Is is valid/possible to have cube name for a dimension in a SSAS cube?
For example,
I am having a cube named as "NorthWind".
Now inside this cube can I have the same name "NorthWind" for a dimension?
Does this cause any conflict in MDX Query execution or any other in generating proper CellSet?
Hi..,
i created named set ..
{
linkmember([Start Date].[Year - Quarter - Month - Date].currentmember, [Date].[Year - Quarter - Month - Date])
:
linkmember( [End Date].[Year - Quarter - Month - Date].currentmember,[Date].[Year - Quarter - Month - Date])
} when i give TI formula as Month:Month It works where as i created same Named set for week range..,
{
linkmember([Start Date].[Year - Quarter - Month -Week - Date].currentmember, [Date].[Year - Quarter - Month -Week - Date]) : linkmember( [End Date].[Year - Quarter - Month -Week- Date].currentmember,[Date].[Year - Quarter - Month-Week -Date]) }
But this fails... returns no value when use this ,if select for only one week means Start date :1/1/2012, End Date:6/1/2012 measure value appears.., If i select more than a week column displays Week 1, Week 2, Week, Week4 but all the measure rows are empty. SD-1/1/2012, ED-31/1/2012. Pls suggest where is the mistake.. All the settings in time intelligence of data source are correct with respect to Hirarchy ...
Thanks,

I have just update the SSAS from 2008 R2 to 2012. And migrate a 2008 cube to 2012 instance. When I try to open the Cube in BIDS, I met the following issue. (SSMS can connect to the Cube successful and work normally) Could someone help?

Hello,
Currently we have reports in excel sheet which has pivot tables created from cubes.
I''' explain how these cubes are created:
We have several cubes, then one cube (lets call it cube A)which links all other cubes. Now cube A has several calculations which are built from the different linked cubes.
Then i combine all the calculations into one measure using a case statement. The case statement is like following
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Combined]
AS CASE
WHEN [Goals Details].[Goal Description]=[Goals Details].[Goal Description].&[abc] then [Measures].[abc]
WHEN [Goals Details].[Goal Description]=[Goals Details].[Goal Description].&[xyz] then [Measures].[xyz] and so on. Like this we have uabout 50+measures combined in [Measures].[Combined].
We use [Measures].[Combined] and [Goals Details].[Goal Description] dimension attribute to get all the measures in pivot in excel. However, recently, as we are adding more measures, the time to refresh the excel sheet is increasing exponentially.
Do you think "SCOPE" instead of "CASE" is a better approach?
How do i optimize this? Please help.
Initially,( 3 weeks back) everything was fine. but now without any major changes suddenly things have slowed down and is creating a lot of problem.
Thanks
I am working on SCOPE statements in MDX (SSAS 2008)

While executing the above code in Analysis Server, iam getting an error likecan anyone help me out of it please??
if I run the following query:
with member [Measures].[SOR Cost] as ([D Services].[Service Unit Price].CurrentMember.membervalue) select [Measures].[SOR Cost] on 0, Filter(([D Services].[Service Description].children,[D Services].[Service Unit Price].children), [Measures].[SOR Cost]>0)on 1 from [TC Cube]
I got:
I wanted to hide the second column, so I modified the last query and added EXTRACT:
with member [Measures].[SOR Cost] as ([D Services].[Service Unit Price].CurrentMember.membervalue) select [Measures].[SOR Cost] on 0, Extract(existing (Filter(([D Services].[Service Description].children,[D Services].[Service Unit Price].children), [Measures].[SOR Cost]>0)),[D Services].[Service Description]) on 1 from [TC Cube]
unfortunately I got:
anybody knows why I'm getting All All All All ... in the SOR Cost ?!! and how can i fix it ?

