I'm using SSAS 2005 cube as Data Source for my SSRS 2005 report. The report has parameters as well.
The requirement is that I want to pass parameters to the report using my own UI.
My questions are: 1. "How to pass parameters to my report using my UI?" I'm developing the UI using VS2003 (the client's requirement).
2. Is there any ReportViewer control available in Framework 1.x?
3. I'm also using a drilldown sub-report with the same report. I'm passing parameter values to the sub-report selecting the fields of my data. But when the sub-report is opened, it gives an error saying "The parameter 'X' is not assigned a value".
I have a measure in a SSAS cube that uses AggregateFunction "Sum". Dimension usage seems to be right so that it sums correctly.
But when I try to use same measure in SSRS report it comes out all wrong.
TO be precise the measure is called "CalendarDays" and it's the number of days in a month (28,29,30 or 31). Say I have 5 products and 4 years, If I look at this in the cube browser then the CalendarDays column aggregates correctly to 365 or 366 for each year even with the five products and 12 months in the rows.
However if I do a SSRS report by product and month with subtotals of years, then SUM(CalendarDays) adds up all the CalendarDays for each month and each product (ie 5 x 365 or 366). If I leave out "SUM" and just enter =Fields!CalendarDays in the subtotal then it doesn't aggregate at all, it jsut gives the first value (ie 31).
How can I get SSRS to aggregate the same way as the cube?
I've made my Cube having two language support - Japanese and English. For that I'm keeping two description columns relavent to language and mapping in dimenstion attribute translation. Till that it is fine. In SQL 2005 Analysis Services Browser it working very fine. But when I use this cube with SSRS, I've made Custom parameter for Language. And based on that I'm chaning Report.Language property for the selected language. It is working fine in case of Report Data. It is converting data in Japanese when I select Japanese Language and translating in English when I select English. But Problem is that Parameter's data is not chaning when I change the language. I supposed to that when I'm changing Report.Language to Japanese then Parameter's data should be changed in Japanese. Please help how it can be possible.
I have a vision of a beautifully interlocked Business Intelligence system in which I load dimensional fact tables through SSIS, build aggregations in SSAS cubes, and quickly and easily generate SSRS reports using the cubes as data marts.
I am now a month into trying to implement this vision and Reality is stomping all over it. Primarily, I am running into issues with the "cube as a data mart" idea. Each cube is taking up an additional gig or two of space, report queries against them seem to take longer than a straight SQL query against my fact tables, and I am running into serious problems trying to pass time-related calculations such as Year-To-Date to my reports.
Has anyone else tried setting up a BI system that uses cubes as the primary drivers for their reports? Have you seen any benefits to doing it that way? Or should I generate most of my reports through the SQL tables?
I'm nearing the point-of-no-return in choosing my final methodology, and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I'm doing a BI project and I already develop the DataWarehouse and the OLAP Cube. Next step are the creation of a report using SQL Server Reporting Services.
I am used to use a query from Data Warehouse as the DataSet to implement the report. Is usual ou benefit to use the cube directly on report as DataSource?
I would like to ask how can I create a subscription for a report that connects to Analysis Services?
I was able to create a subscription but the report's datasource is SQL Server 2005 using the built-in "sa" credential. But when I am connected to SSAS the option to use the SQL login is greyed out.
I'm sure what I am trying to do is very simple - but I just can't seem to figure it out. I have a report based on a SSAS cube (SQL 2005). The report shows sales based on the dates the user selects from the parameter field (the date parameter field comes from a Y-Q-M-D hierarchy). This all works fine.
What I would like to happen is for the members within the last 3 months to be automatically selected so that the report automatically executes for the last 3 months.
Can anyone help or offer any advice. If possible I would like to achieve this using the GUI features so that power users can use the "plug and pray interface".
Are Measure Expressions Supported in SSAS 2014 Standard Edition?In 2005 SSAS, I remember that Measure Expressions were not supported in the Standard Edition, only Enterprise Edition.
i would like to pose a question, when a user do a login in SSRS server,is it possible to pass the username to SSAS tabular, to implement security? I've tested using USERNAME() creating a role that relates USERNAME() with a dim user username, but now i need to implement it with the username used in SSRS server.
I would like to know best practices for setting up my environment. To date, I've had everything running on a single server. That would include the database engine, SSIS, SSAS and SSRS. The box configuration is dual hyperthreaded 3.6GHz Xenon with 4GB of RAM on Windows Server 2003. I just received a much larger server and want to configure it to maximize our environment. The new box contains four 2.6GHz Quad Core processors with 16GB of RAM. I would like to know if I should split the ETL and database engine from SSAS and SSRS, or should this box have enough horse power to house it all and use my other box as a dev environment. Also, we are planning to purchase Performance Point 2007 primarily for PAS and Scorecard Manager so please take that into consideration as well. Any comments are greatly appreciated.
Has anyone managed to crack getting multi-select parameters to work from an SSRS 2005 report which is querying an SSAS 2000 cube.
SSRS 2005 does support Multiselect, however SSRS 2000 did not. Given that i am querying an SSAS 2000 cube, i get the impression that i am also limited to SSRS 2000 functionality regarding to multi-select parameters.
