MDX In Analysis Services: Create A Cube-Based Hierarchichal Picklist
Feb 7, 2008
Mr. Pearson,
I am currently reading your article titled, "MDX in Analysis Services: Create a Cube-Based Hierarchical Picklist". This article is directly applicable to a problem we are currently trying to solve regarding ragged hierarchies as input parameters.
I have not read the entire article through but am in the process of doing so. Also, I will be trying to implement your solution.
I have one question, will SSRS support multi selection when using a hierarchical picklist? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I have a cube that we are processing nightly via an Analysis Service Processing Task in SSIS. In order to increase the performance of the processing time, we elected to use a lot of rigid dimension attributes, and do a full process of everything in the SSIS task. The issue that I am having is that after that task completes, I need to go into Visual Studio to deploy the cube becuase we are unable to browse or use the cube. This issue seemed to start once we changed the SSIS Analysis Service Processing Task to do a full process on the dimensions, rather than an incremental.
I would expect that once development is done, and it is processed and deployed, that is it. My thinking is that the SSIS task should just update the already deployed cube,

I am new to SSAS. I have requirement to build a cube based on SQL Stored procedure. This Stored Procedure contains lot of temp tables, which are aggregated as measure columns.
Initially I have done creating views on each temp table, finally I created a view which calls like 15 views. when I try to execute the view, it is taking long time to execute the view.
I tried building cube on this view, when I try to deploy, even it is taking long time to deply..I have waited for 2 hours, still the deployement process going..
What I wonder is, is there any other way I can build cube based on SQL stored Procedure.

I'm making my first attempt at creating a cube using Analysis Services based on my exisiting datamart. Datasource, views, and dimensions have been defined. But comes deploying the cube, it's giving the error saying "A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running." The Deploy Target server and database are the same where my datamart is. Or, maybe I don't know what I'm doing.
Would appreciate any suggestion for my enlightenment. Thanks

I setup Hiarchy in the dimentions of my cube, however when I go and look at it via proclarity, I can't see the hiearchy there.
I have one table that has:
Category
Subcategory
Partnumber
And I have the hiearchy set from Subcategory to partnumber.
Then I go into proclarity and limit the category by "my catname" and I still see the 8000 partnumbers in the list.
Any ideas?

I have a (hopefully typical) problem when it comes to cube design. Westore millions of product records every year, broken down bymonth/quarter. Each product can be assigned to various heirarchialclassification groups etc. The data in an OLTP DB occupies roughly100G for a typical year.We're looking at breaking this out into OLAP to provide faster accessto the data in various configurations and groupings. This is not aproblem, as this is the intended use for Analysis Services.The problem is that we apply projection factors on the product pricesand quantities. This would be ok if it only happened once, however,this happens every quarter (don't ask why). The projection factorschange 4 times a year, and they affect all historical product records.This presents a challenge because to aggregate the data into a usefulconfiguration in the cubes, you throw out the detail data, but thismeans throwing out the price and quantities which are needed to applythe projection.So if you have Product A at $10 and Product B at $20, and roll both upinto Category X, you'll have $30, but you'll lose the ability to applya projection factor of .5 to Product A and .78 to Product B. They'rerolled up.I don't want to regenerate the cubes every 3 months. That's absurd.But we can't live without the ability of projection theprices/quantities on a product level (detail level). So how can thisbe achieved when the other cubes are created at a higher level withless details and sums of the detail data?My initial guess is that we have to update the product data, and thenreaggregate all the other data that is built upon that product data.Is there any other way to apply math to the data on the way out?Thanks in advance!Regards,Zach

