Hi,
I am currently trying to develop an application which would help in retrieving data from cubes (Microsoft Analysis Services)! The user would not be accessing the Business Intelligence Studio, etc. but would be viewing the data from a custom made application developed in VB.Net2005.
While implementing this, I want to populate the drop-down-list in the VB(.Net) Form, by retrieving the various hierarchies in the dimensions of the cubes (along with dimensions if possible). This should be done dynamically and in real-time!
Can you please help in implementing this? Any code/method, etc would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Best wishes!

Dear Friends,
I created my BI Blog and I need your feedback to my post SSIS-Populating Dimension. Do you think is a good approach? In my project works perfectly!

Thanks!
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.

The field OrderDate contains BOTH Date and Time information. What I want to do is populate the fields (in bold above) from the OrderDate field... I have tried all that I could think of but nothing works. The last and the best try that I gave was the {B}following[/B] but that too does not work. Can you PLEASE help. Many thanks in advance:

Anyone got a script I can use to export users.
I need to change the collation on a server and want to recreate user and permissions after a re-install.
I am trying to split a .csv file on a week+location key. As there are 500+ locations and 52 weeks in a year this is not a manual task.
I have a Script component written but need to dynamically open/close the connection manager changing the connection string in between, to the Week+location key as the filename.
It has to be do-able because the ForEachLoop does it. But how do I?

I have a date dimension with below Hieararchy:
Year-->Quarter-->Month-->Week
Week is the lowest granular attribute.
Also i have a measure 'Holdings'
I would like to create calculated measure which should give me closing holdings at all levels(week ,Month,Quarter and year levels.) whichever i pull in the browse pane.
Below calculated measure would show the holdings for whatever the level you have specified.
([Measures].[Holdings],
ClosingPeriod( [DIM BI DATE].[Calendar].[WEEK], [DIM BI DATE].[Calendar].CurrentMember
))
But this measure shows the value for only week attribute.
for month,([Measures].[Holdings],ClosingPeriod( [DIM BI DATE].[Calendar].[Month],
[DIM BI DATE].[Calendar].CurrentMember ))
But my aim is to create a calculated measure to give closing value for any level.
We have a date dimension which spans till 2099 and there are future projection numbers (under measures). I want to limit the data for Future projections only to 5 years from today by default. Is there a way to do this with in the cube. I understand that this can be done using MDX but since we use excel to view the data from the cube it needs to be controlled with in the cube.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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 create a Dimension Date using SSAS 2008 but when i execute the dimension and i go to see the result i have this result:the result is not sorted..what i need is having the result order by year i mean i have Calendrier 2020,Calendrier 2019 ...
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to create a date dimension where the lowest level is month. I've seen examples which use the list function such as
Source = List.Dates(#date(2000, 1, 1), Duration.Days(DateTime.Date(DateTime.FixedLocalNow())-#date(2000,1,1)), #duration(1,0,0,0)),
The above increments by 1 day which is defined in the 1st argument of the #duration. My question is how can I dynamically change the value of this 1st argument such that its the number of days in the current month hence it will increment to only return the 1st date in the Month e.g
1/1/2000
1/2/2000
1/3/2000
etc..
I prefer to use an elegant approach if possible, the alternative would be return all dates, create a custom column from these dates which returns the month date - delete the dates column - get a distinct list of the month dates.
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 RelatedWe are trying to do some utilization calculations that need to factor in a given number of holiday hours per month.
I have a date dimension table (dimdate). Has a row for every day of every year (2006-2015)
I have a work entry fact table (timedetail). Has a row for every work entry. Each row has a worked date, and this column has a relationship to dimdate.
Our holidays fluctuate, and we offer floating holidays that our staff get to pick. So we cannot hard code which individual dates in dimdate as holidays. So what we have done is added a column to our dimdate table called HolidayHoursPerMonth.
This column will list the number of holiday hours available in the given month that the individual date happens to fall within, thus there are a lot of duplicates. Below is a brief example of dimdate. In the example below, there are 0 holiday hours for the month of June, and their are 8 holiday hours for the month of July.
DateKey MonthNumber HolidayHoursPerMonth
6/29/2015 6 0
6/30/2015 6 0
7/1/2015 7 8
7/2/2015 7 8
I have a pivot table create based of the fact table. I then have various date slicers from the dimension table (i.e. year, month). If I simply drag this column into the pivot table and summarize by MAX it works when you are sliced on a single month, but breaks if anything but a single month is sliced on.
I am trying to create a measure that calculates the amount of holiday hours based on the what's sliced, but only using a single value for each month. For example July should just be 8, not 8 x #of days in the month.
Listed below is how many hours per month. So if you were to slice on an entire year, the measure should equal 64. If you sliced on Jan, Feb and March, the measure should equal 12. If you were to slice nothing, thus including all 15 years in our dimdate table, the measure should equal 640 (10 years x 64 hours per year).
MonthNumberOfYear HolidayHoursPerMonth
1 8
2 4
3 0
4 0
5 8
6 0
7 8
8 0
9 8

