Which works fine for all my other calculations except this, where I need a distinct count. CNT is a calculated measure. The browser would look like this:
Category Year1
Year2 ..... MDX what I have now
MDX what I need
What this does is, it calculates the median of the medians over the period of 3 years. But, what I'm looking for is the overall median of the underlying measure over a period of 3 years.
ID Count of Consecutive Years ------- ----------------------------- 1 2 4 2 9 0
I know this is a gaps and islands type problem but nothing I have been able to find is working once I attempt modification so that it can fit my dataset. Please note that I am going to use the data return to populate another table that is currently being populated using a cursor that utilizes an insert statement based on different codes.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I greatly appreciate it!
What i'm trying to do is get a distinct count of account numbers within a rolling period. My actual take is rather large but i've created a smaller-like version below. Please reference this table.
Account Date
1 1/1/08
2 1/2/08
3 1/2/08
2 2/8/08
4 2/9/08
1 2/15/08
1 3/5/08
5 3/6/08
4 3/9/08
3 3/10/08
1 4/1/08
5 4/9/08
2 4/15/08
3 4/26/08
1 5/3/08
2 5/15/08
3 5/29/08
6 5/30/08
Let's say i want to return distinct count of accounts within a 2-month rolling period meaning in February, i'd get a distinct count for accounts in January & February, then in March i'd get a distinct count for February & March, then in April i'd get it for March & April, and so on... my results table would like the table below:
Account Month
3 1
4 2
5 3
5 4
5 5
I had asked this before but it was a summing equation and not a unique count. I've tried to play with the summing equation to kind of make it work, but i'm starting to get a headache. It's probably so simple!
Here's my previous post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2289509
I work for a charitable organization, am new to this form (and sql programming) and trying to create a flag for unique records indicating the number of consecutive years a donor has given.
I have create a sample db idenifying donor, giving year and total pledges with multiple donor records existing for multiple years having donated.
INSERT INTO mygifts06 (Id,Gift_yr,Pledges) SELECT 155758,2005,15.00 UNION ALL SELECT 155759,2004,25.00 UNION ALL SELECT 155758,2004,40.00 UNION ALL SELECT 155757,2005,100.00 UNION ALL SELECT 155758,2002,30.00 UNION ALL SELECT 155758,2001,120.00 UNION ALL SELECT 155755,2003,15.00 UNION ALL SELECT 155758,2006,80.00 UNION ALL SELECT 155757,2003,65.00 UNION ALL SELECT 155759,2005,400.00
For the above dataset, I am trying to create the following output
i am currently trying to build a distinct count on my cube (mssql2005 analysis services).But after i added the discount count on the field i want to and start the processing, the following errors appear.Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The sort order specified for distinct count records is incorrect.
The result is accurate but the query execution time is 3-4 minutes for 10 fact records, when i use multiple dimension. it is showing me 0 valus for this measure for all the members for the dimesion attribute which doen't have any customer order. example it shows all the member of date dimension. is there any way to reduce the rows. i think this is the reason to take more execution time.when i use EXCCLUDEEMPTY the result is NULL
Background: I have a Huge fact dimension table(table has both measures and dimensions) that i am using to build a SSAS Cube.
The table didn't have a unique identifier, so the database team added ROW NUM as a column to the table which i am using as a PrimaryKey in my Cube build. I was able to create a cube successfully with it without any issues.
Problem: Now customers are asking for a 'Claim Count calculation' which shows the Distinct Claim Count.
Its defined as below :
Count(Distinct Claim_Number || Claim Year || Claim Month)
. All the 3 columns are available in table, but when i am trying to create this Count Distinct Object in the DSV the Cube processing time increased by 5 times, as now i have to use a GroupBy function in my SQL.(There are around 30 columns to group by).
Is there a better way to achieve this Count(Distinct Claim_Number || Claim Year || Claim Month) without using groupBy in DSV SQL logic? I cant seem to find any Count(Distinct) function in the Cube Calculation functions?
I am doing a distinct count on a related table's column, but get an out of memory error if I run it for the entire table (works great for just a few rows when filtered down).The error I get is: "We couldn't get data from the external source.The operation has been cancelled because there is not enough memory available for the application. If using 32-bit version of the product consider upgrading.
