I have a fact table with a simple integer lookup key into a basic dimension table. However, some of the fact lookup key fields are NULL. I would like the Analaysis Services reports to show this NULL category. Instead, Analysis Services discards any NULL entries and the records are completely absent from the reports. What is the best way to achieve this?
Thank you!
When i add a dimension to the cube dimension without any relation in my dimension usage to any measure group my units are going down.However when i remove the dimension from the cube am getting the correct values.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have 1 report with 2 charts, both charts have their own dataset. The two datasets are mdx queries on 2 different cubes, but some dimensions have the same name.
Now I want to have 2 differenent selectable parameters for the [dim time] dimension. One for the first query in the first cube and the second for the other query in the other cube .
So I check in the mdx query builder, both dimensions as parameter, but because both dimensions have the same name, i have only one selectable [dim time] -parameter in my report.
How can i solve this?
Thanks,
Dennis
Hi,
I am working with several tables, but for now I just mention 4 : one is fact table (named Usage), and 3 dimensional tables Periods, Products, and Regions. The fact table contains references to the dimensional tables. Table Periods contain two other columns month and year.
I created a cube containing columns from those 4 tables. Deployment was successful. Trouble comes when I want to create a mining structure using Time Series containing these columns :
- Period
- Amount (of money)
- Product name
- Region name
When I choose to use cube (instead of table) as source for mining structure, I'm forced to choose only one dimension (among the Periods, Products, and Regions). Whatever dimension I choose I end up being unable to use the column period as the Time-Key column. Effectively I cannot use Time Series method since I cannot use the column period.
(1) Why is this so [why Visual Studio forced us to use only one dimension from the cube] ?
(2) Why Visual Studio eliminates the column period, column that has relationship with the
time dimension?
(3) What is the use of Cube anyway to the mining? Is there still any use for it?
(4) What is the solution to that kind of problem I face?
Thank you,

I have a pivot transform that pivots a batch type. After the pivot, each batch type has its own row with null values for the other batch types that were pivoted. I want to group two fields and max() the remaining batch types so that the multiple rows are displayed on one row. I tried using the aggregate transform, but since the batch type field is a string, the max() function fails in the package. Is there another transform or can I use the aggragate transform another way so that the max() will work on a string?

Hi guys,
I made a cube with time dimension with hieracly year/month/date/hour
the problem is that dimension is growin to fast. In older version of MSSQL (2000) the same dimension doesn't grew so much.
Any ideas? The table is big (may be around 1 500 000 rows per month) now it contains around 4 500 000 rows.
Best way to print Dimension Usages with Measure Group for any CUBE.
This actually facilitate business people to understand which dimensions mapped to which measure group.
Hello,
I have an Analysis Services Cube that I would like to report on. However, the Time Dimension currently only has four columns, Day of Month, Month(name) , Year, and DateKey (DateTime representation at midnight for every day). Thus when I drag the month attribute onto the report, it is sorted April - August - December - etc. instead of Jan - Feb - Mar. How do I fix this? I remember reading something in the MSDN Library about it but I can't find it again now.

We have a set of cubes and dimensions, and we're experimenting with data mining against the cubes (primarily for forecasting applications). We have a custom time dimension (which we call calendar), not generated by the BIStudio wizard. The dimension has year/month/day/hour/... attributes. But when I try to add this Calendar dimension to the mining structure as a nested table using BI studio, it only shows the Year attribute, not the others. Other dimensions seem to show all the attributes.
Is there something we've done wrong in defining our time dimension? What determines which attributes show up as available for selection in BI studio?
I'm using SQL-Server 2008, Visual Studio 2013. I've got created Linked Object (Linked Measure) in Cube2 from Cube1. Everything was fine, but I edited Measure in Cube1, as I found documentation there is no ability to refresh Linked Objects so I deleted and recreated Linked Measure on Cube2. After It I can't process Cube2, receiving following errors:
MdxScript(Cube2) (10, 24) The dimension '[Dim]' was not found in the cube when the string, [Dim], was parsed.The END SCOPE statement does not match the opening SCOPE statement.
Hi all
sorry im new with using Reporting Services and even more inexperienced with using cubes.
My situation is as follows. I perform dynamic grouping (user selects the view via a parameter) Depending on the view selected, I need to change the dimension filter in the dataset.. Is this possible ?

