Hello all, I´m a beginner on AS2005 (but I know pretty well AS2000), I migrated a cube from AS2000 to AS2005 but in this cube I have a Custom Rollup Formula on two levels of my Time dimension (month and week), an example of the week level formula is the next:
iif( [Time].CurrentMember.Name = [Time].CurrentMember.NextMember.Name,
null,
iif( [Time].CurrentMember.Name = [Time].CurrentMember.PrevMember.Name,
Sum({[Time].CurrentMember.Children,[Time].CurrentMember.PrevMember.Children}),
Sum([Time].CurrentMember.Children)
)
)
<<this formula overrides the week aggregations>>
and I really need this but I cannot find on AS2005 where to do the same thing, someone can tell me where can I define Custom Rollup Formulas and how?.
Thanks in advance!
Any working example of what a ragged hierarchy should look like for the unary and custom rollup calcs to work?
I have a parent-child hierarchy that works as expected but can't manage to get the same with a flattened ragged hierarchy. Parents disappear if any of the children aren't in the fact table (even though the children are set to '~' and the parent has its own custom rollup calc).
Do I need to replicate the unary and measure formula all the way to the end in the same way i do the member name/value (so i can set ignore if same as parent)? Setting unary to null seems to work when the key doesnt exist in the fact table but the default behaviour for null is '+' so i end up getting wrong results if the key does exist!

In words
I have an EAV style fact table. The measure name is defined in a 'dim measure' table. Some measures exist in the fact, some are manufactured using Unary ops or custom rollup formulas.
Here's a diagram of the hierarchy
I want to recreate the functionality as a flattened hierarchy (the number of levels is fixed), but can't seem to do it... Here's what I've gotten for the same hierarchy created using the two different approaches
Below are queries to recreate the tables from adventureworksdw2014. The parent child hierarchy is set up the standard way... measureparentkey is parent. set name, unary and formula as expected. Set NonLeafDataHidden for the parent attribute. I've tried various combinations for the ragged hierarchy but none work 100% of the time. I want to have a user defined hierarchy for the performance benefits.
--Fact view CREATE View dbo.FactSales AS select fis.ProductKey , fis.OrderDateKey , 1 AS MeasureKey -- salesAmount , fis.SalesAmount AS MeasureValue
im moving over from a crystal background, in crystal i was able to create custom formulaes and use them somewhere in the report, can this be done in RS, if so how?
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?
Hello, I have a problem when trying to fully process an SSAS database using Integration Services "Analysis Services Processing Task" task. I have 2 of these tasks which are responsible for processing the Dimensions then the Cubes. When I run the package either via the BIDS environment or on the local server from the Integration Services engine, I will get an error after about 20 minutes stating:
"Error: Memory Error: Allocation failure. Not enough storage is available to process this command""Error: Errors in the metadata manager. An error occurred when loading the <cube name> cube from the file \?D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2OLAPDataMyWarehouse<cube file>.xml"
The cube name is not specific, it will fail and any of my cubes could be in the error log
If I fully process the AS database using the AS engine (logon to local AS server, right-click AS database and click Process), I get no errors at all, it processes and completes fine. The processing options are identical when I run in AS or via the SSIS "Analysis Services Processing Task" task.
I've searched quite a lot online but no joy, the information I have gleaned from various sites does not directly link SSIS with SSAS processing problems.
When either the AS processing starts via SSAS or SSIS the memory usage of MSMDSRV.exe increases to around 1.4 / 1.5 GB but never goes to 2GB ever, even when the error appears.
I've done the following with no effect.
" Have run via AS and works fine " No specific cube it fails on " Have created a Dimension only package, same problem " Changed the maxmemorylimit " Changed the connections to localhost " Memory DOES NOT max out on server

I'm trying to create reports in RS2005 using AS2000 as my data source. I understand that if I use RS2005 on AS2000, I wont be able to enjoy the OLAP based parameters as in using AS2005. Does anyone know an easy way to easily use Parameters in RS2005 while still using AS2000?
i have a small problem with the data sources in the reporting services, maybe you can clarify the situation... I have a MS CRM 3 solution with the reporting services 2005 installed. From an other vendor we have a arcplan solution on the 2000 analysis services. I would like to get access from the 2005 reporting services to the 2000 cube. Is this possible? Ive read that the SSMS cant connect to the 2000 cubes. Can i connect from the reporting services??
I need to have a report that will have formulas in excel. I understand that the limited support for exporting excel formulas has been dropped in SSRS 2008. Is there any way to work around this and still output formulas?obvioulsy the way to do it in previous versions of SSRS are not working (using report items). I tried to add my formulas in my dataset (I can know which excel cells I need in the formulas) but they end up being displayed as text. I then have to get in the excel file and enter and exit each cell so that it "becomes" a formula.
