I have Date dimension and Customer dimensions. Also i have Sale amount Measure.

As per user In SSAS Browser, we need to create with new measure of Average of Sale amount as per the date. 

For example if user selected/Filtered for particular two or three days it has to display average of those two days or three days AverageSaleAmount respectively. If user select/filtered date range per month it has to display month average.

Can you please suggest.

I have used the below Expression, but In Excel Pivot Report if I applied the filters which measure isn't working. 

Any ideas please!

Thanks

I have a fact table and a dimension that are link via say account id. 

My dimension processes and I can browse it. But the fact has account id's that are not in the dimension 

I have 2 dimensions based or build from SQL views. The views are a subset of accounts say account type = Income is one view and one dimension and the other view would be account type = GPM with it's own dimension.

so the fact data with account id would be in one of the 2 dimensions. 

I want to be able to see all the GPM dimension members with fact data and if there isn't a member it would appear in the unknown member. I have set up the fact to KeyNotFound = Ignore 

the dimension GPM has NUllProcessing = UnknownMember 

when I browse the cube I only see a value next to Unknown and the other members of the dimension don't appear but I know they have links into the fact data. When I run a query in sql and join the fact and dimension via account id I get rows. 

in excel I get this

HI 

i am trying to create a measure in one of our tabular cube to calculate YTD for Total balance. This is the function i am using for that. 

TOTALYTD(SUM(TOT_BAL), 'Trasaction'[Transaction Date]) 

The date key we are getting from FACT table is numeric and it is joined to DATE dimension and I am using the date column from Date dimension table in the TOTALYTD function. 

Everything is working to be fine but the total YTD caluculation is getting started from 12/31 of the prev year itself. for example.

Date                TOT_BAL    TOT_BAL_YTD      EXPECTED_YTD

1/10/2017       2000               2000               2000

2/10/2017        5000              7000               7000

12/10/2017        0                  7000               7000

12/31/2017        0                    5000              7000

1/1/2018         5000              5000                 5000

The 12/31/2017 date should have 7000 but it is taking next year first value as bal amount. 

Can some let me know how to resolve this issue.

Hi,

I am running the following MDX query and I think the query runs slow, it takes 8 seconds for 28462 rows and 9 columns.
The raw fact data is about 1.000.000 rows containing data on a monthly base over two years (24 months).

According to my SQL Profile trace the formula engine takes 99% of the time to execute, the storage engine only 1%.

I allready did the following:

1. Usage Based Optimization Aggregation and checked if the aggregation is used in SQL Profiler (this is the case).
2. Tried to rewrite the MDX in differente way's.
3. Set NON EMPTY BEHAVIOR on the calculated measure.
4. Checked the configratution of my DateTime dimension
5. Checked attribute relationships

According to this article: https://sqldusty.com/2014/03/07/do-you-know-why-your-mdx-query-is-slow/ my MDX query is not optimal because the formula engine takes most of the time calculating the results.
At the moment I don't know why it's taking 8 seconds and what I can do to improve the performance.
The query should run withing preferably <= 3 seconds so the SSRS reports is available within an acceptable time.

The server has 4 vCores + 24GB Memory.

hello folks, I have what I think may be a fairly basic modeling question that the solution is eluding me and was hoping the experts in this forum may be able to lend a help.

I have the following

dimMember  with member_sk
factSales      with member_sk
bridgeReasons   with member_sk and SalesReason    (a member_sk may have many SalesReasons records).

I'd like to connect bridgeReasons in such a way that if I select one or more SalesReasons, all relevant dimMember and implicitly factSales records would be filtered.

not sure if this needs bi-directional relationships or an SSAS version beyond 2014.

thanks much for any pointers to any solutions or white papers,

Dear All,

I have updated a data source view of a cube solution with an updated (which contained couple of two new columns) and some of the properties of the some existing columns has changed in the code. I am not sure if I did somthing knowly.

Here are couple of examples:

Original  code:

<xs:element name="AGEGROUP_ID" msdata:ReadOnly="true" msprop:design-time-name="e21b0b4d-69da-4a06-bc7a-c7f9b8411077" msprop:DbColumnName="AGEGROUP_ID" msprop:FriendlyName="AGEGROUP_ID" type="xs:int" />

Updated code:

<xs:element name="AGEGROUP_ID"                         msprop:design-time-name="a2866c34-f3d7-4051-9647-adf092b10af2"  msprop:DbColumnName="AGEGROUP_ID"                    type="xs:int" minOccurs="0" />

Can anyone tell me, where can I find/change the follwoing properties in the GUI:?

msdata:ReadOnly="true"

msprop:FriendlyName="AGEGROUP_ID

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Tahir

Thanks, TA

Hi, i need help on SSAS translations not appearing on PBI Desktop and on Excel:

Context: Im in Portugal working for French company. I use PBI/Excel in a Windows VM with Regional Portuguese settings (i don't know if there is some French setup somewhere in the system), and developing in SSDT/SSAS in another Windows VM with Regional French settings.
As the language by default in SSDT is in this case fr-FR (with a bad mix of french/english attribute names used), it doesn't appear as option in Tabular translator tool (i think this is the reason), so i'm trying a clean French translation in pt-PT, so that i can test on my VM. Sorry, maybe too much information, but maybe the problem is somewhere in the settings...

So, I've used Tabular translator to create a clean French translation associated to the pt-PT "locale", but the translation didn't appear on the Excel on my system, i had to force the LocaleIdentifier=2070 (for Portugal) on the Excel connection and then it appeared with the changes. Though this is not Excel forum, does someone know or have any idea why do i have to force the LocaleIdentifier?Basically, if i don't force this attribute on the  connection on Excel, translations don't work.