Is there anyone out there that ever managed to get a wor around, say by using filters on a table or anything really that coud simulate the same behaviour....
A Fact table <<Company Revenue>> 2 Dimension <<Month.Dim>> , <<Company>>
I have 4 company say (A,B,C,D) but i have record for only company A & D that too only for December month .
When I create a SSRS report out of the cube i want a matrix where all the company names to be displayed in the rows & all the months in the columns and company's revenue in data
What my report is displaying :
Company | December ------------------------------------------------------- A | 20000 ------------------------------------------------------- D | 3900 -------------------------------------------------------
what is needed :
Company | January | February | March | ........... | December ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A | | | | | 20000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B | | | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C | | | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D | | | | | 3900 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have an SSRS report that gets its data from an SSAS cube, and it essentially displays a list of students and absences. Everything works fine.
But the users only want to see the top N students with the highest absences. For example, today they want to see the top 100, but during summer vacation, they only want to see the top 5.
Is there a way to add this parameter to the SSRS report? So if I select "5" from the dropdown parameter, it will show the top 5 absences.
The query that I use to populate the report is something simple:
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Absences] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Dim Date].[Date Key].[Date Key].ALLMEMBERS * [Dim Student].[Lte Cell Key].[Lte Cell Key].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@DimDateDateKey, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Daily Cube]) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
Is it possible to connect SSRS running on SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition (our production system) to a database running on SQL Server 2005 Developer's edition (our test system)
I am receiving the following error when I run the report builder query. I am able to successfully select the dimensions and measures that I am intrested in but when I run the report I get the error message.
The 'PerspectiveID' custom property for the 'query' perspective is either not set or is not set to the string data type. ---------------------------- Semantic query execution failed. ---------------------------- Query execution failed for data set 'dataSet'. ---------------------------- An error has occurred during report processing.
I am testing this against both Adventureworks standard and enterprise cubes. Additionality I saw a post in this forum http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=368962&SiteID=1 that seemed related but I am using reporting services in sharepoint integrated mode so I am having a hard time trying to troubleshoot this.
Good day community. I have a question about SQL Server 2005 Anywhere edition which i currently installed on my desktop. Does it fit my needs which stated on the subject? If no, what should i select for my projects?
I'm looking to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 (Standard Edition). I'm interested in using SSIS, SSRS and SSAS. I hear that BIDS runs inside of Visual Studio 2005, and comes with the SQL 2005 software. I currently have VS 2003. My question is: Do I need to purchase anything besides SQL Server 2005 Standard, or do I need to buy anything separately, like VS 2005? (if so, which version would you recommend?)
is subscription using E-mail delivery possible in SSRS developer edition? act in the option for "Delivered By" in "New Subscription", only "Windows file share" is coming....
Hello, I am having a difficult time with a complicated task. I have developed numerous SSRS reports for my application and want to deploy these reports with my application. The application uses SQL Express Edition with Advanced Services. I have written an installer to automate this process, but my problem is getting the SSRS reports that I developed on my server incorporated into the ReportServer database created during the install of SQL Express Edition with Advanced Services. I have read numerous good posts and articles regarding the rsconfig.exe and rskeymgmt.exe utilities, but I am having problems. The main problem seems to be dealing with the encryption key. I have done a restore of the ReportServer database using a backup of the ReportServer database I used to develop my SSRS reports. This worked well with the exception that I can't seem to get past an error message stating that reportiong services has not been initialized. Keep in mind, I need an automated way to do this. Anyway, I have tried using rskeymgmt to restore a backed up copy of the encryption file that I took from the server where I developed the reports. I get an error message that scale-out deployment is not supported in this version or something like that. I can't delete the encrypted data because then the connection information for my shared data source is deleted also. Again, please keep in mind I need all of this to occur behind the scenes during an install without end-user intervention.
Anyways, sorry for such a long post. I would appreciate any help anyone may be able to provide.
I would like to perform a procedure which takes a string of numbers and searches for strings in a table which include all the given numbers in any particular order. problem is i can only return strings which include 'any' of the letters in the search string and not 'all'.
this is how i perform it so far:
@IncludeNumbers VARCHAR(50)
AS BEGIN
SELECT Phone AS [Telephone Number]
FROM tbl_Person AS p
WHERE (p.Phone LIKE '%[' + @IncludeNumbers + ']%')
END
(ive removed some unecessary bits but this shows the basics)
As you can see currently it will return any phone numbers which contain any numbers given in the includeNumbers string, I would only like it to return phone numbers which contain all the numbers given in the includeNumbers string. is there any way to make it search for strings which include 'all' numbers given?
Does anyone know if SSRS2008 includes KPI's such that you can include them while working in Visual Studios? I've seen some "work arounds" posted but if 2008 includes them I'll just load that up and see.

i am trying to create a view but i keep getting the error 'View definition includes no output columns or no items in the FROM clause.'
below is the select statement that's the basis of my view. the explanation i got from the F1 help of enterprise manager was ... View definition includes no output columns or no items in the FROM clause. A view definition must have at least one table or table-structured object in the FROM clause, and must have at least one column in the select list. The view definition is missing one or both. Modify the view definition accordingly.