I know I can add a related column and that works fine...but that seems to me like I've defeated the purpose, I have a good and proper lookup table, and should be able to run my query against its relationship.Here is the query and details below *Note I supplied a scaled down sample, on my actual model I receive these errors, not in the sample as it has only a few rows
List Workers Distinct Project Customers:=CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Projects[CustomerID]),'WorkersToProjects') Other measure which returns no errors, but included for completeness: List Workers Projects:=CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT([ProjectID]),ISBLANK(WorkersToProjects[ProjectID])=FALSE())
My goal here is to allow the user to view the workers assigned to a project, but also get counts of the workers assigned to the CUSTOMER of a project. For example, suppose we lose a customer, we want to see how many workers would be impacted by that, so a count of projects per worker is not useful there, we need to see a count of workers per project's customer (owner of project whom project work is being done for)The question being: How can I accomplish this:
1. WITHOUT adding a calculated column to WorkersToProjects (of Projects.CustomerID) 2. WITH better performance?
There must be a better way to write this DAX to still get the correct answer?*Pic of pivot table, again, the numbers are accurate but the formula used to List Workers Distinct Project Customers measure does NOT scale :( 3 count for red , the number of Projects John has and 2 count for blue, the unique customers/owners of those projects "Veridian Dynamics" and "Massive Dynamic".

Hello to everybody, I'm quite new to the Analysis Services world and would like to create a BI Solution for one of my customers with the following problem: I have sales data from the ERP from different years (2005 and on). My customer wants a report that shows the sales of the current year up to the month he wants to specify (e.g. january - march 2008) compared with the sales of the same period of the previous year (e.g. january - march 2007), divided into product category.
Is there a way to build a cube and then a matrix report in Reporting Services that lets the user specify the period for the current year and shows the same period of the previous year. Do I achieve this behaviour with a calculated member in the cube (e.g. ParallelPeriod)
Any hint (or web like example) would be very appreciated.

Aim – Calculate the number of days between CreatedDate and [Date_Docs_In_Complete__c],count how many Ids, Fall within a specific month by year, and then work out the avg number of days it took for each month

I have a table in my MS SQL 2000 database called News which has a field caled NewsDate. This is a standard Date field which stores the info in this format: 3/1/2001.
I want to create a query that returns one row for each year that there is a story.
For example, if I had this data... 3/1/2001, 6/27/2003. 9/17/2003, 1/1/2006, 4/5/2006
the query would return this result:
2001 2003 2006
This is the query I've started with:
SELECT DISTINCT NewsDate FROM News ORDER BY NewsDate DESC
What modifier can I apply to the NewsDate field to extract JUST the year from the table? If this were ASP I would try something like Year(Date), but, of course, I can't do that here.
Is this even possible? I've been looking up date functions, but haven't found anything that will work in a select statement. ANY and ALL advice will be greatly appreciated.
I'm trying extract a count of consecutive numbers, or "unbroken" years inthis case, at any particular given time.For example (simplified):CREATE TABLE #Customers(CustNo INT,YearNo INT,IsCust CHAR(1))INSERT INTO #Customers (custno, yearno, isCust) VALUES (999, 2006, 'Y')INSERT INTO #Customers (custno, yearno, isCust) VALUES (999, 2005, 'Y')INSERT INTO #Customers (custno, yearno, isCust) VALUES (999, 2004, 'Y')INSERT INTO #Customers (custno, yearno, isCust) VALUES (999, 2003, 'N')INSERT INTO #Customers (custno, yearno, isCust) VALUES (999, 2002, 'N')INSERT INTO #Customers (custno, yearno, isCust) VALUES (999, 2001, 'Y')INSERT INTO #Customers (custno, yearno, isCust) VALUES (999, 2000, 'Y')SELECT * FROM #CustomersCustNo YearNo IsCust----------- ----------- ------999 2006 Y999 2005 Y999 2004 Y999 2003 N999 2002 N999 2001 Y999 2000 YIn 2006 CustNo 999 would have been active for 3 years, 2004 for 1, 2001 for2, etc. Ideally I'd feed it a single year to lookupI'm resisting the urge to create cursor here -- anyone have any hints?....Chris.
