Power Pivot :: How To Load SSAS Tabular Database Tables
Aug 19, 2015
I am trying to implement some powerview report in excel 2013 itself (not in sharepoint).
I have implemented a SSAS tabular model and deployed to server. Now my aim is to load this tables in the SSAS tabular database into powerpivot so that i can use this data for creating powerview reports. However when i tried to import data from SSAS, it asks database and MDX query. My requirement is to load the dimension and fact tables to power pivot as it is.

We have an Excel PowerPivot model that we are trying to move to SSAS Tabular. The model is complex and has over 300 measures. To group these in Excel, we pasted in dummy tables and defined the measures in logical groupings. Now when we are migrating to SSAS, we have to delete the pasted tables --that have ALL of the measures, in order for the import to work successfully.
How to migrate the model? We have a nice report of all of the measures from DAX Studio, but I am not looking forward to manually re-entering 300 measures through the user interface. Is there any way to define measures in batch? Or is there a way to change the pasted table to a file so the import will work? Will the import work in SSAS 2016?

I have a ssas tabular model as a data source in a .pbix-file. I have uploaded the .pbix-file to Power BI Services and it works fine as long as my visual studio project is open. If I close my visual studio project, the objects in Power BI Services will say "The data recievement for this visual information was not successful."

I have a very small SSAS database with around 35 Mb. I opened it on Excel 32 bits and started dragging fields to a pivot table and it started failing with memory errors. The behavior on the SSAS server was that memory started growing very fast until 8 GB (vm memory total) and then the error is reported in excel.
What might be the issue in such a small database? I would understand in a big database, but not on this one.

how to combine measures and fields coming from an analytical model (tabular) along with some Excel calculations. Basically I want to provide users with a simple report (to be displayed in SharePoint Excel services) containing charts and slicers. The data comes from a tabular model, and most of the calculations are in the model as well.However there is some little tweaking that must be done. For example I might need additional calculated columns, but I don't feel the need to modify the tabular model for that. I was wondering if I could do this within Excel as well -- but without having to bring all the data through a pivot table, then manipulate it and then show it on the report. So to be clear I do not want any pivot tables lying around, even if on a hidden sheet.
I noticed that when selecting a pivot chart in Excel, at the ribbon menu under "PIVOTCHART TOOLS"/"ANALYSE" there is a group of buttons named "Calculations". One of them is named OLAP Tools.Is it fair to assume that these options will allow me to create new measures at the Excel side, without affecting my tabular model?

I have two data tables:
1) Production data with column headers: Key, Facility, Line, Time, Output
2) Costs data with column headers: Key, Site, Cost Center, Time, Cost
The tables have a common key named obviously as Key. The data looks like this:
Key
Facility
Line
Time
Output
Alpha
I would like to have two pivot tables which I can filter with ONE slicer based on the column Key. The first pivot table shows row labels Facility, Line and column labels Time. Value field is Output. The second pivot table shows row labels Site, Cost Center, and column lables Time. Value field is Cost.How can I do this with Power Pivot? I tried by linking both tables above to a table with unique Keys in PowerPivot and then creating a PivotTable where I would have used the Key from the Keys table.

We have build a powerpivotmodel that uses a couple of datasources. The user extracts on monthly base an excel file with 20 samples (randomly) from the model to check some aspects of the input. He can put Yes or No into a column if he agrees or not and fill in a remark field. Next this excel file is loaded back into the powerpivot model (in a nightly batch) and the Yes/No field and the remark field are added to the original data. If the user refreshes his excel sample file from the pivot, the remark and YN field will be filled with the values he added. So far so good. One moth later when he extracts the file for a new month a problem arises. Since the excel file only has data for the new month, when the PP-model is reloaded the data for the previous month will be lost. So we need some sort of incremental load for the excel file. Is that possible and is this the best way to handle this situation?

Given a model in Power Pivot with a number of KPIs that are hidden with the 'hide from client tools' option. After restoring the model in SSAS and connecting to the model from Excel, the KPIs are visible under a separate category/table "KPIs".
Other hidden items in the model like columns and measures remain invisible.
Is this normal behavior and what can I do about this?

We couldn't find a way to show row/column members in the order as in the database. The Pivot table always applies alphabetical sorting:
Is there really no way to show items as per database order?

I work in a medical facility and and client confidentiality prevents loading my pivot tables to sharepoint at this time.
I am creating several reports that combine data from SQL Server, Cerner medical report DB and some lookup tables in Excel.
Everything works great on my desktop but I'm having trouble sharing my work.
Our normal routine is to drop a copy of our excel files in a Pass through file on the server that has strict access controls.
I think my main problem is my supervisor doesn't have powerpivot on his machine. that will be corrected tomorrow.
My question is: When close your powerpivot workbook, do all the connections go with it. If I just drop myproject.xlsx into the pass through will all the links to the varying data sources still be available?

