what security measures should I take to restrict access on sql server 2005 from LAN and WAN. I am using local Ip address to connect Sql server. Security measure should be so strong that unauthorized user can not access my database.
Any help will be appreciated.

I have an old model that unfortunately had to be re-establish.Â
In order to save time, I thought that I can export all my measures and paste it as measures in my new model.Â
I used the following technique to export the measures from the old file: [URL] ....
How to use the output and create the identical measures in my new model, without the need to manually write each one of them?
Hello.
i have dimensions: month, country, customer, item.
measures: amount, price.
i would like to get such result :
for each customer from USA: sum (amount of item in June * price for the same
item in January).
is it possible?
thank you for your help, Mike.
Hi,
I would like to create a report on a cube with Report Server (Query Builder) with one dimension in columns and the "measures" dimension members in rows:
Jan Feb Mar ...
Measure1 10 12 14
Measure2 20 22 24
..
How to create with either Tabular or Matrix report type?
Thanks,
Marcus
I made a number of dimension and calculated member mods and notice that all now no base or calculated measures display values, they just show blanks in the browser and query window. To try to isolate, I've
(1) removed every dimension and calculated member
(2) verified there are no defaultmembers for dimensions
(3) verified there are no dimension attributes set to IsAggregatable = False
(4) verified there are no deploy or script errors
(5) fully processed every dm and fact
(6) verified there are dim and claim records loaded with values in all appropriate columns
When I process the cube, it shows that rows are read, etc... All that looks normal. Just when I browse or query, all measures display as blanks or nulls.
What could cause this behavior? Any ideas on how to futher isolate? I can go to a backup but very concerned that this can happen with no error messages or warnings, so I want to find the cause.
I have a problem where I have 3 three measures in a virtual cube:
"Actual", "Budget" and "Full Year Budget".
The dimensions I have are:
- Account No_ / Name
- Cost Code
- Sub Cost Code
- Time/Dates
- Budget Name
Both "Actual" & "Budget" measures need to be filtered/dimensioned by:
- Account No_ / Name
- Cost Code
- Sub Cost Code
- Time/Dates (exclusive to "Actual", "Budget")
Thus have put these in one cube
AND "Full Year Budget" needs to be filtered/dimensioned by:
- Account No_ / Name
- Cost Code
- Sub Cost Code
- Budget Name (exclusive to "Full Year Budget")
THUS have put this as one cube…
I then created a virtual cube, with the 2 cubes thinking that the dimensions I created in the original cubes would only filter the measures of the original cube measures in the virtual cube. ...BUT all dimension filters in the virtual cube filter all measures in the virtual cube, irrespective of which dimensions were created with the original cubes.
please help!
I have a cumulative measure in Tabular, and when I filter by a date in SQL it brings back all rows up to that date. However, when I drill down on any of the numbers, it only brings back rows related to the filtered date, and not the cumulative rows. Is there any way round this at all? Major obstacle for me at the moment...
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am facing some problem in calculating Median
I am trying to calculate the median value using one of the measures and a dimension value.
Time is a measure in my cube and OpId is one of the dimensions.The result is as follows:
opid time median
1 55
2 23
3 23
Total 23
The Time here for Op Id 1 is the aggregation for all the rows whose OpId is 1.I want the median of the values whose OpId is 1 which is not showing at the moment.
What I am getting here is the median for all of the OpId but what I really want is the median for each of the individual Opid's as well.
I am using a calculated field Median with the following expression.

hello at every body.. well i have a problem. i want to create a report which will present two measures vued with the same dimsneion but with different values.for example i want to present sales bu country and i want to present at the report the sales for the US and the sales for UK at the same time
indicator1=([Measures].[sales],[country].[UK]),
indicator2=([Measures].[sales],[country].[US]).
Further more i want to create two parameters which take the same values in order to change the values of indicators..
i have creted the datasets for the parameters and the parameters but i don't know how to code the main data set in order to change the values of indicator 1 with the values of parameter 1 and the values of indicator 2 with the values of parameter 2
thank u for your responce
Hello,
My report, which has a matrix and a chart work fine. Then...
I click on the Data tab, drag a measure into the results grid. At this point I haven't added the new measure to the matrix or anything in Layout.
I click the Preview tab and get the following message: "The definition of the report XXX is invalid. More than one data set, data region, or grouing in the report has the name 'YYY'. Data set, data region and grouping names must be unique within a report.
Ok, I get the point. But why and how would adding a measure give me this issue? Where can I even find where this is being duplicated?
The message refers to a name that is a parameter, and I don't see anything in there that might cause this.
Thank you for the help.