For Example: I have one dimension named as "Name", Under this I have "FirstName" and "LastName" Attributes are there.But when i drag "Name" dimension, By default "First Name" dragged. But i Want "Last Name" should drag.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi,This is probably a classic scenario with a shared dimension that weneed to use in different cubes, where all fact tables do not offer thesame level of detail. Dimension is snow-flaked.The cube that's causing me troubles was designed by marking the lowestdimension level Diabled and not Visible. This allows me to get rid ofone of the snow-flake tables (the one with the lowest level), thusallowing an INNER JOIN with the remaining table which has a level ofdetail corresponding to the fact table.When processing the cube, I get a 'member with key '[blah]' was foundin the fact table but was not found in the level '[blah]' of thedimension '[blah]'' that seems to indicate that none of my fact foreignkeys exist as primary keys in the dimension table. However if I thenattempt to query the cube, all data seems to be there.Would anybody be in a position (and willing ;-)) to share his/her ownexperience working around a similar issue?Thanks,SRL

I have built a fact table and few dimension views in Datamart with the aim of creating a Cube.
On the Fact table I have added a CASE Statement with the following threshold for Premium due amounts:
CASE WHEN....
'Due_0-1_Month'
'Due_1-2_Month'
'Due_2-3_Month'
'Due_Over_3_Months'
'Overdue_0-1_Month'
'Overdue_1-3_Month'
'Overdue_3-6_Month'
'Overdue_Over_6_Months'
...END
I then created a Dimension to link this to:
CREATE VIEW...
Select 'Due_0-1_Month' as Ageing_Threshold
union all
Select 'Due_1-2_Month'
union all
Select 'Due_2-3_Month'
[Code] ....
I was successful in processing the cube, however the problem is everytime I drag the dimension on the columns field in Pivot tables the Thresholds start to break up the other amounts that I have on display like Acquisition Costs, Tax amounts. I am only interested in showing the breakdown of Premium amount measure by the Threshold dimension.
somehow 'Hide' or 'prevent' the Threshold dimension from breaking down the other measures on the Pivot and only breakdown the amounts for Premium?
how I should structure my tables in SQL or any MDX queries to resolve this.
Bitmask fields! I am capturing row changes manually via a high frequency ETL task. It works effectively however i am capturing the movement of multiple fields. A simple example, for Order lines, i have a price, a discount and a date. I am capturing a 001, 010, 100 respectively for each change.
I would like my users to be able to select from a dimension which has the 3 members in it and they can select one, multiples, or all values (i.e. only want to see rows that have had the date and price changed).
Obviously if i only had 3 columns i would use bit's and be done with it, i have many different values (currently around 24 and growing).
Hello,
I am getting this error when trying to open a report created with the cube. We use dundas olap chart to generate the xml for the report from the base cube or default perspective. What we do is change the xml dynamically to a different perspective for security purposes and then load the report. If the report xml accesses a dimension that is hidden the assigned perspective then we get the error shown below. Does anyone know how to handle this error?
Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Internal error. Dimension level or it's parent is NULL.
This only happens with some of our dimensions. With the other hidden dimensions we get no data message on the chart which is what we want.
I am comparing our dimensions to the Adventure Works cube dimensions which seem to work (I have not tried all of their dimensions yet). Nothing sticks out to me as being a setting that will make the error go way. Anyone have suggestions?
Other things I tried but didn't help were removing the parent child hierarchies and Role based security that uses one of the dimensions that throws the error. I also did a trace on the cube when the error is thrown. I could not see any errors and I was able to execute all of the MDX queries without any problems (I copied and pasted the mdx into SSMS).
As an aside we tried used the Cube Roles and Dimension security (Hiding measures in the Measures Dimension too) but the error that MS (#Error or #Value) throws causes dundas not to work. We also looked UDFs and Cell Level Security but both are more complex/what we need for now.
Thanks in advance,
Sean

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a DTSX package which reads values from a fixed-length text file using a data reader and writes some of the column values from the file to an Oracle table. We have used this DTSX several times without incident but recently the process started inserting NULL values for some of the columns when there was a valid value in the source file. If we extract some of the rows from the source file into a smaller file (i.e 10 rows which incorrectly returned NULLs) and run them through the same package they write the correct values to the table, but running the complete file again results in the NULL values error. As well, if we rerun the same file multiple times the incidence of NULL values varies slightly and does not always seem to impact the same rows. I tried outputting data to a log file to see if I can determine what happens and no error messages are returned but it seems to be the case that the NULL values occur after pulling in the data via a Data Reader. Has anyone seen anything like this before or does anyone have a suggestion on how to try and get some additional debugging information around this error?

Hi
can somebody explain me how I can assign a NULL value to a datetime type field in the script transformation editor in a data flow task.
In the script hereunder, Row.Datum1_IsNull is true, but still Row.OutputDatum1 will be assigned a value '0001-01-01' which generates an error (not a valid datetime). All alternatives known to me (CDate("") or Convert.ToDateTime("") or Convert.ToDateTime(System.DBNull.Value)) were not successful.
Leaving out the ELSE clause generates following error: Error: Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime.
If Not Row.Datum1_IsNull Then
Row.OutputDatum1 = Row.Datum1
Else
Row.OutputDatum1 = CDate(System.Convert.DBNull)
End If
Any help welcome.
I've a table which contains a record for each day an employee is employed:In the cube I've create a measure which is a sum of the field "Employed" which provides me the number of employees that are employed for a given date (lowest level of my time dimensions which are YEAR-MONTH-DATE)The problem is that the number aggregating on YEAR and MONTH which provides me with wrong figures at these levels - So how can create a calculated measure (maybe with Scope) that only show the Ultimo Numbers at the lowest level when I am browsing on the Month or Year level. For example if I am on the Year level I only want it to sum on the date 31-12-xxxx and if I'm at the month level(for example July 2012) it should show me the sum of 31-07-2012 which are the last level for the given month.