If there are any AS gurus out there, I could use some help. I've been having some problems with particular AS dimension and cubes and it's driving me crazy! It doesn't matter what I do, nothing seems to work.
Anyway, here's what I'm trying to do. I've got a fairly simple dimension. There is a date stored in the dimension that is formatted as an int. The dimension needs to only display AGE, so I cast the int as a date and do a datediff to get AGE. The dimension builds just fine and I get the results I want. My problem is when I add the dimension to the cube. The cube fails to build and I get an error message - "Data source provider error: The column prefix 'MY TABLE' does not match with a table name or alias used in the query." Basically, AS is telling me that the table that is used for the dimension doesn't exist, even though the fact and the dimension are joined properly and I've validated the structure.
I've run a number of queries in QA on the two tables and everything works fine. No funky data issues. I've run the service packs a few times, but that didn't work either. I've tried making a cube that only has the just fact table and the one dimension table, and it still fails.
Basically, I'm out of ideas. Any help that anyone has is greatly appreciated.

Hello:
How do I connect to an Analysis Services 2000 cube while in Integration Services? My idea is to execute an MDX query from within a package, and then stage the data to a SS 2005 table for a RS report to query.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I'd like to be able to update an Analysis Services cube through a stored proc.
Currently I can:
- Make a DTS package that updates the cube
- run xp_cmdshell which runs dtsrun which runs the DTS package.
That is messy, easily broken, and hard to get good error info when an error occurs. Is there a better route?

Hi,
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.

We have set up an IS package to process an AS 2005 database (comprising cube & dimensions, etc) daily, via a SQL Server Agent job on both development and production systems. This has been working fine for months.
A new dimension was added to the cube on the development system - automatic processing via the IS package continued without issue. However, when the new dimension was added to the production system the IS package no longer processes the cube correctly. Although all appears ok (and all is present and correct in the logs), no data updates to the cube are made. Only when the cube is manually processed does the cube get updated.
Anyone got any ideas about how to get around this issue? We have created a new IS package, with a single Analysis Services Processing Task, and tried this but get the same outcome.

I have problems creating a cube with AMO.
I can add the cube to the database object and fill it with dimensions and a measuregroup (see code below).
If I call cube.Update() it says something like "Error in meta data manager. Cube has no measuregroups." (getting the message in german language)
The error in Microsoft.AnalysisServices.OperationException.Results.Messages is -1055653629
I can't find any documentation about this (or any other) error code in Microsoft documentation.
Here's my Code:
Cube newCube = database.Cubes.Add("MyCube","MyCube");
newCube.Language = 1031;
newCube.Collation = "Latin1_General_CI_AS";
CubeDimension dim = newCube.Dimensions.Add("dim1","dim1","dim1");
CubeAttribute attrib = dim.Attributes.Find("dim1Attr1");
[code]....

Hello,
I was trying to do cascading parameters based off my cube and I wasn't able to do this. Is it possible?
For example, I have a dimension that has Products so I first select the parameter for product type (Dairy, Frozen, Candy) and then I have another dropdown listbox that has the name of each product (Milk, Ice Cream, Lemon Drops). The second dropdown listbox should only contain the products that match what parameter was selected in the first dropdown.
When I couldn't get that to work, I went to the source system containing the Dimension tables and just did nice and easy SQL statements from there. It worked but I, for some reason that I can't explain, think this is not the proper way to do it.
Also, is there a way to have a default on the second parameter based on the first parameter selected? I would assume that default would be [All].
Thank you.

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
Thanks in advance..

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?
Thanks for any info you have!

Hi,
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?
If not, how can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I was talking to my boss to day and our report request are not very consistant. We always having someone coming back to change something in our report. We were thinking of useing something called the Cube Analysis. Then it give our employees the raw data for them to run any standard query for themself. We have folks that want a report one way, but then they changed their minds and we are creating yet another report 4 or 5 times. what are your thoughts about this type of database?

I know where the data files are etc, but what is the physical structure of a cube like on disk?
Logically we see the data as a star. Is the physical file akin to a star also? Or is a single file a measure group containing all the required member and measure data - thereby eliminating the need for physical join operators.

Is it correct to say that for each cube you can have only one Fact Table? I am having a funny dispute just now.
According my experience I never built cubes with more than one fact table, if I want take data from more than one table I write a view and I use it as Fact table...but a cube with two or three fact tables? Never tried..