Actually I want to do distinct sum on a measure group, please find the below table as sample
XL Measure group
LKÂ Â Â Â OKÂ Â Â Â Â Amount
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 10Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 11Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 30Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 31Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 32Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
For the above measure group two dimensions have relationships, One is L dimension which is having relationship with XL on LK and One is O dimension which is having relationship with XL on OK. If I drag L dimension attributes  it should show results as below
LK LName Amount
1Â Â Â Â AÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
3Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
But above results are coming as below
LK LName Amount
1Â Â Â Â AÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 200
3Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 750
If I drag O dimension attributes along with L dimension, it should show results as below.
LK  LName  OK     OKName  Amount
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â AÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 10Â Â Â Â Â Â XYZÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â AÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 11Â Â Â Â Â Â UVWÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 30Â Â Â Â Â Â PQRÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 31Â Â Â Â Â KLMÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â CÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 32Â Â Â Â Â TUVÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250
I used formula Measures.Amount/Measures.Count, this formula is not showing correct results when I don't drag any dimensions, it is showing results for All member as 425, but it should show as 350.
So I made a same change ([L].[LK].Currentmember, Measures.Amount)/([L].[LK].Currentmember,Measures.Count), this worked fine but performance is very low and so stopped working on this.
Atlast I did the measure group like this
LK    OK     LAmount  OAmount
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 10Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 11Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 30Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 300Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 300
3Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 31Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 300
I want to show Measures.LAmount when only L dimension is querying and want to show OAmount when both L dimension and O dimension are querying. Is this possible ?
I am pretty new to MDX and am having trouble getting what I need out of this MDX query. Some business rules:
Gross Amount applies to all clients, whether Type A or Type B. Â I always want to return Gross Amount.Some clients are Type A, some are Type B, some are both, and some are neither.There are Type A Net Amount and Type B Net Amount values for all clients, but I only want to display the Type A Net value if the client is a Type A client, only Type B if the client is a Type B, or both for both, and neither for neither. Â I would like to return blank/null, not $0.00, for those values that should not be displayed.
Here's the basic query. Â
SELECT { [Measures].[Gross Amount],
[Measures].[Type A Net Amount],
[Measures].[Type B Net Amount]
} ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY {[Dim Client].[Parent Client Code].[Parent Client Code] *
[Dim Client].[Child Client Code].[Child Client Code] *
[Dim Client].[Is Type A].CHILDREN *
[Dim Client].[Is Type B].CHILDREN
} ON ROWS
FROM ClientInfo
Here's the DESIRED output........
I'm trying to show measures from 2 measures groups in a drillthrough. Obviously, it's not possible with a standard drillthrough action, but I still hope that I can somehow achieve this with the ASSP GetCustomDrillthroughMDX function.
Speaking in AdventureWorks2008R2 terms: Imagine I have a pivot table with Product Categories in filter (say, filtered on Gloves) and "Internet Sales Amount" as measure. From context menu in Excel I can call the drillthrough action which shows me the individual sales records. I would like to show in drillthrough additionally "End of Day Rate" measure from "Exchange Rates" measure group.
One option would be to join FactInternetSales with FactCurrencyRate and make EndOfDayRate a physical measure in the "Internet Sales" measure group. This is a pretty huge overhead for my scenario and I'd like to avoid this.
Another one would be to call something completely external for a drillthrough (for example, a SRRS Report).
Wondering if anyone has any work arounds.
We have a cube that has financial data in it. There are report actions on cells. I want them to be able to drill through the the supporting data stored in the fact table and all the measures I am showing are calculated measures.
Users connect to this cube from Excel 2007. If they use a "Filter" in Excel and do not select "All" or "One" of the members of the filter hierarchy, then the action dissapears. Microsoft explained this is because that cell then has a calculated cordinate and they can't determine the action to perform.
Has anyone experienced a need to do this? Can you provide me alternatives?
Thanks
[Edit]
The functionality I am looking for is not available in the BIDS either (Well it is to a point--if you select the first 2, 3, 4...members in the filter, the action will still appear. It only reads the first one however. If you select the members starting with any but the first, the action disappears).

