I have configured a Un-Pivot transform, source to unpivot is sort, when I change the source to derived column (one column name is same for both) and try to open Unpivot it gives me unreferenced lineage id (this is correct). Now When I select Delete Unreferenced Lineage Column and select Apply , it works till here. As soon as I select OK, BIDS crashes and closes.
I have a package with numerous data flows in it. (I know - this is not recommended as a best practice.) Anyway, one of the Data Flows just started giving me some trouble. When I opened that particular Data Flow, then BIDS would crash. I tried loading the project again, and opening that Data Flow task, and it just kept crashing. I rebooted - same deal.
The Data Flow was itself very simple. There was an OLE DB Source, and OLE DB Destination, a conditional split, a derived column, a data conversion and a Lookup. Pretty routine stuff. Out of the blue really, and long after I created it - it just starting crashing BIDS when I opened it.
My solution was to copy the Data Flow control flow component and paste it back into the same package. This worked perfectly fine, and didn't see any issues after. So, apparently something in the meta data became corrupt, and caused it to crash.
Anyway, just curious if others have seen this behavior, but also wanted to post this as a solution in case someone else has the same problem.
I need to transform the following layout by hopefully using the pivot transform, but am confused about the editor ......I have a compound primary key that I want to keep intact but then values in the row need to be broken out into their own row.
I need to go from this...
PKcol1 PKcol2 PKcol3 col4 col5 col6 col7 A 2007 1 Y N N N A 2007 2 Y Y N N A 2007 3 N N N Y
into this....
A 2007 1 col4 Y A 2007 1 col5 N A 2007 1 col6 N A 2007 1 col7 N A 2007 2 col4 Y A 2007 2 col5 Y A 2007 2 col6 N A 2007 2 col7 N A 2007 3 col4 N A 2007 3 col5 N A 2007 3 col6 N A 2007 3 col7 Y
Can I do this using the pivot transform? Any suggestions?
I am trying to find the equivalent to MS Access's TRANSFORM and PIVOT in T-SQL. I've tried using GROUP BY with CUBE, and I can't seem to get the data in the correct format. Can someone help? And please explain things to me like I am an idiot, because I am.
Here is the current table and the desired results that I want.
Current Table MonthTypeSubtypeTotalTime 1TaskASubA5 1TaskASubB10 1TaskASubC8 1TaskBSubX5 2TaskASubA4 2TaskBSubX5
I have a pivot transform that it believe is configured correctly but is not distributing the values accross the columns on the same row. for example.
input:
id seqno codevalue
1 A red
1 B red
2 C blue
2 A green
2 B violet
3 A green
desired output:
id Seq_A Seq_B Seq_C
1 red red null
2 green violet blue
3 green null null
what I am getting:
id Seq_A Seq_B Seq_C
1 red null null
1 null red null
2 green null null
2 null violet null
2 null null blue
3 green null null
I do have the pivot usage for the id column set to 1. I have the pivot usage for seqno column set to 2 and codevalue column set to 3. I have the source column for each of the output columns set to the lineageID of the apprpriate input columns. I have the pivotKey values set for each of the destination columns. A for column Seq_A, B for column Seq_B, C for column Seq_C. All four columns have sortkey positions set; 1 for id, 2 for Seq_A, 3 for Seq_B and 4 for column SEQ_C.
It seems like the id column's pivot usage is not set to 1 like it should but when I check it is 1.
I also have several other pivot transforms in the same data flow and they are working as expected.
I have a suspicion that there is some hidden meta data that is messed up that is over-ridding my settings (just my guess) I have deleted this transform and re-done it several times, checking each configuration value, but still getting the same result.
I have a Pivot Transform in SSIS (2005) working perfectly, EXCEPT for that the first column of the output (the date) repeats for each of the following columns, which are themselves falling into the correct column, but not on the same line for a particular date as the others. Snipet of result from Data Viewer is:
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?
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.
Can I force the following measure to be visible for all rows in a pivot table?
Sales Special Visibility:=IF( Â Â HASONEVALUE(dimSalesCompanies[SalesCompany]) Â Â ;IF( Â Â Â Â VALUES(dimSalesCompanies[SalesCompany]) = "Sales" Â Â Â Â ;CALCULATE([Sales];ALL(dimSalesCompanies[SalesCompany])) Â Â Â Â ;[Sales] Â Â ) Â Â ;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])))
I have data in my Powerpivot window which was generated by a sql query. This data includes a field named 'Cost' and every row shows a value for 'Cost' greater than zero. The problem is that when I display this data in the pivot table all entries for Cost display as $0. At first I thought that maybe Cost was set to a bogus data type (such as 'text) but it is set to ''Decimal Number' so that's not the problem.Â
What is happening and how do I fix it so that my pivot table reflects the values for 'Cost'?
I have a data table that contains budget and actual data by month. Â I use the data to create a pivot that shows actual results next to budgeted results. Â I need a column that shows that variance between those columns. Â I think my issue is that the "Type" field contains actual and Budget. Â I sum on "Type". Â I can't seem to create a sum since those items are in the same field or am I missing something?
How to get a list of values to actually display in correct order in either a slicer or when on an axis on a pivot table?
I currently have the below list and have tried to add a preceding numeric (ex. "1. <=0") or preceding blank space, neither of which is visually great. Is there another way?
I am using excel 2010 and creating pivot table from Power Pivot. I created a pivot table with department slicers. All is good, the problem I am having is whilst in an unfiltered position (ALL) of the slicers (departments) I get 200 pages, now when I click on a given department with say 10 pages, I still get the same 200 pages with the first 10 pages showing the data from the clicked department and 190 blank pages.
