,No ofemployees,revenue etc.Need of the user is to filter the data on the form and export theresults.I am using a Qury as the base for this form.Can I do it easily or ineed to write the code to do this.Secondly can I provide a separate interface to allow user to Query andextract the data.Say, PC between <SomeRange> AND/ ORRevenue Between <Some Range>whatever result comes will be exported to the Excel file.Please tell me if you have any solution.Thanks in Advance.Rohit--Posted using the http://www.dbforumz.com interface, at author's requestArticles individually checked for conformance to usenet standardsTopic URL: http://www.dbforumz.com/General-Dis...pict241673.htmlVisit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

I am trying to import a table from Access and/or Excel. I have attempted with both programs. I get errors possibly due to some bad data over the years. Is it possible to tell SQL Server to import a table and discard any errors? or is there a way to scrub the data before importing to make sure all possible causes of errors are corrected or addressed?
hi, my company needs to import 3 access or excel ,customer order table, into ms sql database daily.orders(basic customer info), items(product info and quanity), options (options of quantity). The problem is that 3 table has to get additional column when it is imported into sql. For example, when an order comes in its intranet application, it will keep track if it is in stock or out of stock checking the product table. those 2 databases ms sql and access or excel has identical columns but sql one has more in addition . This is my first time to work this kind of case and if somebody could give me a abstract step or suggestions to accomplish this.I'll be very happy;)
Hi, I have some tables in an ACCESS database, and would like to recreate them in a SQL2005 databse.How may this be done?I am able to create a Data Component with the ACCESS mdb file. Likewise, how may I convert EXCEL data to SQL2005 table?Thanks. David
I'm trying to access Excel file from SQL Server management studio using OPENROWSET using the below query but getting the error listed below.
Query: SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 'Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;Database=E:TestFilesExcelFile.xlsx', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]' )

Hello, I'm using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. I'm having an issues when exporting to Excel. I'm using URL Access to generate the report and display it in a browser window. I then choose Excel and click the Export link. Doing this opens a temporary browser window and then a dialog that asks if I want to save the report or open it. If I choose to open it, the report opens in Excel without problem. The problem is that the temporary browser window doesn't go away (close) automatically like it should. What makes this a little more strange is that this behavior only seem to occur on a Windows XP computer. If I run the report from a Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 computer, the temporary browser windows closes automatically (and the report is exported to Excel and opened).
Has anyone experienced this same issue?
Does anyone know how to "fix" this issue so that exporting to open right away always closes the temporary browser window?
I set up an Excel spreadsheet for several users that queries a SQL Server. I provided the spreadsheet to the users and set it to refresh when ever it is open. The query is working fine. The problem is the users are prompted with a SQL Server login screen every time they open the file. The login screen shows the server name, the username and the password. All they have to do is press 'OK' and the screen goes away. Why are they being prompted with this screen? What can I do to eliminate the users from even seeing this window?
I also receive this window whenever I open the file and I created it on the workstation where i'm opening it.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this, but was as close as I could get. I am an amateur stumbling thru this to "learn by doing". I am trying to set up an access front end for a SQLExpress database, currently all local for experimenting. Trying to import Excel data to a table in the database, using Access "get external data" function. I get errors and the data wont import. Error message won't give me a clue to what is wrong. All fields are named the same. If I convert the excel to a csv or tab delineated, it imports correctly. Just not the excel. Any ideas?
I do not know if you can see my reply after yours. Any way I try it here again.
In the DTS Export Wizard, after select the source (SQL Server)and destination (Excel), I have 2 choices:Table copy or query.
When I use query, I can place my sp there, and the export works fine exactly as you recommended. Thanks a lot.
But when I selected a table copy, I was given a "Select Source Tables" popup form, I can see all the table names there, but can not find any views in the database. I do not know why. Am I in the right place this time?
Hi everyone. I have a problem with an append query runing from a small Access database and would very much appreciate some input.
The append query from Access is as follows:
INSERT INTO TransferTable ( Name, Surname, Company, Address1, Address2, [Town/City], County, PostCode, Phone, Fax, Email, [Client type] ) SELECT [Clients].[Name], [Clients].[Surname], [Clients].[Company], [Clients].[Address 1], [Clients].[Address 2], [Clients].[Town/City], [Clients].[County], [Clients].[Post Code], [Clients].[PhoneNumber], [Clients].[FaxNumber], [Clients].[Email Address], [Clients].[ClientType] FROM Clients WHERE [Name]=[Forms]![Client Form]!Name;
This works up to a point. What it does is send the selected data to the TransferTable which is a link table to a sheet in an Excel workbook.
So far so good.
Each time the query is run though, it inserts the selectd data on the line below the previous run, even if the information that was inserted last time was not saved. So on the first run the query will drop the desired information into row A2 of the TransferTable, then even if that is deleted and the changes to the workbook are not saved, the next time the query is run it goes down to row A3, then A4 and so on. no doubt this is the exact point of an append query, but it's really aggravating me.
What I'd like is a query that will get the data into the same row of the TransferTable each time it is run, since another sheet in the Excel workbook runs some calculations based on the data held in the cells of the TransferTable sheet.
I've tried the SQL editor in Excel, but my very limited knowledge has left me completely frustrated. Does anyone have any ideas how I can achieve this outcome before I go completely nuts ?
I don't mind if the query runs from Excel or Access.
Please advise which kind of connection should be establish from excel 95 to MS SQL Server.
From my thought, I understand that the connection depends on Windows version rather than excel version. Thus, I just think that there will not be any issue connecting to SQL Server from Excel 5.0a.
Kindly advise if there is any addtional point to concern/consider further. What could be issue connecting to SQL Server 2005 from Excel 5.0a.
Does anyone know the method to transfer result data of a view or stored procedure in MS SQL 7.0 to MS Access or Excel , Manually or automatically? I did not find the right tool in SQL 7 to do so.
I notice we can transfer table from SQL 7 to MS Access / Excel through DTS. But did not find any tool/menu to transfer result of view / stored procedure.
I am new to SQL 7. Maybe this is a silly ?. Any help will be appreciated.