In PBI Desktop, the same is happening - I can't see the translations associated to my language, and as i'm connected to a SSAS tabular, i can't change the settings in the PBI report file...how can i change them????

Thank you and best regards.

Hello!

I am trying to create a calculated measure in MDX to count the number of customers who have purchased (Sales Amount> 0) in the current month. But I would like to create a measure that I could also use to perform the same count in the YTD and YTD-1 analyzes.

I tried to query the form below, but it returns the static value, does not change the value according to the time filter as I need it:

Member [Measures].[CountCustomer] as 
Count(Filter([Customer].[Customer].[Customer].Members,[Measures].[Sales Amount] > 0))

Would you have a suggestion of how I could perform this count so that the calculated measure could also be used in a query that returns different periods of time?

In populating the slice property for some partitions within SSAS 2008 R2, I want to slice by two attributes in different dimensions - [Dim Date].[Hierarchy].[Fiscal Year] and [Dim Case Events].[Event Description].

For one partition I set the where clause in the partition query to "DateKey BETWEEN 20091001 AND 20100930 AND CaseEventKey = 1" and set the corresponding slice property to "([Dim Date].[Hierarchy].[Fiscal Year].&[2010], [Dim Case Events].[Event Description].&[1])"  This works correctly for this partition based on one fiscal year and one caseeventkey. 

For another partition, I set the where clause in the partition query to "DateKey between 20051001 and 20090930 and CaseEventKey = 1" for one CaseEventKey across four fiscal years. I have tried several approaches to building the proper syntax for the corresponding slice property, but have not been successfull.  What seemed the most logical to me was the expression

{
([Dim Date].[Hierarchy].[Fiscal Year].&[2006], [Dim Case Events].[Event Description].&[1]),
([Dim Date].[Hierarchy].[Fiscal Year].&[2007], [Dim Case Events].[Event Description].&[1]),
([Dim Date].[Hierarchy].[Fiscal Year].&[2008], [Dim Case Events].[Event Description].&[1]),
 ([Dim Date].[Hierarchy].[Fiscal Year].&[2009], [Dim Case Events].[Event Description].&[1])
}

which returned the error: "arbitrary shape of the sets is not allowed in the current context."

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Running SQL Profiler while refreshing an Excel PivotTable that runs for several minutes revealed how poorly performing the MDX is that Excel is constructing. Can someone answer why the MDX is this poor? Using an example against the Adventure Works database, the following query is used to populate a PivotTable.

SELECT	{
		[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],
		[Measures].[Internet Order Quantity]
	} DIMENSION PROPERTIES 
		PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME,
		HIERARCHY_UNIQUE_NAME

				), 
				Hierarchize({DrilldownLevel({[Customer].[State-Province].[All Customers]},,,INCLUDE_CALC_MEMBERS)})
			), Hierarchize({DrilldownLevel({[Customer].[City].[All Customers]},,,INCLUDE_CALC_MEMBERS)})
		), Hierarchize({DrilldownLevel({[Customer].[Postal Code].[All Customers]},,,INCLUDE_CALC_MEMBERS)})
	) DIMENSION PROPERTIES

	FORMAT_STRING, 
	LANGUAGE, 
	BACK_COLOR, 
	FORE_COLOR, 
	FONT_FLAGS

If on the Display tab of the PivotTable Options dialog box, the Show Properties in Tooltips and Show calculated members from OLAP server are unchecked, the query is simplified but still extremely slow.

SELECT	{
		[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],
		[Measures].[Internet Order Quantity]
	} DIMENSION PROPERTIES 
		PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME,
		HIERARCHY_UNIQUE_NAME 
	ON COLUMNS ,

					Hierarchize({DrilldownLevel({[Customer].[Country].[All Customers]})})
				), 
				Hierarchize({DrilldownLevel({[Customer].[State-Province].[All Customers]})})
			), 
			Hierarchize({DrilldownLevel({[Customer].[City].[All Customers]})})
		), 
		Hierarchize({DrilldownLevel({[Customer].[Postal Code].[All Customers]})})
	) DIMENSION PROPERTIES 
		PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME,

FROM	[Adventure Works] 
CELL PROPERTIES 
	VALUE, 
	FORMAT_STRING, 
	LANGUAGE, 
	BACK_COLOR, 
	FORE_COLOR, 
	FONT_FLAGS

But that's not the true performance killer. Why is the Hierarchize(DrillDownLevel(......)) construct used? It's crazy stupid. The following query is well over 10 fold faster and it's not even all that good.

SELECT	{
		[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],
		[Measures].[Internet Order Quantity]
	} DIMENSION PROPERTIES 
		PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME,
		HIERARCHY_UNIQUE_NAME

Hi, im working with SSDTMicrosoft Visual Studio 2015 Shell (Integrated)
Version 14.0.23107.0 D14REL
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.6.01586
Installed Version: IDE Standard

connected to SSAS Tabular 2016.

Does it make any sense that in model translations fr_FR (French) doesn't appear, but a long list of other areas were French is spoken? My VM has French Regional settings, but the language in model.bin is English (US).

Hi guys i'm doing a count which is this: 

COUNT(Filter([Objectives100],
  [Measures].[Paid Value] = 100))

And what returns to me is all the count of the objectives substracting the objectives with a price different of 100. 

What returns:

TOTAL OBJECTIVES : 2972 | OBJECTIVES IN YEAR 2016 : 2961

And what it did is count all the objectives of all the time and substract only the 11 objectives that in the year 2016 were different of 100. 

To be more clear, for example in year 2019 all the objectives has a price of 100, so what it has to return is 182 (i know it because i counted it manually, was hard to me) but what returns is 2972 because is not substracting any objective with value different of 100 in 2019, hope you can help me guys thanks!
