Missing Dimension Member During Fact Load
Aug 15, 2007
I'm putting together a Kimball method SSIS package. My factSales table has an OrderRep key. If a match isn't found in the dimRep table I am inserting a dummy dimRep row and going on. That seems to be working.
My question is what do I do when the OLTP sales row has NULL for the OrderRep. This is possible; every sale does not have to have an order rep. My package is seeing that as a non match and trying to create a dummy row in the dimRep table for every NULL. I really don't want to do this. I can trap for the NULL rep and convert it to "unknown" or something but then the program would still create a single row in the dimRep table for unknown. Is that the best way to handle this? Or is there a way to trap for NULL and ignore the entire lookup process? A conditional split before every key lookup?
I have about 5 or 6 other dimension tables that will have the same NULL possibility.
Thanks.

Calculated Member Based On Dimension Attribute ??
May 21, 2008hi all,
I was wondering if it is possible in SSAS 2005 that a calculated member is based off of an (integer) dimension attribute and another (integer) measure (let's say a multiplication operation) ?
If there a trick on doing so? other than stuffing the (integer) dimension attribute back in the fact table, as an measure?
thx much,

MDX To Build Calculated Dimension Member Throughout User Hierarchy
May 20, 2008
I want an MDX calculated dimension member, (with no measure specified in expression, so that any related measure can be used in a query/browse), and that accomplishes either one of the following:
Ideal: To calculate Median values on every level of a user hierarchy
If "Ideal" is not possible, then "Acceptable" is: To calculates Median values on one or more levels OTHER than the highest level.
Analysis :: How To Change The Member Names Of Time Dimension
Oct 19, 2015<SQL Server 2008 R2>
I created a Time table using BIS. I found that the default naming of time members is too long and redundant.
For example, the wizard generated "Fiscal Calendar 2015", "Fiscal Quarter 1, 2015", etc. However, shorter expression like "FY2015", "FQ1 2015", etc would be enough for me.Â
Is it possible to change the default naming rule, or does SSAS works correctly if I update the Time table values using SQL?

Simple MDX Query: Multiple Non-Contiguous Members From Same Dimension In Calculated Member
May 28, 2008Hi
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.
Thanks,
Julia.
Analysis :: How To Get Distinct List Of Member Values For Month Numbers From Date Dimension
Sep 10, 2015Have a need to let the user select the year and month to use for filtering results from an MDX query that populates a report.I think all I should need is a list of years and a Month name / number.What would the filter look like if say I had a Date dimension that included the year number in a 4-digit and month in a 2-digit number? In TSQL it would be something like ... where Month = @month AND Year = @year...How do I get a distinct list of member values for the month numbers from the Date dimension?

Apr 13, 2008I am trying to CREATE a member in a file on the AS400 using SQL. The member name is a variable and will change everytime the Insert command is issued. I have tried using the Alias command, but I am either doing something wrong, or it is not meant to be used to create a member that had not existed prior to the Alias statement.
On the As400, the command to add a member is ADDPFM. Then an Override Data base file command (OVRDBF) is issued to point to the right member.

Need Help To Create My Time Dimension
Mar 30, 2004Hi,
I have a fact table which contains the transaction date, ProductID, QTySold, TotalSaleAmount, etc...
Since I am new to OLAP therefore I need help to now create the table for TIME on which I will be basing my time dimension... I have read a few articles and have gathered that at the end of the exercise my fact table should have a 'timeid' column which will be linked to the same column in the table being used for the time dimension...
I have gone through the tutorial of MS-Analysis Service and FoodMart example have some idea about what he structure of this table will be.
My questions are:
1. I need guidance on how to create the table for time. One option is to just copy the table used in the Foodmart example but thought that might work but my concept will not be clear
2. The structure of the table to be used for time dimension is quite clear (i think this part is easy). What I want to understand is that how do i POPULATE this table which data? Can some one provide me with scripts, SPs, or whatever to do this.... This is the area where I am lost...
3. How will I enter the "TheDate" column in my fact table and link it with my table for time dimension...
Looking forward to someone's help.
BTW, I would like to share a very good article which i recently found in one of the newsgroups. Some of you might like appreciate it too:

Create Or Drop Dimension Members

I am Srinivas working on SSAS 2005. I am not able to create or drop dimension members. I need to drop and create all members in one dimension before cube processing, as the columns are coming dynamically.
E.g. ALTER CUBE [Reporting] DROP DIMENSION MEMBER [Tbl Analysis Test].[Name]
Here cube is [Reporting] , dimension is [Tbl Analysis Test] and member is [Name].
Its giving the following error " Parsing the query ... Query (1, 46) The member '[Name]' was not found in the cube when the string, [Tbl Analysis Test].[Name], was parsed. Parsing complete"
Please look into this issue, advice me what do I do ASAP.