I have 2 tables below:
Table 1:
Product No Quantity
A 1
B 2
C 3
Table 2:
Product No Grade Quantity
A Good
A Normal
A Bad
B Good
B Bad
C Good
C Normal
C Bad
In Table 2, Product No divided by Grade. I want to lookup the Quantity from Table 1 to Table 2. The same Product No will have 1 value, the other value is 0. The result for Column Quantity should be like this:
Table 2:
Product No Grade Quantity
A Good 1
A Normal 0
A Bad 0
B Good 2
B Bad 0
C Good 3
C Normal 0

I am developing a database in PowerPivot and I am wondering how to create many relationships between the same 2 tables. All relationships must be active.
Let me give you a DUMMY example: let's say that the database has 2 tables, the Employee table and Manager table:
->Employee Table: Employee_name, Previous_Manager, Current_Manager
->Manager Table: Manager_Name
Because I have 2 manager fields in the employee table, I need to create 2 links between the employee and manager tables:
-> Link 1: Previous_Manager ---- Manager_Name
-> Link 2: Current_Manager ---- Manager_Name
Right now, one of the links is inactive...
Is there a way in PowerPivot to create 2 active links like that ?

I want to count the rows in the Incident Table by using filters to limit the rows to be counted if they meet the below conditions. I know I need a logical test for each row of the incident table based on the apparatus table’s rows. But, I want to test for each row in the incident table, counting, but not returning a true or false in the overall measure.Something like look at each incident row, test for true or false and then count IF the statement is true. Then go to the next incident row and do the same. The aggregation would be the final count of “true” results.I tried this for MET objective:
=CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(incident),
apparatus[Incident Response Time] >-1 ||
apparatus[Incident Response Time] <320,
uv_901APP_TYPE[Description]="Engine",
uv_901INCIDENT[Top_Category]="Fire"

I have several reports in a Power View Gallery. In Gallery view, most of the reports show the "Open New Excel Workbook", the "Create Power View Report", and the "Manage Data Refresh" buttons on the right side of the report list. Why would some reports not have these buttons available? In the attached image you can see one report with the buttons and one without the buttons.

I've imported a number of excel sheets into a Power Query Table. All seems to appear ok until I load the data. Of the 15k rows around 2k have a similar error where it cannot convert an integer to type string as below example
Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value 40 to type Text.
Details:
Value=40
Type=Type
The columns in question are all of integer type, I've looked through the M query and there is no conversion to string taking placeThe values where we don't get the error are also integers hence the intriguing question is why does the error occur on a subset and not the others. I suspect there is a limit to the number of errors also somewhere internally M query is converting the column to text for some reason.

Slow loading issue with an if statement. In the raw data the field [Location] is a text field e.g. 0010. I have a parameterised query that get a Location_Value from Excel and passes it to the PQ query using:
#"Filtered Rows1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Removed Other Columns", each ([SalesMode] = 0) and ([SalesType] = 0) and ([Location] = Location_Value))
This works fine if you chose a single location. However I wanted to be able to select all locations and text is horrible to work with so in PQ I used the change type function to change the location column into whole numbers. I changed excel to also pass a number as Location_Value. I was therefore surprised when the same query took 2.5 times longer to refresh????
My PQ now looks like this
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Other Columns",{{"Location", Int64.Type}}),
#"Filtered Rows1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each ([SalesMode] = 0) and ([SalesType] = 0) and ([Location] = Location_Value))
I'm wondering if I need to do something to the ([Location] = Location_Value) bit as maybe it still thinks [Loation] is text and it is trying to compare it to a number. I st assumed the step above meant that [Location] was now a number, but maybe you still have wrap it with some kind of VALUES or TEXT function?

When updating a Power Query Source in Power Pivot, I'm getting the following error message:
Basically saying that OLE DB or ODBC-error occured when:
- Connections have been imported from a different workbook or
- the workbook has been created in a newer Version of Excel
None of which is the case here. What can cause this?

I have opened an account in [URL] and taken the 60 days trial for power bi pro. I've developed power pivot and generated power views in share point 2013. But, I'm new to Power BI desktop. I have created a report in power BI desktop and published to [URL]. Also, I have uploaded an excel file directly to [URL] and created the report from the workspace available there itself and pinned the report to dashboard also. Everything is fine till this. But, I need to refresh the file which I have uploaded. I have some dummy data in excel sheet.
ZipCode State ZipName
2345 AA AA
456 BB BB
6787 CC CC
This has been created as a table and then added to data model. So, power pivot has been created for the same. Then I have uploaded this file to [URL] site. But, I'm getting an error message while trying to schedule refresh for the same.
"You cannot schedule refresh for this dataset because it does not contain data model connections. You cannot schedule refresh on worksheet connections or linked tables. To schedule refresh the data must be loaded into the data model."
How can I create a data model connection? How can I schedule refresh for an excel file like this?

