I have built a cube in SSAS (BIDS 2010). I have about 20 calculated measures in my cube. As of yesterday, everything looked fine, except one of my measures (budget_hoursnumeric(18,2) ) was off slightly because of rounding. I added an additional column (budget_hours_longnumeric (35,20)) to my fact table. I refreshed the data source view. I then went to my cube, right clicked the "budget scheduled hours" measure (the name of the measure in the cube that associated to the "budget_hours column in my fact table) and chose "edit measure". I selected as the source column thebudget_hours_long column as my source and clicked ok. I processed the cube just fine, but when I went to the browser and dragged all the measures to display, I noticed that about half of my calculated measures showed up as (null).
I assumed, it was related to changing the source for the budget scheduled hours measure I changed, so naturally I edited the measure and changed the source back to what it was. I processed the cube, opened the browser, showed the measures, and it still showed (null) for the same calculations.
What I can't explain is that some of the calculations that don't work, have nothing to do with the column I changed. I don't remember making any other changes before the measures started showing (null), but don't trust my memory enough to be sure. Again, These calculations all worked fine up until I made the source change. Here are some examples of the calculations that work and that are broken (they are pretty straight forward calculations):
CALCULATIONS THAT STILL WORK:
COST Variance Percantage (Not sure why this is blue)
CASE WHEN [Measures].[Budget Performed Costs] = 0 THEN 0
ELSE ( ([Measures].[Budget Performed Costs] - [Measures].[Actual Costs]) / [Measures].[Budget Performed Costs]
)
END
SCHEDULE VARIANCE: [Measures].[Budget Performed Costs] - [Measures].[Budget Scheduled Costs]
CALCULATIONS THAT DONT WORK
SCHEDULE Variance YTD: [Measures].[Budget Performed Costs YTD] - [Measures].[Budget Scheduled Costs YTD]
Actual Costs YTD
sum(
PeriodsToDate
(
[Fiscal Period Week].[Fiscal Year - Period - Week Hierarchy].[Fiscal Year],
[Fiscal Period Week].[Fiscal Year - Period - Week Hierarchy].CurrentMember
)
,
[Measures].[Actual Costs]
)
Any IDEAS????