Hi,
I am having the requirement where I have to use string as measures. Is this possible in Analysis services 2K.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated
I've 2 measures that I would like to swap according to which member in a dimension are selected by the user:Ex.
[Measure].[A]
[Measure].[B]
Dimension called TEMP with 2 members (HOT and COLD).So if the user choose HOT it should show [Measure].[A] and if the user choose COLD it should show [Measure].[B]If the dimension is not included in the analysis by the user or if no dimension attribute are choosed then it should default to [Measure].[A].How to do that as Calculated Script in the SSAS cube ?
I have a fact table with one column storing string values. I need to use this column as a measure, but as different measure. Here's a snapshot of the fact ( with 4 columns)
#1 #2 #3 #4(value)

2 1 2007-12-20 French
1 2 2007-12-20 Female
2 2 2007-12-20 English
I have a dimension which is like
id name
1 Gender
2 Language
Is there a way to get measures from column 4 in fact table - so that I can give reports like how gender graph during a time period or language usage during a time period. The design will have more than 2 dimension members, so fact column can hold more data like location, etc...
Can you please suggest a way to handle such kind of fact table?
When I try to create a measure based on that column (and 'no aggregation') - I get error like - "Error 1 Errors in the metadata manager. The data type of the 'value' measure is not valid because the data type of the measure is a string type."
Thanks,
Chandra
is there a way to create parameterized FYTD and LFYTD measures and avoid hardcoding fiscal year end date in the DATESYTD function ?
I have tried using both VALUES and LOOKUPVALUE to retrieve fiscal year end date inside DATESYTD, but it apparantly only accepts a literal.I have created a Calendar table with e.g. FiscalYearIndex which is 0 for current fiscal year dates and was thinking somthing with CALCULATE and a filtered Calendar table based on FiscalYearIndex = 0.

This is so trivial but I cannot figure out where the calculated fields/measures area is in the PP window. Is there something to toggle it on and off? I used PP in Excel 2013 before and the area I'm talking about was at the bottom of the PP window. Now I'm with a new company who has Excel 2010 so I downloaded the PP add-in for Excel 2010. It is version 10.50.4000.0. This add-in does not have a calculated fields/measures are at the bottom of the PP window. Is it just a matter of 2010 vs. 2013 or is there a way to turn the frame area I'm talking about on?

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?
For some of my calculations it is mandatory to get the first and the last date, filtered by the slicer type "timeline".
This works well as long as the date is not used on rows or columns ...
As soon as I'm using theDate within the rows this very simplistic dax measure doesn't work ...
I'm wondering how to determine the StartDate (from the timeline) and the EndDate (from the timeline) when "thedate" is actively contributing to the filtercontext.
In my opinion it is not another example of the "event in progress" situation, due to the fact that start and end dates are actively selected by the user and can not be derived from within the date model.

large tabular cubes (SSAS 2012 SP2), with lots of calculations, the keyboard seems to be stuck, one cannot type or make any modifications to any measures, even after closing a project.
The only workaround is to completely restart the machine. Â Using Visual Studio 2010 Shell.
Are there any possibly corruptions or calc limitations that one should be aware of?
Notable that this never happens with any small cubes, but just with the largest cube that we have, that has probably tens of calcs. Â

I've created a cube and it processed fine. The calculate command is there. The measure that I'm attempting to run in the SSAS/Visual Studios browser is simply a count rows measure. When I drag the measure to the window, it says no rows available. If I click on the filter that allows nulls, the only change it makes is that it goes from no rows available to "NULL".Â

Hi,
I have posted this issue for a week, haven't got any reply yet, I posted it again and desperately need your help.
The article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365343.aspx says:
Model Item Security can be set for differnt security filters, but when I use SQL Server Management Studio to set Model Item Security, it seems "Permissions" property surpass "Model Item Security" property. -- My report server is using Custom Authentication.
For example, in "Permissions" property of the model, if I checked "Use these roles for each group or user account" without setting any user or group, no matter what users I added to "Model Item Security" with "Secure individual model items independently for this model" checked, NO one user can see the model on report manager and report builder;
in above situation, if I added "user1" and gave role such as "Browser" role to "user1" in "Permissions" property, if I checked "Secure individual model items independently for this model" in "Model Item Security" property, even I did NOT grant "user1" to root model and any entities under the model, the "user1" is able to access the model and all entities in report builder.
My question is on the same report model, how to set "AdminFilter" (empty security filter) for administrator permissions and set "GeneralFilter" (filtered on UserID) for general user based on their UserID?
The article also says:
"Security filters are always applied, even for users who have Content Manager or Administrator permissions to the model. To allow administrators or other users to see all rows of an entity on which row-level security is defined, you can create an empty security filter (which always returns True) and then use the filter to grant those users access to all the rows."
So I defined 2 filters "GeneralFilter" and "AdminFilter" for "Staff" entity for my report model "SSRSModel", I expect after I deployed the report model, the administrator users use report builder to build reports with all rows available, and the non-admin users can only see rows based on their UserID.
I can only get one result at a time but not both:
either the rows are filtered or not filtered at all, no matter how I set the "SecurityFilter" for the entity: I tried setting both "AdminFilter" and "GeneralFilter" for SecurityFilter at the same time, combination of "DefaultSecurityFilter" and "SecurityFilter", or one at a time.
Your help is highly appreciated!