Using 'TAIL([Time].[Time].[Year].MEMBERS,1)' I can get the current year dynamically. My question is how do I get the previous two years dynamically as well. I've tried a few different ways with no luck. As you can see below I'd like to replace 2014 and 2013 with current year -1 and current year -2.
SELECT { [Time].[Time].[Year].&[2013], [Time].[Time].[Year].&[2014], TAIL([Time].[Time].[Year].MEMBERS,1) }ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY {[Branches].[Branches].[Region]*[Measures].[Ship Resale S&D Run Rate]} ON ROWS FROM SALES
We have customer accounts that we measure usage. We want to run a report for all customers whose current usage is 0 and a count of how many months it has been zero consecutively. Here is an example.
I have make a calculated member for previous period of an given date range. The previous period is the same date range from the previous year, and I have managed to achieve that with the calculated member:
Create member currentcube.[Measures].[PrevPeriod] as (ParallelPeriod( [Start Date].[Cal Hierarchy].[Year], 1, [Start Date].[CAL Hierarchy].CurrentMember), [Measures].[Count]);
This member returns the correct result as long as my query uses the time dimension, which makes sense... but I also need to show results sliced by other dimensions in bar charts that do not display the time dimension. For example, I have a dimension with only 3 members called [Region].[Area].[AreaName].
The result set for the bar chart needs to look like this:
[AreaName] | [Count] | [PrevPeriod] East | 43 | 56 West | 53 | 95
But the [PrevPeriod] only returns values if I include the time dimension. I essentially need to sum the results of the time dimension/AreaName/[PrevPeriod] tuple down to just Areaname/[PrevPeriod] for whatever date range may be involved.
I don't know if this is significant to the issue, but the client tool that generates the bar charts builds the query with the date range as a subcube in the FROM statement. If the [PrevPeriod] is outside of the subcube that is still OK, as long as the time dimension is included in an Axis on the final select statement, so at least I know I am not suffering from the members inside the subcube. I've also found in SSMS that it makes no difference if I make the query a subcube, or put the date range in a where clause instead; I still get NULL for [PrevPeriod] without the dates.
I can't imagine that this is an unusual situation, so I hope I've explained it adequately! What is the recommended technique for summarizing a Parallelperiod by dimensions without displaying the time/dates ?
I would like to create calculated measure which should give me closing holdings at all levels(week ,Month,Quarter and year levels.) whichever i pull in the browse pane.
Below calculated measure would show the holdings for whatever the level you have specified.
([Measures].[Holdings], ClosingPeriod( [DIM BI DATE].[Calendar].[WEEK], [DIM BI DATE].[Calendar].CurrentMember ))
But this measure shows the value for only week attribute.
for month,([Measures].[Holdings],ClosingPeriod( [DIM BI DATE].[Calendar].[Month], [DIM BI DATE].[Calendar].CurrentMember ))
But my aim is to create a calculated measure to give closing value for any level.

I have developed a cube in my work place for analyzing current year sales with previous year sales in Time Hierarchy (Year- Quarter- Month) using Parallel period. If we want to see data for particular Quarters i.e. Q1 and Q2 then total at the year level should also get change. Currently if we only choose 2 quarters in the filter then current year data gets change, however data using parallel period is not getting change accordingly and its shows Total of full year.
Our client wants to report on their trade volume for last year as compared to the current quarter. For simplicity let's pretend they have a report where they have a two key measures:
is based on outlook - that is, for any period we are reporting on the trade volume will be reported as actuals that have been loaded up until the current period, and forecast for the current and future periods.
[Trade Volume - Tons MTD] is based only on actuals - that is for any period we are reporting on the trade volume will be reported as actuals that have been loaded up until and including the current period, and 0 for any future periods.
If Feb09 is our current period, and we are using quarter on the time dimension (where quarter 1=Jan09,Feb09,Mar09) and we have the following data:
This is a problem, because the comparison with their current results ([Trade Volume - Tons MTD]) with what they 'forecast' ([Trade Volume - Tons]) is not based on the same period of time - we are comparing the sum of two periods versus three periods.To solve this we changed the reporting period to be monthly granularity, and now select Jan09-Feb09 as our range (as opposed to having a quarter granularity and selecting Q1,2009 in the example above).