I have SQL 2005 SP1 already installed and I am trying simply to add Analysis Services in without screwing anything up.
I re-run setup from the original CD, but then I receive the following warning:
To change an existing instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to a different edition of SQL Server 2005, you must run SQL Server 2005 Setup from the command prompt and include the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter.
Can I safely continue with the installation and just check Analysis Services since it is just a warning? And after the install re-run SQL 2005 SP1 or is there a way to add this from the SP1 installation files, please help.
I have been geting an error every once in a while shown below:
OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (recv()).]General network error. Check your network documentation.; 08S01.
I look at other messages here and found people that say it is a network communication problem, but I am runing Analysis Services and SQL 2005 on the same box. Can anyone help with this?
Will Analysis Services 2005 work against a SQL Server 2000 database without SQL Server 2005 installed? Does Analysis Services 2005 require SQL Server 2005?
I have a data-centric application using SQL Server 2000. Personally, as a developer, I would love to upgrade to SQL Server 2005, but that's really not an option for another year or so for business reasons outside of my control.
I would like to add an Analysis Services cube based reporting system on top of my existing relational database. I've heard Analysis Services 2005 is much improved over 2000 and would really like to use that. Is this at all possible?
I've also heard of problems when installing SQL Server 2005 on the same system as SQL Server 2000. This makes testing the waters very difficult for me as I'd have to use a completely separate dev system.
I need to calculate the average of an existing measure of my cube. The measure is PA_Salaire from a column of my fact table. I would like to calculate an average i could use with all the dimensions of my cube but i think i can only create one linked to a single dimension. Is that true ?
I dont really understand the way i should write my request. Here is what i did: (Manager is one of my dimensions, it has a parent child relation... is that a problem? does it change the way i should do?)
I have a complex scenario , so first I want to ask out the feasibility of it . I think its better if I state the scenario and some one on this forum reply to it , I need to build an application (e.g credit card application , Loan Application etc ) that requires some approval from expert , what I firstly want is that I apply datamining on this data so that next time when I enter the data the result (approval or reject ) should be given by datamining tool , this I gather is poosible by using Analysis Services in SQL 2005 , but I also want the bases of that decision ( I mean the rules/some thing else that the Datamining created agaisnt the data entered ) , So can any one do any help on this , you can also reach me at razi_rais@yahoo.com . its preety much urgent so your prompt response is higly appreciated.
I have the next problem: i have MS sql server 2005 installed in a server. We have some olap cubes in the server deployed with analysis services 2005. When we try to connect to the analysis server from a client pc using pivot tables we obtain this error: "Errors in network layers. Error code=0XC10D0009, External code=0x00000000" The client pc has panda antivirus (corporate) with true prevent When i unisnstall it, we can connect to the analysis server and to the cube normally and when we install the antivirus again (without true prevent and with the minimun options) the problem starts again and we can't conect to the analysis server. Anybody had a similar problem? Anybody knows a solution for it? Thanks Jose coormx@yahoo.com.mx
I made an analysis services project but I can't deploy it because it can't find the server I search for the analysis service in the Service Control Manager but I can't find it. Is it possible to download and install it with this version of sql server (workgroup) ?
Hi experts,having a parent-child-table with the columns child_id, child_name, parent_idin SQL Server 2005 I just cannot create a parent-child dimension in BI DevStudio. Can anyone give me some hints? The Dim Build wizard doesn't createthe hierarchies, manually setting "parent" property to parent_id and "key"to child_id as well as dragging and dropping the stuff into the hierachyfield haven't just led to success. I also tried to right-click bothparent_id and child_id to create a member property. It just never workedout.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Kind regards,Joerg
I've been trying to use Analysis Services 2005 Cube as a data source, query it via MDX and then use the data returned elsewhere in SSIS.
However, I've been unable to get this working and can't find any information regarding how this can be done. Surely it should be possible when I can get this working even in Excel?
I've looked in December edition of BOL and no luck - have also sent a feedback to BOL regarding this and have been told that "it should be possible, since there is a way to send SQL queries to AS." However the person I was speaking with knew of no one who had actually tried this scenario and to try posting here.
Any help as to how to get this done would be greatly appreciated.
I've got a RS2000 report from Analysis services 2000. This report is working fine but after the upgrade to SQL2K5, i'm having issues with changes to parameters.
Basically i'm passing DateQuarter, CustomersLevel as parameters to the following mdx script. I've tried to change mdx script in RS2005 but no luck yet. I don't much about the parameter level changes in sql2k5. So can anyone suggest what is wrong in the script.
In sql2000 the script looks like this...
