Hi Experts,
I have a analysis service cube conaining 4 dimensions. Is it posible to create a report using Report Model(which I already created) through Report manager? I'm currently using SSRS 2005. Please let me know the procedure?
Thanks & Regards,

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 :
Result
i process all , deploy , mark dim_time as date dim , and i still cant find the error.
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.

I am new to Analysis services. and I have figure out the following things:
I have a cube with multiple dimensions. I want to display all the options in cube along with the count of the rows for that combination. I am unable to understand how to count the dimensions and apply to column.
For example, I have say dim1, dim2, dim3 dim4, name as dimensions and cnt as count of the rows. Now I want to write an mdx expression that returns me dim1, dim2, dim3, dim4 with count(name fields) for above combination so the output will be as follows:
name field1 name field2
dim1 dim2 dim3 dim4 200 100
how do I do it?
Also how do we accept input parameters for mdx expression. for example in the above thing, if I have to accept an input for dim1 and display the output values for dim1 how do I do it?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
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.

Hi all,
Apologies if this has been raised in the past, but 6 hours of web searching today hasn't turned up anything!
I'd like to use the Slowly Changing Dimension (SCD) Wizard to keep track of tables in my relational database. This means 200+ tables. I don't want to step through the UI Wizard for each table. Ideally I'd like to be able to create the SCD transformation in code, but I can find no good examples for doing this. The MSDN examples here are too brief and don't allow me to expand out to the level I need.
As in any database, columns come and (very rarely, go), and having a programmatic solution to this would mean that I could be flexible and cope with these situations.
So, my question is: Has anyone implemented SCD functionality in code, or have any code examples that do this, that I might learn from. Or, any tips/pointers if I'm barking up totally the wrong tree.
Thanks in advance,
-tom

From Analysis Services, how do I now use reporting services to show the Data?
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 ?

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?
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 ?
I have a dimension report with an attribute reporttype which have different member let say A,B,C,D....etc.
I want to set more than one default members for dimension report.
I've read all about how dimensions can have only one default member, but I need to set more than 1.
Hi
A very basic MDX question. Using the following from AdventureWorks as an example:
Code Snippet
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Big Cities]
AS
(
[Geography].[City].&[New York]&[NY]
, [Measures].[Internet Order Count]
)
SELECT
[Measures].[Big Cities] ON COLUMNS
, [Customer].[Total Children].Children ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works]
How would I re-write the [Measures].[Big Cities] calculated member so it included both [Geography].[City].&[New York]&[NY] and [Geography].[City].&[Los Angeles]&[CA]? Assuming there is no logical connection between these members, and that they are non-contiguous. Also, in my real example, I cannot move [Measures].[Internet Order Count] to the WHERE clause, it must remain within the calculated member.
Thanks,
Julia.
I am developing a BI solution on SQL Server 2008 R2 and how to handle multiple referances to the same dimension from a fact table!
Here is the scenario;
Fact_Contracts (# M)
ServiceProvider_CompanyID, Client_CompanyID, Amount_USD
Dim_Company( hundreds)
ID, CityID, ProfessionID, CompanyName
Dim_City
ID, CityName
Dim_Profession
ID, ProfessionName
As u can see there is two company references in my fact table, and the schema is in snowflake. My customer requirements state that the Contracts' amounts can be aggregated/filtered for/by, ServiceProviderCompany, its city/profession or ClientCompay, its city/profession.
First thing came in to my mind is to dublicate whole dimension structure (one for serviceproviders, one for clients), which i thought that there should be another way around?
How @StartDate and @EndDate parameters must added to the MDX query for usage in SSRS data set. strtomember can be used like
SELECT (
strtomember(@StartDate) : strtomember(@EndDate)
) ON COLUMNS FROM [Cube]
How can i specify that sub-select must work on the [Fact A] and [Fact B] rundate? strtomember(@StartDate) does not specify on which attribute this sub select is going to work. Any pointers ?
FROM
(
SELECT
(
[Fact B].[Rundate].&[2015-01-02T00:00:00] : [Fact B].[Rundate].&[2015-01-15T00:00:00]
) ON COLUMNS FROM
(
SELECT
( [Fact A].[Rundate].&[2015-01-02T00:00:00] : [Fact B].[Rundate].&[2015-01-15T00:00:00] ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Cube]
)

I have created a reporting model.
When i use this model to create a report, all goes well.
But now i want to add date parameters (from ... to) to this report.
When i add my parameters in my reporting parameters (i use visual studio to create my reports)
i get the calender to select a from and to date.
but when i generate my report, i get the whole date range available in my database (so the parameters
are not used).
I tried to create a filter in my dataset, but there i cannot specify the parameters i created (error : from is not a date. i also tried @From but that doesn't work either)
anybody have an idea how i can add parameters ? but it must be based on reporting model.

