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."
View 2 RepliesI 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?
The thing is I can´t make update powerpivot, it raises a generic error. Tried to import into ssas tabular and worked fine.
Is there any way to get a better error detail or debug it someway?
I have a PowerPivot table setup based of a SQL Server stored procedure. I am kind of surprise that when I click the Refresh button on the PivotTable Tools ribbon bar above the report the report does not refresh. I have to open the PowerPivot window, click refresh and then go back to the worksheet with the PivotTable and click Refresh. Is that by design? It seems like the Refresh on the worksheet just gets the existing data from the table.

Is it possible to config environments ( dev,tst,prd ) in VS Tabular solution , like it is done in SSIS ? i find Variable tab , but i dont find the way to set a connection (string) to be change dynamically between the environments.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have created a tabular model with VS 2013 Ultimate. I deployed the model several times and everything works great with Power Pivot.
One of the dimension tables, "Age", has an integer field that is null. I updated that column in SSMS to have values, processed the table in VS and the "Age" column now has integer values.
I deployed the model again, connected with Power Pivot, and the "Age" column still has not data. I refreshed the Excel spreadsheet several times, started a new one, deployed several times and there is still not data in the "Age" column even though it clearly exists in VS.
I opened SSMS on the Analysis Service and queried the table in question and it also shows no data in the Age column even though it is in the data table and the VS model.
I can't find anything different about this column than others that contain data. How can this be happening?
i have a model contains fact of account revenue , a time dimension and scd of account.
the scd (type 2) is changing when an account get a new color.
when i queries the model by PowerPivot i sometimes get wrong color for an account in a date priod , for example , I would expect to see color 3 for account 1 at 04-06-2010 , But instead I see color 1 - as you can see in the picture bellow.
FACT , SCD :

i process all , deploy , mark dim_time as date dim , and i still cant find the error.
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 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.
I have a Visual Studio 2005 solution which contains a Sql Server Integration Services (SSIS) project.
In this solution I have explicitly set a Web application project as startup project, but whenever I edit a DTS package within the SSIS project, VS automatically sets the SSIS project as startup project and the package I edit as startup object.
Needless to say, this may cause some really unwanted incidents when running the solution - thinking that you're about to run the Web application project (that was explicitly set as startup project), but instead, you run the edited package in the SSIS project.
Is there any way to avoid having the SSIS project automatically setting itself as startup project, any workaround here at all? :)
Thanks.
I have visual studio 2005 and sql server 2005 with integration service installed on my machine. Couple of days ago, I installed visual studio 2008 professional.

View 2 Replies View Relatedplaying with the Power pivot , DAX. While analyzing the DAX ,I came across a function EVALUATE , but when I tried this function in excel Power Pivot workbook - =EVALUATE 'Date' where 'Date' is my one of the Power pivot table , I was writing this function within the Calculation area of the Power Pivot model. I get the below error when I hit enter after writing the function ."The expression is not valid or appears to be incomplete..An MDX expression was expected while a full statement was specified."But in many forums I find the syntax is correct.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've encountered an issue where the ALLSELECTED function works fine unless I use a date hierarchy, i.e. year, quarter, month, date, for the rows in a pivot and then use a year slicer, select one or more years individually, and the clear the filter on the slicer. The year(s) that I selected in the slicer remain at 100% in the pivot instead of returning to the subtotals for the unfiltered slicer.
This only occurs when I use a calendar hierarchy for rows and a date field for the slicer, either from the hierarchy or a regular date field.Below are images of the normal behavior and then the result after following the steps above. Can't figure out why the calendar hierarchy is causing the issue since it works for all other time functions, etc., and follows best practices such as contiguous dates, etc.
I'm using a Contoso database running on Power BI Desktop (Version: 2.28.4190.122). The databiase is actually a Contoso.pbix file provided for a book [URL]. I have a DAX query that summarizes a Products table by Product[Manufacturer] and gives a count of products by the manufacturers.My Problem is that the ORDER BY COUNTROWS doesn't work.
why the order by clause doesn't work when I'm confined to the Products table while the order by clause does work when I start with the Sales table? The numbers are correct in both queries.
This query doesn't sort
EVALUATE
SUMMARIZE (
Product,
Product[Manufacturer],
"ProductCount", COUNTROWS ( Product )
)
ORDER BY COUNTROWS ( Product ) DESC
This query does sort correctly
EVALUATE
SUMMARIZE (
Sales,
Product[Manufacturer],
"ProductCount", COUNTROWS ( RELATEDTABLE ( Product ) )
)
ORDER BY COUNTROWS ( RELATEDTABLE ( Product ) ) DESC

I have one thrid-party Visual Studio installed, Sybase PowerDesigner. I also have the SQL Server 2000 and 2005 client tools installed.
I tried uninstalling the PowerDesigner module. I tried reinstalling and repairing the SQL Server client tools and Visual Studio 2005. I tried uninstalling SQL Server 2000 and 2005 client tools and then intalling Visual Studio 2005 fresh.
Nothing seemed to fix the problem.
Has anybody seen this before? Any ideas on how to fix this? I found a work around to install the dll from SQL Server, but I would really like to deploy from Visual Studio.
Any help is appreciated.
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?
i need a regex support in SQL 2005 server.
i've downloaded SQL regex support project from http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/07/02/SQLRegex/default.aspx?loc=en.
but in order to enable regex support i needed to open VS 2005. compile the project and deploy it to SQL server. now i can use Regexp-s in SQL queries.
However this is not elegant way to deploy everytime SQL Database project via Visual Studio to every MS SQL server i want.
my question is : how can i deploy without using Visual Studio?
I have implemented SQL Server 2005 Developer Version at Windows XP Home. I'm working on localhost.
I want to do an assoziation analysis and creating data source and data source view is successful. But when the data mining wizard comes to the point where to choose the data mining algorithm, the visual studio crashes- the application is not responding. No error code is given, so I don't know where to start.
Analysis Server is running and the connection to the data source is made.
Hope someone can give me a hint.
This may be a silly question but I've got a .NET 2.0 application with several projects/libraries. I'd like to have the benefits of a VS 2005 Data Project (deployment, code snippets, etc.) but I can't figure out how to take an existing C# project and allow it to also be a Database project (there should be the extra "Data" tabe in the project's properties).
Any tips?

I created several packages (MyProjectPart1 - MyProjectPart9) which I execute on the server directly(right-click package in integration services and execute). These packages alI deployed the server with logging and configuration files. Before deploying I edited the configuration file (changed all dependent file names and sql server name from default on my workstation to those unique to the server I'm deploying it to) and then ran the manifest file which pushed it onto the server. I then ran the packages from the server an it ran beautifully. I then tried to build a package which executes all the packages in the correct order (by adding 9 execute package tasks). The dependen files are on the E: emp folder on the server.
I have included the error messg...but it looks like it's looking for dependent drives on the C drive on my workstation. I don't get this? How do I supply configuration files? Why is it executing differently when I call it from package execute task and when I execute it on SQL Server

Hi,
I'm am deploying an application that uses SQL Express and wish to also deploy SSMSE along with it.
I have the .msi but I don't know how to get the setup project to deploy this as it does SQLExpress and .Net Framework 2.0. (and I am using VS 2005 SE)
There is an MS article on creating "Custom Prerequisites" (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165429(VS.80).aspx) which speaks to creating product and project manifests.
Has anyone does this for SSMSE? Or am I going about this in the wrong way?
Thanks in advance,