I need to calculate
45567 oct22 VR12 TPVSS

Hi,
I am trying to make the following drillthrough work. I have two measure groups with each 2 values (values1,values2,values3,values4). Both groups are linked to 2 dimensions (Dim1, Dim2). I have created a drillthough action which looks like this Dim1.attribute1, Dim2.attribute2
Now if I normal drillthrough on any measure I get back Dim1
Hi Experts,
I have a MDX query in which I am using context aware calculation.On the basis of the result I want to find out Topcount
e.g,
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ConditionalSales]
AS
CASE WHEN [Sales].[BatchNo].Currentmember IS [Sales].[BatchNo].&[005]
THEN [Measures].[SalesAmount]
ELSE 0
END
SELECT {[Measures].[ConditionalSales]} ON 0,
NONEMPTY([Divion].[Divison].Members*[Sales].[BatchNo].[BatchNo].Members) ON 1 FROM [Sales]
Now I want to find out Top 3 divisions by [Measures].[ConditionalSales];How to do it?
I tried something like this,But it's not working
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ConditionalSales]
AS
CASE WHEN [Sales].[BatchNo].Currentmember IS [Sales].[BatchNo].&[5]
THEN [Measures].[SalesAmount]
ELSE 0
END
SELECT {[Measures].[ConditionalSales]} ON 0,
TOPCOUNT(NONEMPTY([Divion].[Divison].Members*[Sales].[BatchNo].[BatchNo].Members),3,[Measures].[ConditionalSales]) ON 1 FROM [Sales]
*Here [Sales].[BatchNo].[BatchNo].Members is not used for display purpose rather for calculated member
| Division | BatchNo | Sales | ConditionalSales |
| Sem | 5 | 20 | 20 |
| Sem | 4 | 30 | 0 |
| Sem | 5 | 40 | 40 |
| Ret | 4 | 30 | 0 |
| Ret | 5 | 30 | 30 |
| Ret | 5 | 140 | 140 |
| Tem | 4 | 50 | 0 |
| Tem | 5 | 70 | 70 |
| Division | ConditionalSales |
| Ret | 170 |
| Tem | 70 |
| Sem | 60 |
I changed the query!Please see the above code.
Hi All,
I have a report in excel on my desktop and its running great for past few months and all of a sudden when i try to refresh the data i'm getting an error "Errors in the OLED Provider. Couldnot connect to the redirector. Ensure that the SQL Browser service is running on the server".
I can run the reports from a differernt machine. I went through the following links (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlanalysisservices/thread/68da87d7-b7e6-43dc-a843-5757681a457d) and did everything thats mentioned in thel link but still cannot connect to the cubes from my machine, also i cannot connect to SSAS from my desktop. I can remote onto the server and connect to SSAS. Please need help.
Thanks
Hey guys,
It is snowing in MN, beautiful and troublesome.
Here is my test. Created a cube based on one fact table and 5 dimensions (Star schema) and put on a columnStore index on the fact table covering all columns.
I expect this columnstore can accelerate the cube processing(MOLAP, full process) however the actual result shows me cruelly cube processing with Columnstore index takes 12 mins and it takes sometimes ranging from 11 mins or 13 mins without a columnstore index.
I deprived the detailed queries of cube process to test in SSMS. It basically prove me columnstore does work by margin of 50% accelerating.
Now I am puzzled why generally it doesn't help cube processing speeding-up.
Am I something wrong in understanding? would love see your comments here