Do We Always Have To Create Name Calculation For Role-playing Dimension?
Jul 10, 2007Hi, dear friends,
Just found that I am not able to ignore the name column property for role-palying dimension even though I only select one of the key columns for this dimension in the mining structure where the role-playing dimension is used? E.g I have a fact table (which is the case table for the mining structure) which is related to the role-playing date dimension. The schema is as following:
Dim_event_day_time_key
Dim_carrier_day_time_key
Dim_domain_day_time_key
.....................................
and other attibutes in the fact table.
When I dragged the 'hours' attribute from the dim_day_time table to the mining structure, if I left the key columns of 'Hours' as the above 3 columns, then I have to select a name column, by then I dont have a name column in the dimension table yet. Therefore I want to jsut select one key column as the key of that role-playing dimension in the mining structure, but then I am not able to ignore the 'name column' property as it still always asks me to select the 'name column' for that.
Therefore my question is: we are not allowed to select only one key columns in the mining structure for the role-playing dimension? And we will have to always go to the data source view to create a named calculation as the new column for the role-playing dimension?
Hope my question is clear for your advices and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
Thanks a lot in advance.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

Power Pivot :: Date Dimension - Create A List Of Months
Jul 21, 2015I need to create a date dimension where the lowest level is month. I've seen examples which use the list function such as
Source = List.Dates(#date(2000, 1, 1), Duration.Days(DateTime.Date(DateTime.FixedLocalNow())-#date(2000,1,1)), #duration(1,0,0,0)),
The above increments by 1 day which is defined in the 1st argument of the #duration. My question is how can I dynamically change the value of this 1st argument such that its the number of days in the current month hence it will increment to only return the 1st date in the Month e.g
1/1/2000
1/2/2000
1/3/2000
etc..
I prefer to use an elegant approach if possible, the alternative would be return all dates, create a custom column from these dates which returns the month date - delete the dates column - get a distinct list of the month dates.
Create A Yesterday, This Week, Last Week Calculated Member
May 23, 2007Hi all,
I'd like to add a yesterday dimension member to a new dimension, like a "Time Utility" dimension, that references the second last day of non empty data in a cube.
At the moment, I'm doing this:
Code Snippet
create member [MIA DW].[DATE TIME].[Date].[Yesterday]
as [DATE TIME].[Date].&[2007-01-01T00:00:00]
select [Measures].members on 0,
non empty [DATE TIME].[Date].members on 1
from [MIA DW]
But the [yesterday] member does not seem to belong to [DATE TIME].[Date].members?
So I guess there's two questions:
1) Can I have a new empty dimension which contains all these special members like "Yesterday" or "This Week" and "Last Week" (these last two obviously refer to a set of Dates)
2)How come the Yesterday member is not returned by the .members function?
Thanks

Power Pivot :: Create Measure Within Date Dimension Table To Sum Single Entry Per Month Eliminating Duplicates
Jul 27, 2015We are trying to do some utilization calculations that need to factor in a given number of holiday hours per month.
I have a date dimension table (dimdate). Has a row for every day of every year (2006-2015)
I have a work entry fact table (timedetail). Has a row for every work entry. Each row has a worked date, and this column has a relationship to dimdate.
Our holidays fluctuate, and we offer floating holidays that our staff get to pick. So we cannot hard code which individual dates in dimdate as holidays. So what we have done is added a column to our dimdate table called HolidayHoursPerMonth.Â
This column will list the number of holiday hours available in the given month that the individual date happens to fall within, thus there are a lot of duplicates. Below is a brief example of dimdate. In the example below, there are 0 holiday hours for the month of June, and their are 8 holiday hours for the month of July.
DateKey MonthNumber HolidayHoursPerMonth
6/29/2015 6 0
6/30/2015 6 0
7/1/2015 7 8
7/2/2015 7 8
I have a pivot table create based of the fact table. I then have various date slicers from the dimension table (i.e. year, month). If I simply drag this column into the pivot table and summarize by MAX it works when you are sliced on a single month, but breaks if anything but a single month is sliced on. Â
I am trying to create a measure that calculates the amount of holiday hours based on the what's sliced, but only using a single value for each month. For example July should just be 8, not 8 x #of days in the month.Â
Listed below is how many hours per month. So if you were to slice on an entire year, the measure should equal 64. If you sliced on Jan, Feb and March, the measure should equal 12. If you were to slice nothing, thus including all 15 years in our dimdate table, the measure should equal 640 (10 years x 64 hours per year).
MonthNumberOfYear HolidayHoursPerMonth
1 8
2 4
3 0
4 0
5 8
6 0
7 8
8 0
9 8
10 4
11 16

Create Dimension Table From Fact Table!!
Mar 16, 2007I have picked an exmple from this forum, to help me explain my current problem...
"I'm looking for a solution to import data from a flat file into an normalized data modell. To explain it a little simpler think about to following:
The Data Souce is a CSV-File with FirstName, LastName and Category. Sample data could be
Dirk; Bauer; sailing
Peter; Bauer; fishing
Marc; Bauer; reading
In my data modell I have defined the 2 tables "Person" and "Category":
Table "Person"
----------------
[PersonID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL
[CategoryID] [int] NOT NULL
[FirstName] [nvarchar](50)
[LastName] [nvarchar](50)
Table "Category"
----------------
[CategoryID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL
[CategoryName] [nvarchar](50)
Now I like to read my first row from the source and lookup a value for the CategoryID "sailing". As my data tables are empty right now, the lookup is not able to read a value for "sailing". Now I like to insert a new row in the table "Category" for the value "sailing" and receive the new "CategoryID" to insert my values in the table "Person" INCLUDING the new "CategoryID".
I think this is a normal way of reading data from a source and performing some lookups. In my "real world" scenario I have to lookup about 20 foreign keys before I'm able to insert the row read from the flat file source.
I really can't belief that this is a "special" case and I also can't belief that there is no easy and simple way to solve this with SSIS. Ok, the solution from Thomas is working but it is a very complex solution for this small problem. So, any help would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Dirk"

Both Time Dimensions are Year -> Month -> Day and have the same Members.
I have every option available, using calculated Members and/or Measures to do this.
