Calculated Measure Grand Total has #Value!

   I created a calculated measure that based upon dates pulls back a different measure. It works but Grand Total
doesn't display in Browser shows error above in title. When  I pull these measure into Browser I can see that for the
months that don't apply to in logic they are empty and I wondered if that what was throwing of Grand Total. I tried using
the IsEmpty and set it to Null or 0 but didn't change Grand Total.

IIF(ISEMPTY([month part] >= [Current Month].[Measures].[Current Forecast]) or ISEMPTY([month part] < [Current Month].[Measures].[Qty Shipped]),0,
IIF([month part] >= [Current Month],[Measures].[Current Forecast],[Measures].[Qty Shipped]))

Calculation for Last Value in a Date Range

Hi all,

I am trying to create a Calculation that will always return the last value for a date range ...

Something like the following:

MemBer [Measures].[Last WorkIn] as 
([Date].[Date].LastChild, [Measures].[Work In])

SELECT {[Measures].[Last WorkIn]} ON COLUMNS
FROM Cube
WHERE ( [Workgroup].[Workgroup].&[724], [Date].&[20150909] : [Date].&[20150916] )

As always with MDX, I feel I am missing something silly! :)

Thanks in advance!

Keith.

How to improve the reads from OLTP reprocessing Dimensions Attributes in SSAS?

Hello

I'm working to reduce the time that we spend to reprocess our SSAS cube.

The slowest part is processing the dimensions (Process Update or Process Add), in specific the bottleneck is when SSAS is reading from OLTP. When I open profiler I can see the event "Read Data" and the column "Integer Data" increases in chunks of 10,000. Based on this I have the following questions:

1. Does SSAS read and write data in chunks of 10,000?

2. How can I increase that number?

3. Any suggestions to improve the performance?

PS I already created indexes in the source tables and increased the ThreadPool\Process\MAX Threads 

Thanks in advance

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to find out the MDX code which will permit me to display
my top 10 client and their rank the year before.
For example Let say I am in ADW DW database and I want something like this:

TOP 10 Clients

Customer - rank 2008 -  rank 2007
customer1 -  1 - 6
customer2 -  2 - 25
customer3 -  3 - 12
customer4 -  4 - 1
customer5 -  5 - 2
customer6 -  6 - 6
customer7 -  7 - 4
customer8 -  8 - 15
customer9 -  9 - 5
customer10 -  10 - 35

Meaning that customer1 is in the 1st place on 2008 and was on 2007 in the 6 postion.

Hello All,

My Greetings for the day!!!

I have developed a Sales cube which holds data for multiple countries for eg- Denmark, Spain and France.

We have defined roles to restrict the users to view the data of there respective countries.

When a Denmark user connects the cube to view sales person wise data through excel/ sharepoint/ ssrs. He can see all sales person names for the 3 countries in theFILTER.

We don't want to show them these Sales person name rather than respective countries.

Can you please suggest me ?

Custom Aggegations on Parent Child Dimension

Morning All,

I have a parent child dimension(where no specific levels defined). The leaf level calculation is division. But I need to summed up at the non-leaf levels(higher levels) . I used Isleaf function to differentiate leaf and non-leaf levels to apply the scope calculations. But the performance is very poor.

I cannot use Leaves() function as I need this aggregation to be worked on multiple hierarchies in multiple dimensions.(Because I see only the latest scopes will be considered here!!!??)

Is there any other way to (block method) differentiate leaf and non-leaf levels in parent child dimension?

Thanks in Advance and Best Regards,

Export Tabular model

SQL 2014

We have a crazy request that we need to find a solution to for business reasons, no matter how dumb it might sound.  We need to export a tabular model.  We'd prefer to not simply export the fact tables as we'd like to be able to export the calculations too. The end result is to take our tabular model and consume it in Wave Analytics.

I've searched high and low and can't seem to find a way to do it.  Is it possible?  If it's possible to somehow do a "select *" in MDX or some other way, can you please tell me how to do it?

Thanks in advance.

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error occurs when trying to edit or open a named query

I’m going through the MS SQL Server SSIS Step by Step book from Microsoft Press and I think I have an issue with my install of MS SQL Server.  On the first exercise, the book instructs you to open an existing project and then open a data source view from the project.  The data source view contains several table objects and a named query object.  When I right-click on the named query object and then choose ‘Edit Named Query …’, I get a pair of ‘Object reference not set to an instance of an object’ errors.  This also happens if I double-click on the object itself.

 

I created a blank project.  Then I created a Data Source View and populated it with tables from an existing database using the wizard.  When I tried to add a new named query I got the same error.

