Do We Always Have To Create Name Calculation For Role-playing Dimension?

Jul 10, 2007

Hi, 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,

Analysis :: Role Playing Dimension Among Multiple Fact Tables

Oct 28, 2015

I am modelling cube in SSAS. Cube has around 20 dimensions and 6 fact tables. Some of the dimensions are common among the fact tables. e.g. Time dimension. Fact_PNL has 3 date columns for those we have 3 role playing dimensions in the dimension usages.

Another fact table has 5 date columns for them as well we have separate role playing dimensions in dimension usage tab. We have a common dimension Company which is foreign key in all fact tables. We might need to combine the data from multiple facts to get final output.

Should i create 6 role playing dimension for each of the fact table or use the same dimension for all fact tables?

Role playing dimensions should be created when we have multiple columns pointing to the same dimension ?

Dimension Usage Icons Playing Up

May 29, 2008

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had come across an issue where the icons in the dimension usage tab of the cube are not being displayed properly, for example if you use a many-to-many the little blue infinity sign is missing. It is a little annoying.

SP2 with BIDS helper, not to sure if BIDS helper did it or SP2, sure it was fine before

Anyone know how to fix it?

Cheers

Analysis :: Calculation Based On Dimension Value

Oct 8, 2015

Need to resolve this calculation, which I would believe is something very common on SSAS environments. 

Like many companies, my company has different ways of calculating Sales and the two I want to focus are Sales Gross and Sales Net. 

At a high level, we calculate Sales Gross as Sales with returns, and Sales Net as Sales without returns.

We have an attribute called Order Type that has various types of orders a user can execute with my company. One of them is Returns. If you return something back to us, we record that as a return line on the sales table. With that, we can calculate that return, breaking data down by Order Type, such as:

Order Type Line Total

Mail Orders $ 776,655.44

Internet Orders $ 2,211,334.00

Call Center Orders $ 11,223,344.00

Credit Orders  $ (55,666.00)

Today, to calculate Sales Gross and Sales Net, we are creating two dimensions: DimSalesGross and DimSalesNet. 

To calculate Sales Gross, we leave the data at the natural state, not making any changes to mappings. 

To calculate Sales Net, we map Credit Orders to Call Center Orders at the ETL level, getting a Net value for sales (Orders - Returns), however, I doubt this is the correct way of doing. 

I would like to have a Line Total Net / Line Total Gross calculation, which would be based on the Order Type value.

Perhaps using a CASE statement in MDX? Is the above possible?

Need Help To Create My Time Dimension

Mar 30, 2004

Hi,

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:

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.

SP Error When Trying To Create User And Assign A Role

Aug 23, 2002

I get the following errors associated with trying to create an SP.

Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Procedure AddFortuneUser, Line 8
Line 8: Incorrect syntax near '@newuser'.
Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Line 1
Must declare the variable '@newuser'.

Can anyone explain why I have to do a declare.
I suspect I have to issue "declare @newuser sysname" somewhere but I'm not sure why.

The following is the code I'm trying to run.
My intent would be to create a form for the Admin Clerk that would call this SP. That way they can create a generic login. They have an application that allows them to change the password after the fact.
/*
Created for Admin person to allow them to add a basic SQL Login Account
forcing the user to be a member of a specific role 'helmsman'
in a specific database 'Fortune'

Restrict Role To CREATE TABLE On An Assigned SCHEMA

May 9, 2008

Can anyone help me with this? The objective is to allow an application user (with db_datareader & db_datawriter database roles assigned) to be able to create tables in the assigned schema (dbo) via a new role.


-- Create User

use master

go

create login DBA with password='xx', CHECK_EXPIRATION=ON, CHECK_POLICY=ON

use AdventureWorks

go

create user dba from login DBA
alter user dba with DEFAULT_SCHEMA=dbo

go

-- Create Role

use AdventureWorks

go

create role sp_ddl_role AUTHORIZATION dbo

grant CREATE TABLE to sp_ddl_role



-- assign user to Role

use AdventureWorks

go

exec sp_addrolemember sp_ddl_role, dba

go

-- Create Table statement then run with following error
Error:

Msg 2760, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

The specified schema name "dbo" either does not exist or you do not have permission to use it.

Remedy: Grant ALTER on schema::dbo to sp_ddl_role

My problem is that I want to restrict user permissions via this role to just the CREATE TABLE and granting ALTER on a SCHEMA will open up a whole lot more permissions from a security standpoint.

Question: How do I restirct this role to just the CREATE TABLE within a SCHEMA?

Report Builder Model Generation - How To Create A Key Attribute Along With The Role?

Mar 28, 2007

Hi,



I have found that in the autogenerated model attributes are missing for those fields that have relations to other tables. At first, it may look reasonable since a user can still get down to the field's value through the relation/related table. However, if the relation's key fields is the only thing the user wants to display, then going down to the related table is an overkill.

I can add an attribute manually and bind it to the key field(s). Is there an option in the autogeneration process to do it automatically? The only post I've found so far suggests to do everything manually (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1152575&SiteID=1). Is this the only way?



Thank you,

Power Pivot :: Date Dimension - Create A List Of Months

Jul 21, 2015

I 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.

Power Pivot :: Create Measure Within Date Dimension Table To Sum Single Entry Per Month Eliminating Duplicates

Jul 27, 2015

We 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. 

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.  

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. 

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
12 8

Create Dimension Table From Fact Table!!

Mar 16, 2007

I 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"

Can't Make Database Role A Member Of Another Database Role In 2005.