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!

Sorry if this is to basic but I am just starting out. Any help is appreciated.
Basically I am attempting to populate a listbox with items from a MSSQL DB so the user can select either one or multiple items in that listbox to search on.
I have data like below, I need to populate the ID_INDICATOR columns with the below condition
ID TASK_ID TASK_COMPLETEDTSTASK_DUETSTASK_INDICATORID_INDICATOR
112014-06-09 00:00:002014-06-11 00:00:00GREEN

142014-06-17 00:00:002014-06-18 00:00:00AMBER
Condition:
##########
Red = If ID due date was overdue, i.e. if last task completed after the ID end date(2014-06-18 00:00:00).
AMBER= If any task in the ID is overdue but completed before the ID end date(2014-06-18 00:00:00)
Green = If all tasks were completed on time.
I am looking for the logic to implement the AMBER for the whole ID, because the TASK_ID 3 is overdue, but completed before the ID end date (2014-06-18 00:00:00).
I am trying to update a name column in the following way: (I wrote a description, but I think this visual is easier to understand).
This is what I have:
name1 name2 address etc
Bob null 123 street
Sue null 123 street
Jack null ABC circle
This is what I want:
name1 name2 address etc
Bob Sue 123 street
Jack null ABC circle
I'm just trying to get 2 names on the same row if they have the same address and get rid of the spare row. Name2 is currently null. Seems simple enough but I don't know how to do it in SQL. I can do it in FoxPro, but that doesn't help me here.
Thanks for any ideas.
I added an index to a SQL Server 2005 table. How do I populate that index? I thought it might be automatically populated but the operation to add the index happened so quickly that I don't think it could have done it that quickly. Also, I expected faster performace when selecting rows based on the indexed column, but performance remains the same.

Here is what I have and (somewhat understand). I’m using Visual Web
Developer 2005 Express Edition and have setup my application to use form authentication
(which automatically creates the ASPNETDB.MDF file with several default tables
and views). I’m using the CreateUserWizard
which is fine…but I need to collect additional information like (firstname,
lastname, address…and on..). What I’ve
done. I’ve created a tabled named
UserProfile and set UserId as the primary key (uniqueidentifier).
I then setup a 1-to-1 relationship
between aspnet_Users and UserProfile (which I think is correct). On my UpdateContactInfo.aspx page (where
users go to update their personal information) I use a hidden label control
(UserValue) to receive the UserId during the page_load event as below:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load UserValue.Text = Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey().ToString() End Sub Now with the UserID available I need to populate the
UserProfile table with the UserId, firstname, lastname, address of the
currently logged in user. How can I do this and am I on the
right track..?

Using the SqlDataReader, I am retrieveing records from a SQL Server 2005 DB table. Since I am using the SqlDataReader to retrieve the records from the DB, I have to use the Read method of the SqlDataReader like this:Dim sqlReader As SqlDataReaderWhile(sqlReader.Read) Response.Write(sqlReader.GetValue(0) & "<br>") Response.Write(sqlReader.GetValue(1) & "<br>") Response.Write(sqlReader.GetValue(2) & "<br>")End WhileThe records retrieved can only be accessed inside the While loop. I want to access the records outside the While loop as well. Is there anyway by which I can do this, maybe by populating the recordset in an array variable & then using it outside the While loop?