Does anyone have a sample of what a database would look like that would support multiple clients in a single ASP.net application?
Thank you,
Hi,
I've just created a reporting model to use with my reports.
I have deployed the model to my localhost reporting server.
The name of my model is : mod_agentreporting
Can someone give me the right connection string that i have to use ?
Is there any advantage for using reporting models as datasources for reports
or a shared data sources ?
Thanks already in advance for your remarks.
Vincent
Hi,
Can anyone tell how to copy multiple tables from from one db to another using SSIS object model.
I am confused with things like. Do I need to add multiple source and destination in a dataflow task or do I need to add multiple dataflow task?
What is the difference between these two? Is there any other (easy way) to achieve this?
Thanks.
I am in the process of creating a Report, and in this, i need ONLY the row groups (Parents and Child).I have a Parent group field called "Dept", and its corresponding field is MacID.I cannot create a child group or Column group (because that's not what i want).I am then inserting rows below MacID, and then i toggle the other rows to MacID and MacID to Dept.

We have a current situation where analysts will be modeling a variety of problems, all stemming from the same source data (stored in a SQL-Server 2005 relational database).
Analysts that work on the same problem will only have access to:
- A sandbox relational database (which contains views into the same source database). The analyst is db_owner of the sandbox database, so she/he can create data transformations required, etc. The sandbox database contains views to the source database, but the analyst only has read-access to the specific data elements needed from the source DB. So, they are very restricted w.r.t. the source database, but are db_owners of their sandbox relational databases. Note that the analyst will connect to the database via Windows Authentication.
- An Analysis Services sandbox database to use for their modeling, etc. In this AS sandbox db, we've created a role called "Administrator" and checked the permissions: Full control (Administrator), Process database, and Read definition. The analyst's windows account is the "user" associated with this role.
Also, in this situation, the SQL Server 2005 Relational Engine and Analysis Services are running on a single machine. The goal of this security model is to provide analysts with the ability to work in their "workspaces" (both SQL and AS), but not to see other analysts work, etc.
I'm running into a problem when trying to build models using this security model by doing the following:
- Running Visual Studio
- Selecting File -> Open -> Analysis Services Database and choosing the AS DB that I have access to (this is the only one that appears in the drop-down, after specifying the AS server).
- I've created a data source pointing to the relational sandbox DB.
- I've created a data source view choosing the table/view needed for the case table.
- I created a mining structure with a decision tree model
When I process the mining structure, I'm getting the following errors:
- If the data source Impersonation is "Default" -- the error is "The datasource, '<DS name>', contains an ImpersonationMode that is not supported for processing operations."
- If the data source Impersonation is "Use the credentials of the current user" -- the error is the same as "Default" above -- "The datasource, '<DS name>', contains an ImpersonationMode that is not supported for processing operations."
- If I change the data source Impersonation to "Use the service account" and select "OK" in the "Data Source Designer" window, and error comes up with message: "The ImpersonationInfo for '<DS name>' contains an ImpersonationMode that can only be used by a server administrator.
Any suggestions or pointers to help implement this security model to provide analysts with AS and SQL Relational resources for their modeling?
Thanks,
- Paul
I am using BI Dev Studio for SS2005 in a research (as opposed to a production) environment. Often I want to compare the results of multiple models using the same attributes. If I switch to a different model, the Design view completely resets. Is there any way to retain the same field names with different models in the Design view?
My current workaround is to give my models similar names with AR, DT, CL, LOG, NN suffixes and make global changes in the DMX.
I have consulted the following without finding an answer:

Hi,
I think this is a question for the specialists among us.
Can I use one general reporting server (installed on instance MAINREPORTING)
for multiple customers who all have their own sql instance (CUST1, CUST2, CUST3, ..)
I would use UserAuthenciation on the reportserver url to display the specific reports customers can use.
Is this possible, and what do i have to take care off concerning installation and/or configuration (especially on
the reporting side) ?
Greetings