 

Is there a configuration error here?  So far all of the other functions have worked normally.

 

SQL Server 2005 Developer - SP2 (all patches applied) (SQL Server 2005 Evaluation exhibits the same error)

Alll servers are logging on as localsystem

How to Uninstall/reinstall OLEDB providers for Analysis Services

May 14, 2015, 4:24 am

Hi

I'm running into big problems trying to run Power[anything] in Excel.  PowerPivot, PowerQuery, PowerMap just crash Excel - as soon as I do anything from the PowerPivot toolbar (e.g. just press "Manage").  Sometimes they crash Excel on startup.  They also crash Excel when I attempt to disable them through Options\Addins.

Excel is also refusing to play nice with OLAPPIvotTableExtensions, an excellent tool that I could really do with using in my job.  It crashes Excel on startup unless disabled.

I've tried every kind of install/uninstall, of Excel itself, of the various PowerX components.

One proposed solution here suggests uninstalling the PowerX components, and then:

2) Manually deleting the C:\Program Files (x86) \Microsoft Analysis Services\ + all its sub-folders/contents. Also check for C:\Program Files\Microsoft Analysis Services\;

I'm not comfortable with doing that.  As far as I can tell these files have nothing to do with the operation of my instance of SSAS (2014, local machine): they seem to be the OLEDB providers.  But simply deleting folders under C:\Program Files just causes major hassle in my experience.

I'd like to completely uninstall all the OLEDB providers for SSAS and then install the ones I need.  (At the moment I have folders called10, 110 and 120 in both locations: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Analysis Services, and in the equivalent Program files (x86) location).

I've found this page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2735567 which seems to allow me to download the OLEDB providers.  (No 2014 link on that page, but I guess I can find it)

But how do I uninstall them first?  They don't appear in the Control Panel list of installed software.  I might be able to uninstall the SQL2014 version through SQL3014 Setup (at the moment it's asking me for installation media... will have to download it again from MSDN); but as for the 2012 and 2008R2 versions, I've no idea where the install/uninstall is.

Approach for Self Service BI

Hi All,

I have a requirement where in Business users would like to create a report on the database. I am considering following approach, Please suggest in case of any better approach or Please correct me if there is any problem with the below approach.

First approach: creating SQL view and exposing it for users to consume but the problem is data is very big and i see that users will see performance problem.

I am considering creating either multidimensional (Second Approach) or tabular (Third) model to overcome performance issue with the first approach.

I am seeing the following problem with these approaches

1) user may want to analyze by any dimension so i would need to bring in all the tables and all the columns from the database and it would have huge performance issue.

2) In case of  multidimensional cube approach : Suppose some how i create a data model and expose it for users to consume it and allow users to create reports using SSRS builder, then one potential problem which i am seeing is that if users want to create a parameterized report then they would need to learn MDX to create data set for parameter and use it (Please correct me if i am wrong).( Excel is not the option as user need to share this report with other company people using ASP.NET page , If we can allow users to access the excel report in ASP.Net please let me know the approach)

3) I never work on tabular model, so i am not sure whether it is worth spending time on learn and checking that technology for this business scenario.

Thanks in advance.

Excel failed to refresh from Analysis services- connection Timeout expired error

Hi Team,

I am facing excel pivot refresh issues while connecting with Analysis services Multidimensional model. Details below,

1) I am trying to drag and drop the measure value from field list which is having Distinct count as measure calculation in cube. After 40 seconds of the refresh the Excel is throwing the error "The connection timeout was exceeded"

2) Traced query which is running in the backend and ran separately in the SQL browser of the particular cube. It is running for about 9 mins and providing the results. 9 mins is acceptable during the excel refresh. 

NOTE: Rarely it is getting refreshing for about 10 mins but most of the cases it is getting failed within 40 seconds with "timeout exceeded" error.

Option tried: 

Provided the Timeout=360000 in the excel Analysis connection string, but no luck it is throwing error within 1 minute but I can see the queries are submitting perfectly fine in the backend but once the error thrown at the excel end it is getting stopped at that point in the profiler.

Any pointers is really appreciated.

Hi,

I have an SSAS Tabular cube that generally preforms well.  However if when creating a query in Power BI, if a user is filtering a column and there are no results returned than the query runs for several hours and the CPU of the server will stay at about 27% CPU usage, if there is no other load on the system.  However the same query if they filter a column  and the value exists in the column than the query returns in under a second. The model has no partitions, but it is relatively small.  The table in question is 2.5Million rows and the total model size is .5 GB. Does anyone have any clue what is going on?

Thanks!
