DAX SELECTEDVALUE with RLS

December 30, 2019, 9:42 am
$
0
0

I have a scenario where some users need to be able to impersonate others and when they select the users they want to impersonate on a Power BI report the RLS should reflect their selection. I tried adding in SELECTEDVALUE to the RLS filter, however I only get back the Alternate Result, e.g.:

SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Staff'[Staff Name], "Unknown" )

If I add this as a measure to my Power BI report I receive the expected result when filtering Staff Name on a slicer.

I've also tried the following:

IF (ISFILTERED ( 'Staff'[Staff Name] ), VALUES('Staff'[Staff Name] ), "Unknown")

IF(HASONEVALUE('Staff'[Staff Name] ), VALUES('Staff'[Staff Name] ), "Unknown")

Is there a limitation when using these functions with SSAS 2017 RLS?


Thanks

Hello All,

  Am using the below scope to sum up all the selected state values into the all level .

scope([Geography].[State].[All],[Measures].[Nd Num 1]);
this=sum(existing([Geography].[State].[State]),[Measures].[Nd Num 1]);
end scope;

Even if i filter only one state at All level am getting the sum of all the states instead of the filtered states

Please not the aggregation type for [Nd Num 1] is Max and only across state am trying to sum it .

Can anyone please let me know the issue here.

Hi All,

I have a few questions as below,

1)Is there any other benefits in partitioning a tabular cube other than processing performance?

2)Would there be any effect on query performance?

3)If yes,how does the partition elimination works?Do we have to do that manually?

4)Is it possible to manually point a tableau/ssrs report to only select data from a certain partition and don't read other?

Can someone answer all my questions or point to right source where i can a quick read, so that I can have better idea please?

Thanks,

SSAS 2008 taking all server memory

September 26, 2010, 2:38 pm

We just upgraded to SSAS 2008 64 bit (and windows 2008 R2) a couple of weeks ago and now we have an issue that I can't seem to figure out.  Our cubes have not changed at all.  Previous to the upgrade we were running server 2003 and SSAS 2005 54 bit.

The issue is over the past week the SSAS servers have decided to take up almost all the memory (about 90%) on the server and render itself useless.  It is the SSAS service that is taking up almost all the memory and if I stop other services to free up some it just takes that up too.  So here is a break down of the issue and what I have tried.  The issue seems to be happening faster and faster now so I am at a loss currently.

Setup that has issue:

  • SSAS 2008 SP1 64 bit on SQL 2008 R2
  • Default configs as that worked previously in 2005
  • not structure changes
  • machine has 2 quad core procs and 16 GB mem
  • accessed via web calls and linked server on SQL server on different machine

What I have tried

  • install CU10 (due to other issue)
  • rebuild aggregations
  • reduce memory limits to 40% for low and 50% for max respectively

Results of what I have tried so far: memory still hits the 90% within 24 hours so that tells me the changes have done nothing.  I don't know what to do. 

I know that there are DMVs now in 2008 but have no idea how to access them. Is there anyway to find out what is taking up all the memory?  I am trying to find out if it is something in the website code that access the machine because when I point the websites to another SSAS machine (which eventually gets the issue too) the memory clears out after 15-20 min.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.  I am trying to avoid calling Microsoft unless absolutely necessary but it is on the options list.

Invoke-ProcessASDatabase database compatibility level of 1500 is below the minimal compatability level of 2147483647

Slightly curious one here, I have a Tabular Model deployed to Azure with compatibility level 1500 making use of Calculation Groups. Can process the model fine via SSMS but I have Runbook set up to automate the refresh the model using the Invoke-ProcessASDatabase cmdlet and am getting the error:

"The database compatibility level of 1500 is below the minimal compatability level of 2147483647 needed..."

My script is pretty simple and has worked fine for previous models on lower compatibility levels:

$AzureCred = Get-AutomationPSCredential -Name "MyCredential"
Add-AzureAnalysisServicesAccount -RolloutEnvironment 'xxxxx.asazure.windows.net' -ServicePrincipal -Credential $AzureCred -TenantId "XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX"
Invoke-ProcessASDatabase -Server "asazure://xxxxx.asazure.windows.net/xxxxx" -DatabaseName "XXXXX" -RefreshType Full

Anyone else come across this? My search yielded no results. Is this a bug or something I need to differently with the new model level?