I am working on a model where I have a sales fact table. Each fact record has four different customer fields (ship- to, sold-to, payer, and bill-to customer). I have one customer dimension table that joins to the sales fact table four times (once for each of the customer fields above). When viewing the data in Excel, I would like to have four hierarchies (ship -to, sold-to, payer, and bill-to customer) within Customer.
Is there a way to build hierarchies within my Customer dimension based on the same Customer table? What I want is to view the data in Excel and see the Customer dimension. Within Customer, I want four hierarchies.
I think I've seen a similar post on a blog or on the forums - but it seems like this should be possible -
I have an MDX query - that works fine in SQL Enterprise Manager, and has my dimension members on columns, and my measures on the rows. When I try the same query in Reporting Services, I get the error:
"The query cannot be prepared: The query must have at least one axis. The first axis of the query should not have multiple hierarchies, nor should it reference any dimension other than the Measures dimension..
Parameter name: mdx (MDXQueryGenerator)"
Although it works when you pivot the view, I really need my data presented with the members on the columns and the measures on the rows. Another forum post mentioned using the SQL 9.0 driver, but I can't see this listed anywhere (the only one I see is the .NET framework Data Provider for Microsoft Analysis Services).
Here's what my query looks like -
SELECT
{ [Time].[Month].&[2006-09-01T00:00:00] ,
[Time].[Month].&[2006-10-01T00:00:00],
[Time].[Month].&[2006-11-01T00:00:00],
[Time].[Month].&[2006-12-01T00:00:00]
} on COLUMNS,
{
[Measures].[Unique Users],
[Measures].[UU Pct 1],
[Measures].[UU Pct 2],
} ON ROWS
FROM [Cube]
Any ideas?
Thanks,

I need to develop a language specific dwh, meaning that descriptions of products are available from a SAP system in multiple languages. English is the most important language and that is the standard. But, there are also requirements of countries that wants productdescriptions in their language.
Productnr Productdesc Language
1 product EN
1 produkt DE
One option is to column the descriptions, but that is not very elegantly. I was thinking of using bridge tables to model this but you have to always select a language in a filter (I think)..
I'm thinking of a technical solution, such that when a user logs on, the language is determined and a view determines whether to pick a certain product table specific for a certain language. But then I don't have the opportunity to interchange the different language specific fields in a report (or in my case PowerPivot).
We have the following scenario,
We have our Production server having database on which Few DTS packages execute every night. Most of them have Bulk Insert stored procedures running.
SO we have to set Recovery Model of the database to simple for that period of time, otherwise it will blow up our logs.
Is there any way we can set up log shipping between our production and standby server, but pause it for some time, set recovery model of primary db to simple, execute DTS Bulk Insert Jobs, Bring it Back to Full recovery Model AND finally bring back Log SHipping.
It it possible, if yes how can we achieve this.
If not what could be another DR solution in this scenario.
Thanks Much

Can someone please tell me how to retrieve/query the list of fields from an entity of a report data model that has been published on the reporting server programmatically ?
I am trying to upload a report data model to the reporting server and planning to use that model as the data source and consume it through our existing web application?
Thank you ,

Hi!
Need some help building a query that does the following :
I have 2 Time Dimensions ; Time (Transdate) and ClosedDate (ClosedDate)
In my report/query, if [Time].CurrentMember = [Time].[YMD].[YMD].[2006].[200610].[20061031] I want to FILTER out all ClosedDate < [ClosedDate].[YMD].[YMD].[2006].[200610].[20061031]
Both Time Dimensions are Year -> Month -> Day and have the same Members.
I have every option available, using calculated Members and/or Measures to do this.
The report I'm creating is Aging of Receivables : Balance / 30 days / 60 days / etc.. But for the Aging, I need to filter like explained above.
Appreciate all help!

Hi all,
I have MS Time Seeries model using a database of over a thousand products each of which has hundreds of cases. It amazingly takes only a few minutes to finish processing the model, but when I click Mining Model Viewer to view the models, it takes many hours to show up. Once the window is open, I can choose model for different products almost instantly. Is this normal?
hi !!i have a question about the connected and disconnected model to access the Sql server DB.......i know that there is better to choose one rather than the other in some situantions and there is no better model in all cases...... os i hope you can help me to decide what shall i choose...i will use the DB to connect to Web services and read data from the DB and wrtie some data back.......i do not know that to use ..... i hope you advise me and tell me about the rules that will allow me to choose what model to choose .... i appreciate your help!!Thanks !!!
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are in the design phase of a project where it is estimated there will be 150 SQL Server databases - each one housing similar information on each of 150 client sites. The client needs a reporting tool to analyze and make comparisons across databases. We were thinking about a using a data warehouse. Does SQL Server have a native solution to this type of problem ? Or is there another, better way to approach this ?