I have a custom essbase application/db source that I wish to connect to from SSRS 2005. I have all the required software installed (APS / SP2 .3050) etc.
I can connect to the datasource in SSRS 2005, but when I'm trying to build the query on the cube, I see under the member properties of all dimensions, the following piece of line
"error occurred retrieving child nodes: null"
Also, when I try to drag my Measures into the query section (or any other dimension for that matter of fact, though that defies logic) I get the following error
Cannot perform cube view operation. OLAP error (1260046): Unknown Member PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME used in query
I am new to using ESSBASE with SSRS 2005, and hence cannot make much sense of the above two errors.
Any insight or a re-direction to similar posts with solutions will be greatly appreciated.
thanks for your time,

This provides a good example for my situation. In this example, you will see a Movie dimension with four attributes; Genre, Language, Movie, and Theme. I have a similar setup except mine is Top Level Hierarchy>Categories>Values which are all under the one hierarchy.
My Question: I have the dimension setup as a multi-value parameter in one of my reports. When I filter on a value in Genre and in Language, it provides all values from that genre and all values from that language. I really only want the values that include both.
Genre - Western: Movie1, Movie2, Movie3
Language - English: Movie2, Movie4, Movie5
If I filter on Western and English, I get Movie1-5 when all I really want is Movie2 only. Is there any way to have this do an Intersect within the same dimension or do I have to build each one out into its own dimension?
Hi,
Actually we have multiple Sub Reports which we want to open from the Main Report. Initially when i used "Jump To Report" property it worked fine but in the browser the Main Report used to get refreshed everytime i had to Go Back to Main Report from Sub Report.
Second solution which i want to try is using "Jump To URL" property.
Some Details:
I have multiple parameters in the report.
My parameters are getting data from a Cube.
Parameters can have Multiple Vaue selected at a time.
I want to pass all the values to the URL.
Say
Parameter1 is DimCountryCountry
can have values such as:
[Dim Country].[Country].[All]
[Dim Country].[Country].&[India]
[Dim Country].[Country].&[Germany]
......
Parameter2 is DimCountryState
can have values such as:
[Dim Country].[State].[All]
[Dim Country].[State].&[Delhi]
[Dim Country].[State].[Punjab]
.....
Now i want to create a URL using these values,since each parameter should be separated by "&"(ampersand) my URL looks like one below.
Following URL Works fine:
javascript:void(window.open'(http://MyReportServer/ReportServer/Pages/Report.aspx?/MyReports/Project1/Country+Data&rcarameters=false&DimCountryCountry=[Dim Country].[Country].[All]&DimCountryState=[Dim Country].[State].[All]'))
as long as there is no "&" in the Parameter Value the URL works fine.
But when i try to insert values other than "[All]" it starts failing because "[Dim Country].[Country].&[India]" contains "&", which gives error due to ambiguity, (whether this "&" is a parameter separater or is it a part of parameter value)
So i found a solution for that, which is to replace "&" with "%26" escape sequence characters.This works fine as long as we specify this escape sequence in address bar. i.e if we directly paste the following URL in the address bar it will work.
http://MyReportServer/ReportServer/Pages/Report.aspx?/MyReports/Project1/Country+Data&rcarameters=false&DimCountryCountry=[Dim Country].[Country].%26[India]&DimCountryState=[Dim Country].[State].%26[Delhi]
but if we put this URL in the Javascript, it doesnot work, because the WIndow.Open function automatically replaces the
"%26" characters with "&", which we know gives ambiguity error.
Please let me know if you have any suggesiton for it. Anyway any better solution for my problem.
Thanks

Have 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?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to incrementally update a Cube to get near real time data for the end users. Currently we have a Sql server agent Job that does a FullProcess on the Cube. The Cube consists of a single Measure group which is simply one named query containing inner joins of all the dimensions and fact tables in the underlying relational database. The end users have a lot to upload during the day and they would like us to refresh the cube (near real time) to ensure the adjustments are loaded so that they could reconcile their daily PnLs. We have a MeasureId added which is an auto increment column in the Measures table.

But still I've to fetch my values. How do I do that?Thanks & Regards,Jahanzeb
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have tried doing a search, as I figured this would be a common problem, but I wasn't able to find anything. I know that my SP is functional because when I use VWD execute the query outside of the webpage, I get the correct results -however I have to ensure that a field is either entered, or set to <NULL>. In my SET's I want it to use the wildcards.
What I want is to do a search (plenty of existing topics on that, however none were of help to me). If a field is entered, then it is included in the search. Otherwise it should be ignored.

I don't know why it is creating links inside my SP -ignore them. TagNum is the primary key, if that makes a difference.
On the webpage, it ONLY works when every field has been filled (and then it will only return 1 row, as it should, given the data entered). Debugging has shown that when nothing is entered it passes "".
Any ideas?