Thanks

Few times, after restarting services & server sometimes it works and it not. We are not able to understand after deployment why it is not refreshing. BTW, we are running below code using SSIS package even when DBA manually runs it fails.

Hello 

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2017 for a multidimensional SSAS project.

When I try to deploy the solution from VS to a local database, a window opens with the following error message:

The processing information cannot be provided. (Microsoft Visual Studio)
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Project.AS)
Program Location:
   at Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Project.AnalysisServicesProjectManager.unsafe_StartToolWindowForProcessing(String message)


When I close the window, the deployment and the processing of the cube continue without any error.

Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks in advance
Chris

My situation is as follows

I am using Visual studio community version 2015. I want to compare two tabular models to generate change script and so I installed BISM Normalizer version 3 

1. First of all, even though I installed the BISM Normalizer, I don't see it in the list of installed programs ( I use windows 10), why is that ?

2. OK, then I proceed to open a database in VS 2015, Go to Tools --> Analysis Services Tabular Designers and change the compatability version to SQL SERVER 2014/ SQL SERVER 2012 SP1 (1103)....then I say tools --> compare tabular models, and when I choose both the  models to compare I get a dialog box error which says Object reference not set to an instance of an object. why am I getting this error ??

Possible to track changes in the Tabular models between refreshes?

Is there any mechanism or ability to compare two tabular data models or compare the model before and after the refresh?

When the server refreshes it loads all the data into a new model, then drops the old model, right?

Is there any mechanism that would allow querying between the two models to look for changes?

Hi,

I am using different configurations for my SSAS Tabular project in Visual Studio. I would like to set different Data Sets for these configurations (development, deployment) as well. Is there any way how to achieve "dynamic" Data Sets for my configurations in Visual Studio?

Note: I can do it for SSAS Multidimensional project in Solution Explorer. But Data Source is not available inSolution Explorer for Tabular project. Data Set is only within Tabular Model Explorer where change of Data Set is used for all configurations.

Thank you,

SQL Case statement to DAX

I am trying to write a DAX statement to replicate a SQL Case statement which involves two tables TABLEa &TABLEc which are connected usingTABLEb in between them. Ideally I want to create them as measures. With other BI tools I am able to use case and combine columns from 2 or even 3 tables. I do not have a datawarehouse this is a simple transactional data base.

Measure1: CASE WHEN TABLEc.StartDate >= TABLEa.StartDate AND (Tablec.ComDate <= TABLEa.StartDate OR TABLEa.StartDate S NULL) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END

Measure2: COUNT(CASE WHEN TABLEc.StartDate >= TABLEa.StartDate AND (TABLEc.StartDate <= TABLEa.StartDate OR TABLEa.StartDate IS NULL) THEN TABLEc.Id END)

Power Query Designer in SSAS using Visula Studio 2019

January 8, 2020, 7:18 pm

Hi,

I have used Power Query designer extensively in Power BI and now trying to use it in SSAS.

I am using Visual Studio 2019 to create a SSAS project (compatibility level 1500)  and I can import data from SQL 2019 table/view. 

My questions:

1. How do I access Power Query in SSAS?

I tried to find the button to do this but only way I can access is via Table Properties -> click 'Design...' button. But I can only see the selected table in the query. Unlike in Power BI in the Query Designer/Editor I can see all data import queries.

2. When I added a custom column some it is visible in the model.bim window. It has also disappeared from the script.  Why is this?

This scenario is specifically when I try to do add transformation after  the dat source selection and data is imported. During the data source selection when I click 'transform' and do any changes in Power Query designer, that displays fine.

3. Sometimes the custom column (added via Power Query post data import) is visible in model.bim, but the transformed data for that column is not visible. But after deploying the model to SSAS, when I access the model from Power BI or Excel the custom column values are visible. 

Why is the data for custom column added via Power Query not visible in Visual Studio project?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Anand