I'm looking to replace text in a given column given a set of conditions in the other columns. Please see below the M query in the advance editor and in particular the bold text. Here I've created a new entry that would appear in the query applied steps window in the power query editor that I have called "Replace Values". The logic is if Data.Column4 column equals "London" then replace null values in Data.Column5 with London. However when I save the query below I get the error
Expression.Error: There is an unknown identifier. Did you use the [field] shorthand for a _[field] outside of an 'each' expression?
I plan to change the expression to test for multiple conditions however I need to get the basic expression working first. The other frustration i had with the "if" statement is it had to have an else even though I didn't require it, am i doing something wrong here?
let
FullFilePath = "C:PermanentDwellings.xlsx",
Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents(FullFilePath)),
#"Expanded Data" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Source, "Data", {"Column1", "Column10", "Column11", "Column12", "Column13", "Column14", "Column15", "Column16",

I want to show on Power BI Dashboard a moving average - for example, I want to always show the last 30 measurement of body temperature but it looks like Power BI dashboard shows all measurements I have and compress them - which makes the dashboard ugly.
I tried to customize the X-axis properties but I dont know what I should change the default start/stop properties to (where the default property value is automatic).

SQL Server Data Tools within VS 2010 Shell.2012 SASS in Tabular Mode.I've created a Measure and KPI in my fact table. I've created a perspective named "Summary" When selecting the fields and measures for display in the perspective, the measure is available, but not the KPI (target, status, etc.). When Analyzing in Excel with the Summary perspective, the KPI is not available in the field list. When analyzing in Excel with the (default) perspective, the KPI is available.As far as I can tell, there is no way to select a KPI within the perspective window.

Sales Special Visibility:=IF(
HASONEVALUE(dimSalesCompanies[SalesCompany])
;IF(
VALUES(dimSalesCompanies[SalesCompany]) = "Sales"
;CALCULATE([Sales];ALL(dimSalesCompanies[SalesCompany]))
;[Sales]
)
;BLANK()
)
FYI, I also have other measures as well in the pivot table that I don't want to affect.

I have a simple pivot table (screenshot below) that has two variables on it: one for entry year and another for 6 month time intervals. I have very simple DAX functions that count rows to determine the population N (denominator), the number of records in the time intervals (numerator) and the simple percent of those two numbers.
The problem that I am having is that the function for the population N is not overriding the time interval on the pivot table when I use an ALL function to do so. I use ALL in other very simple pivot tables to do the same thing and it works fine.
The formula for all three are below, but the one that is the issue is the population N formula. Why ALL would not work, any other way to override the time period variable on the pivot table.
Population N (denominator):
=CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(analyticJudConsist),ALL(analyticJudConsist[CurrentTimeInCare1]))
Records in time interval (numerator):
=COUNTROWS(analyticJudConsist)
Percent:
=[countrows]/[denominatorCare]

How can I apply "Min" formula under a "new measure" (calculated field) within a pivot table under Power pivot 2010?Can see that neither does it allow me to apply "min" formula directly "formula box" nor could find any other option.Intent formula: "=Min(1,sum(a:b))" this isn't allowed so all I can do is "=sum(a:b)".

I have simple pivot table (below screenshot with info redacted) that displays a population number ("N" below), this is the denominator, a cumulative numerator number (below "#") and a simple cumulative percent that just divides the numerator by the denominator. It cumulates from top to bottom. The numerator and percent are cumulative using the below functions. There are two problems with the numerator and percent:
1. When there is not a number for the numerator, there is no value displayed for both the numerator and the percent..There should be a zero displayed for both values.
2. When there has been a prior number for the numerator and percent (for a prior month interval) but there is no number for the numerator in the current month interval, the prior month number and percent are not displayed in the current month interval--see the 3rd yellow line, this should display "3" and "16.7%" from the second yellow line.Here is the formula for the numerator:
=CALCULATE(count(s1Perm1[entity_id]),FILTER(ALL(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory]),s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory] <= MAX(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory])))
Here is the formula for the percent:
=(CALCULATE(countrows(s1Perm1),FILTER(ALL(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory]),s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory] <= MAX(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory]))))/(CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(s1Perm1),ALL(s1Perm1[Exit],s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory])))