="with " & "member [Measures].[Ex Price] as 'coalesceempty([Measures].[Ex Price After Trade Discount - Detail],0.00)' " & "Member [Measures].[CustomerUniqueName] as '[Customers By Class].currentmember.UniqueName' " & "Member [Measures].[CustomerDisplayName] as '[Customers By Class].Currentmember.Name' " & "SELECT " & "{[Measures].[CustomerUniqueName],[Measures].[CustomerDisplayName]} on Columns, " & "filter({descendants(" & Parameters!CustomerClass.value & ", [Customers by Class].[" & Parameters!CustomersLevel.value & "], SELF)}, " & " [Measures].[Ex Price] > 0) on rows " & "from Sales "
i've changed the script in sql2005 but not working yet..
with member [Measures].[Ex Price] as 'coalesceempty([Measures].[Ex Price After Trade Discount - Detail],0.00)' Member [Measures].[CustomerUniqueName] as '[Customers By Class].currentmember.UniqueName' Member [Measures].[CustomerDisplayName] as '[Customers By Class].Currentmember.Name'
SELECT {[Measures].[CustomerUniqueName],[Measures].[CustomerDisplayName]} on Columns, filter({descendants( STRTOMEMBER(@CustomerClass), "[Customer Class]." + STRTOMEMBER(@CustomersLevel), SELF)}, [Measures].[Ex Price] > 0) on rows from Sales
I read that this sample is included, however when I install the samples the other three are in the "Extension Samples" directory but the "Custom Report Item Sample" is missing. Can anybody please tell me where I can find it?
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 rather dumb question but I've installed an evaluation copy of SQL 2005 on my machine and a colleague would like the Analysis Services Data Mining capability on his machine (without the eval SQL Server).
Is there a license associated with such an installation when we buy 2005 or does it fall under client components which can be installed on any number of users machines?
I'm trying to add a custom report format to ssrs 2005 as per this [URL] I've added the code snippets in the example to three different ssrs 2005 server RSReportServer.config files but it does not work i.e do not show up in the export drop down when rendering report.
I've tried starting and stopping reporting services and it still does not works.
I've also modified the existing csv extension  with different options to see if it works but to no avail.However it works with SSRS2008 R2 . In fact it works right after I saved the config file, no restart needed.For SSRS2005 the file is in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServer. I checked the registry setting  just to make sure I'm looking at the correct installation 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', 'SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsClientSetup', 'SQLPath' The three ssrs2005 instances are in three different physical servers and the problem is with all of them so it is not an isolated incident. I've dbowner rights to all three servers. The server versions are 9.0.4060, 9.0.4035 and 9.0.4053
Hello,Can I import an OLTP (Reltional DB) as a Data Source into SQL ServerAnalysis Services 2005 and then use the Cube Wizard and the new DataSource View feature to create the OLAP model ?Or do I have to first design an OLAP Data Warehouse with a Star Schemaand then import this DW as a Data Source into my Analysis ServicesProject.With SQL Server 2000 , OLAP would be the way to go..but with SQLServer 2005 , it seems as though the wizard and data source viewfeatures do half the work for you.I have an OLTP DB and am not sure which route I should take ! Anysuggestions / input would be much appreciated.Thanks in Advance...RegardsRusszee
I am using sql server 2005 standard edition and i have installed MSXML core services 6 and also ADOMD.net for analysis services. i am using visual studio 2005 version of 8.0.5072742 and the problem that i am facing is when i use to develop reports using Analysis services as a data source , the error message pops up and VS 2005 gets crashed.
i could define the dataset , layout part and when i prees the preview , it gets crashed. could any one help me on this problem to sort out.
I'm looking for a new way to publish reports based on OLAP data and was very disappointed to find that Reporting Services does not natively support displaying MDX query results in a matrix. While it is possible to assign an MDX query to the matrix control in Reporting Services, the two main problems are that the columns of the query must be measures (not dimensions), and it does not support display of server based formatting (fore color, back color, and font flags).
Does anyone know of any custom control that properly deals with Analysis Services data?
I installed the SQL Server 2005 SP2 update 2 rollup on my 64-bitserver and the performance has tanked!I installed rollup 3 on some of them, but that did not seem to help.I thought it was just a linked server performance issue, but myoptimization started running today on one of the "update 2" instancesand so far it's been running about 10 hours longer than it normallydoes.The rollup 3 fixed our stack dumping issues, but we NEED to have thisperformance thing fixed!I saw that MS has come out with update 4 last week - doesn't sayanything about fixing this, though.Has anyone else experienced this?I'm not necessarily expecting anyone to have a fix for this, justwantto know I'm looking in the right place before I call MS.