Hi Guys,
I hoping someone could help me out.
Im in the process of building a cube and need to provide a gross profit calculation, sounds simple!! However my fact table is currently organised like this
Period Category Amount
201101 OH 10.20
201102 LA 25.56
201102 PL 15.99
201101 REV 10000.00
My dimension is organised like this:
Key Desc
OH Overhead
LA Labour
PL Plant
REV Revenue
How do can i write a calculation that provides the gross profit (REV -OH - LA - PL)? do i need to create a named set or something? Any help would be most appreciated.
Regards
Dave
we are trying to build a filter so the client can choose any data after June 2011, but when we try the following:
SELECT
NONEMPTY [Measures].[Patient Record Count]ONCOLUMNS,NONEMPTY [Admit Date].[Month].Children
HAVING
[Admit Date].[Month].value> [Admit Date].[Month].&[201106]
ON
ROWSFROM [GDDS Cube]
i got the result:
Patient Record Count
March 2011 591976
August 2011 597885
October 2011 576546
January 2012 575131
February 2012 556645
March 2012 605619
April 2012 571132
May 2012 596262
as we can see March 2011 also showed up, and if we try
SELECT
NONEMPTY [Measures].[Patient Record Count]ONCOLUMNS,NONEMPTY [Admit Date].[Month].Children
[Admit Date].[Month].value < [Admit Date].[Month].&[201106]
ON
ROWSFROM [GDDS Cube]
we got a lot of 2012 month also as result, looks like this way is not working, in the date dimension, the month as the key as 201101 etc...and all the month are in the right order, question is why the having clause is not working properly, and if not, how we can build this query?

Hi,
I've created my first cube in VS2005 and deployed to SQL server 2005 server.
I can browse the cube from VS and from the server MS.
From my station MS which has SQL 2008 I can view the server's database objects but when I try to browse the cube from there I get error:
'Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.'
Is it possible to fix this? Can this have implications if I run SSRS 2008 / sharepoint 2012 BI based on this SQL2005 cube?

Hello,
Trying to process Dimensions and Cube using AMO, here is the code:
server = new Server();
server.Connect(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["CubeDataConnection"].ConnectionString);
Database database = server.Databases.FindByName("BD");
Cube cube = database.Cubes.FindByName("Cube");
//ProcessFull for Dimensions
foreach (CubeDimension dimension in cube.Dimensions)
{
dimension.Dimension.Process(ProcessType.ProcessFull);
}
DataSourceView dsv = database.DataSourceViews.GetByName("DSV");
MeasureGroup measureGroup = cube.MeasureGroups.GetByName("Measure1");
Partition partition = measureGroup.Partitions.GetByName("Measure1");
//ProcessAdd for Cube
partition.Process(ProcessType.ProcessAdd, new QueryBinding(dsv.DataSourceID, "SELECT * FROM SSAS.Data1"));
MeasureGroup measureGroup2 = cube.MeasureGroups.GetByName("Measure2");
Partition partition2 = measureGroup2.Partitions.GetByName("Measure2");
partition2.Process(ProcessType.ProcessAdd, new QueryBinding(dsv.DataSourceID, "SELECT * FROM SSAS.Data2"));So, I need ProcessFull for Dimensions and ProcessAdd for the Cube.
Processing for Dimensions is OK, but when ProcessAdd starts executing for the first partition, it goes on exception.. It says , that ProcessAdd can't be applied , because cube is not processed...
Could you help me to figure out how to execute processAdd for cube, after ProcessingFull for dimensions..
For additional info, please feel free to ask..
Thanks in advance
Hello Friends
When i process one of my dimension i get this error
The following exception occurred while the managed IDbCommand interface was being used: Incorrect key file for table '/var/tmp/mysql.VArBWG/#sql_aa0_8.MYI'; try to repair it.

when i execute this dimension for 10000 rows it works fine but as soon as when i process for whole rows i get the above error.
kindly suggest me some solution
Hi,
is it possible to build a powerpoint chart based on a SSAS Cube?

I understand that cube mdx calculation is calculated during every queries. So if using cube calculation to create a new measure and its aggregation, it has to calculate every times, so that there is no performance advantage as the normal measure.
I have a cube using "Add account intelligence" which set up the aggregation method for different account types. Does this mean that these aggregation have to be calculated during the query time and have no performance advantage as normal aggregation? In my cube, it allows user to change the aggregation formula for the account type, and the cube is re-processed. But the query take long time in some cases when the aggregations are based on very low grain details.
Is my understanding correct? Is there any better solution?
Thank you,