All I want is to get a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) of what is on the screen as my print, but I am getting extra blank pages right after the data. Â How do I resolve this.
Below are the steps I go thru to printÂ
1. Select slicers in unfiltered position (ALL) 2. Select entire pivot table 3. Select Page layout and select print area. 4. Save 5. Click on Print Preview to preview the print 6. Click on a given department in the slicer and repeat item 5, but this gives me blank pages after the data.
I am using the pivot task to to a pivot of YTD-Values and after that I use derived columns to calculate month values and do a unpivot then.
All worked fine, but now I get this error message:
[ytd_pivot [123]] Error: Duplicate pivot key value "6".
The settings in the advanced editor seem to be correct (no duplicate pivot key value) and I am extracting the data from the source sorted by month.
Could it be a problem that I use all pivot columns (month 1 to 12) in the derived colum transformation and they aren´t available at this moment while data extracting is still going on?
We have 2 servers when you try to change something in a transfer for sql to a text file, it crashes and kicks you out of enterprise manager. I have seen this before. MS recommends applying sp4 or MS03-031: Cumulative Security Patch for SQL Server (815495) This is on a cluster. Has anyone seen this before
When we migrated from SQL 6.5 to 7.0 our users that had DBO privileges moved fine. When we went in and added a new user and tried to give them the same priviledges as the old user, the user looks different and does not have the same priviliges. When the user tries to run the SETUSER stored procedure it tell the user that was newly setup that they do not have the rights to perform the operation. Any help with be greatly appreciated.
We are network admins at a college, with no database experience at all. We use an Altiris product which uses SQL to maintain a database. Our database is OK, but the transaction log has grown to 24 Gb and has caused a slowdown. When we try to back up the database in preparation for shrinking it to the recommended 100 Mb, the server seems to start the backup but crashes (restarts) after a few minutes. Has the situation got out of hand i.e. with files so big, is our server never going to be able to work with it? Or are we missing something obvious?
Any information on resolving the situation gratefully received, thanks in advance.
I am using the DTS wizard to import tables from an AS/400. Some of the tables in the job are quite large and Sql Server either hangs up or completely crashes. My current configuration is WIN NT, SP4.0 SQL Server 7.0 no Service pack. Any suggestions?
I've jumped over from the sister site xtremevbtalk.com to ask the question:
Has anyone ever seen an issue where when installing MSDE, during the installation the pc reboots of its own accord?
After the MDAC is installed as part of the installation the pc reboots and upon boot up, MSDE is not in the program files directory. Instead it's sitting in the C: root. This occurs for a straight MSDE install or with an Instancename install.
There does exist a Microsoft SQL Server folder in the Program Files but it is incomplete. It's missing the Binn folder. Also, there is no reference to MSDE in the Add/Remove programs tool but ther MSDE service does show up in the Services. However I cannot start these as they are pointing to the correct location.
To date, I have tried removing the instance and installation from the registry. I have turned off all AntiVirus software. I have ensured I am using an Admin user profile. I have tried a blank sa passowrd for the installation. all of this is to no avail.
I am seriously stuck with this now and I am in dire need of a resolution so if anybody has any ideas or has seen this one before, I love some help.
I can open a single connection to the database engine successfully but if I try to open another connection ('New Query' or 'query with current connection') Management Studio just goes away without any errors.
I am utilizing a remote desktop connection to the server but if I open a connection from my desktop through Management Studio I can establish multiple connections (database engine, query, etc...) with no problems. There are no errors in the sql logs, event viewer or windows log.
Has anyone seen this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
My application uses sqldmo to retrieve the list of sql servers in thenetwork, it works fine in some machines, but it is crashing theapplication in others, no error and no exception, it shuts down theapplication. It fails in the following line:SQLDMO.NameList sqlServers = sqlApp.ListAvailableSQLServers();any ideas?thanksmusachy
I was looking to improve the performance of an ASP.NET application bycreating the an indexed view that could be used instead of some of theroot tables.What I didn't realize is that it would affect any future conenctionsto the root tables.This of course crashed the application on any type of insert, update,or delte from the root tables.Funny thing is when I removed the indexed view -- it didn't help.I tried flipping the offending options to the opposite of way theywere set on the database and the errors wouldn't go away.I ended up restoring the database from before my mess up to fix it.I was hoping that the SQL experts out there might shed some light onmy problem before I try again.
Currently we have SQL Server running on a single RAID5 array.The data and the logs are all written to this array. We don'thave huge volume of activity, but it is growing. Most activityis from our website that interacts a lot with the database.We have read that it is a good idea to separate the data filesfrom the log files, having each on separate disks (or in thecase of RAID, separate arrays). So, we are considering addinga separate SCSI hard drive, or maybe a RAID 1 system, and havesql server log to that instead.My question is, what happens if that secondary drive or arraycompletely fails. Let's say it melts. Assuming the OS doesn'tcrash (Windows 2003 Server), what will SQL Server 2000 do whenthe drive stops working and it is trying to write its datalogging to it? Will it continue to function and write alertevents? Will it shutdown? If it shuts down, how do we alter itsconfiguration to tell it to use another drive for the logs?Also, what kind of throughput would we need to be doing to seeany kind of benefit to making this change? It is easier tojustify the expense of another disk or RAID setup if it isactually going to matter. ;-)Thanks all!Thomas