This works well and produces the expected results:
However, this introduces a secondary problem: we are doing a prior year calculation on the Trade Volume also, so the users can compare how the actuals are comparing to the same period last year.To do this we use the following formula for the prior year calculation:
Prior Year Actuals=([Measures].[Trade Volume - Tons], ParallelPeriod([Time].[544 Hierarchy].[Period Year],1,[Time].[544 Hierarchy].currentmember))
The problem is as soon as we move from quarter granularity to (monthly granularity AND select more than one monthly period) the Prior Year Actuals calculation produces a an error "The MDX function CURRENTMEMBER failed because the coordinate for the 'Period Year' attribute contains a set".So, ParallelPeriod does not like it when currentmember is a range (Jan09,Feb09) rather than a single period (Jan09).
I have a monthly time period dimension representing average number of students for each month. At the yearly aggregate level I don't want it to sum up the avg number of students from every month because that number is incorrect. I would like it to use the number of students from the most recent month as a roll up. Is that possible to configure in SSAS?
I need to list customers in a table that represents sales over the years.
I have tables:
Customers -> id | name |... Orders -> id | idCustomer | date | ... Products -> id | idOrder | unitprice | quantity | ...
I am using this SQL but it only gets one year:
SELECT customers.name , SUM(unitprice*qt) AS total FROM Products INNER JOIN Orders ON Orders.id = Products.idOrder INNER JOIN Customers ON Customers.id = Orders.idCustomer WHERE year(date)=2014 GROUP BY customers.name ORDER BY 2 DESC
I need something like this:
customer | total sales 204 | total sales | 2015 | total sales (2014 + 2015) -------- customer A | 1000$ | 2000$ | 3000$ customer B | 100$ | 100$ | 200$
Is it possible to retrieve these values in a single SQL query for multiple years and grand total?
Im trying to get the average Fuel Consumption for A Manufacturer that produces two or more cars, so far ive only been able to find all manufacturers Average Fuel consumption.
Heres what I have so far
Select aManufacturer.MName, avg(FuelCons) From aCar Join aBuilts On aBuilts.CName = aCar.CName Join aManufacturer On aBuilts.MName = aManufacturer.MName Group by aManufacturer.MName
This produces nearly all I want only I need to be able to get only the Manufacturers who produce two or more Cars, ive tried implementing a few Count statements but nothings working, any ideas?
I need to query the count of an occurrence in a given period of time, so I created this query. But it does not give me any results.
SELECT TOP 1000 o.[ID] ,o.[TimeOfOrder] ,x.[StreeLine1] FROM [SC].[dbo].[bvc_Order] o FULL JOIN SC.dbo.xmlAddressRead x ON o.ID= x.id WHERE DATEDIFF(HOUR,o.[TimeOfOrder],(DATEADD(Hour, -48, GETDATE()))) < 48 GROUP BY x.[StreeLine1], o.ID, o.TimeOfOrder HAVING COUNT(x.[StreeLine1])>1
Then I change the query slightly and I ask it to show me the ones that are going to '599 Ships Landing Way' and it gives me 356 results! The Query doesn't crash, but it doesn't give me the results I need. What did I do incorrectly?
SELECT TOP 1000 o.[ID] ,o.[TimeOfOrder] ,x.[StreeLine1] FROM [SC].[dbo].[bvc_Order] o FULL JOIN SC.dbo.xmlAddressRead x ON o.ID= x.id WHERE DATEDIFF(HOUR,o.[TimeOfOrder],(DATEADD(Hour, -48, GETDATE()))) < 48 AND x.[StreeLine1]='599 Ships Landing Way'
I have two tables - one with dates at the end of each month (10/31, 11/30, 12/31, et al) that's linked to a data table containing client signups. While I can get the count per month in a pivot table, I'm trying to calculate the beginning count of each month.
How do I use calculate or something similar to sum the count of records created minus count of records closed prior to the beginning of the period?
The pivot looks like this right now and works by month:
beginning active records ????? count of records created 100 count of records deleted 50 net records created 50 running balance in net records created 100 (theoretically the next month's beginning balance, but can't figure out how to reference or calculate)
