I am trying to select from 2 cubes. in one condition - select .. From CubeX, and in sec Condition Select .. From CubeY.
I tried to put the name of the Cube as parameter:
SELECT ...
FROM @CurrentCube
in ssrs source and i got the message:
------------------------------
Failed to parse the query to detect if it is MDX or DMX. Error: 'Query (148, 6) Parser: The syntax for '@CurrentCube' is incorrect.' (MDXQueryGenerator)
------------------------------
Also tried to get the name of the Cube as Member (I have a property with the name of the cube),and than using the member to the select :
WITH MEMBER [CurrentCube] AS
...[dim name].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("Cube")
SELECT ...
FROM [CurrentCube]
It didnt work too.. Is it Possible at all make the Cube-name dynamic?!
I am working on datawarehouse using sql server analysis manager. I created a cube ..that is working fine but now i have to distribute to end users so how to do it and how many ways we can do that
1)can we make that .cub file 2)how can give access to endusers without giving access to database 3)how to host a cube and access from excel or any other software
I need to use cubes in VS 2005 web project. I have no clue how to create cubes or use them in my web page. I am familiar with Reporting Services but not cubes. thanks in advance!
How to get data from cubes in analyses manager to MS access using forexample ODBC ? Does existe any other posibilities to get data from cubesdirectly to the accees ?thanksKris
I work with 2 cubes on live and one for development. I've set the roles in the live cube (using SQL Server management studio). If i go to the design mode of the cube the new roles are not there, so deploying the cube will not update the development cube with the roles. How one can easily copy roles between cubes. (adding them manually would be a lot of work because there are quite a lot of different roles).
I have some questions about SQL Servers 2000 and 2005 compatibility. In my configuration I have to use both servers. The cubes are stocked in 2005 server. May I transfer from 2005 to 2000 Analysis Services the cubes?
If yes, what is the procedure? The result of migration is the same in the two different versions?
How can I UNION two MDX query results which are deriving from 2 cubes?MDX queries will return same ROW information and only Measure names will be different.
I need to extract data from SSAS' cubes into a SQL Server table.
I already read examples using Linked server (with openquery), SSIS, etc. However, the result always return as many columns per dimension as levels. I need to extract all members of a dimension in a column. E.g., when excecuting the following MDX query in Adventure Works 2014:
select [Measures].[Sales Amount] on columns, Non Empty [Date].[Calendar].members on rows from [Adventure Works]
I would like to get this result (MDX query in SSMS), but with keys displayed intead of names:
I'm exploring creating local cube files, .cub from an excel sheet with tables.Would SSAS be able to create one cube from taking data from a 1 way table (A, B, C), a 2 way table (AxB, BxC, AxC) and a 3 way table (AxBxC)?
I hope some of you can point me in the right direction. I am new to all this and working on a project using Cubes.
The cubes need to be generated in a dynamic fashion as the contents (that means field) in the fact tables change change every quarter and are based off of a external application.
The base strucutre stays the same though. So we thought we would export the XMLA representation of the cube and then munge (word for alter) the data in the XMLA file and send it someplace to create the new cube on a SQL 2005 server. This seemed easy enough but I have found no real information on how to run some piece of code that would create the cube based on this XMLA code.
On another note is there a parsing object for the XMLA so i dont have to right one from scratch?
I have two cube and i would like to get data from both cube and combine the results from both cubes to get final result to display result in SSRS reports like we can do in Stored procedure using temporary tables/Joins.Is there any way in SSAS to combine the data from multiple cubes? Data needs to be retrieved from the cubes based on the user inputs.
I am running into a problem where Excel 2010 is freezing when I try to work with data coming from a Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 pre-built cube.
What is happening is that when I go to add a second dimension to my pivot table, excel locks up and becomes completely unresponsive for at least 2 hours. If I add the dimension to the table before the measure though, everything is fine.
For Example, I am trying to build a sales report with the product name and customer name as dimensions, and Sales as the measure. If I add the product name to my pivot table as a column and then sales as a measure, Excel will freeze when I try to add the customer dimension. However, if I add both dimensions to the pivot table first and then the measure, Excel seems to work fine.
I would like to know if is possible to create dynamic reports based on cubes. What i mean is,after creating a cube with a couple of dimensions and measure if is there any way to give the normal users on the report manager or report builder the freedom to choose their own dimensions/measure so they can output the report with the choosen criteria.
My Power view reports do not show the grand totals correctly. I think my issue relates perfectly to [URL]. However we have updated service pack 2 on both the sql data warehouse and the ssas box. They are 2012. However the power view is still incorrect. Pivot tables seem to work just fine. In AS I have a 2 separate measure groups that has a total count. I then use mdx to bring those two together. Something I have done many times in past with as 2008. My mdx looks like this below. I then hide Total Count EC (from measure group 1) and Total Count SF (from measure group 2). This way I have 1 total count value and they can use another dimension to see the two separate if needed.
The measure Total Count EC works just fine but the Total Count (MDX) does not . All in Power Pivot works fine but in Power View the grand totals are not correct.
Is there any way to track the information about the connections to SSAS cubes through local Excel files (BI usage).
OPreviously, we are tracing the information about the BI usage through the BI SharePoint site. Now we want track the users who are using through local excel files .
Can applications connect to SSAS Tabular mode cubes through ODBC drivers? I have been asked the question specifically regarding SAS, and I can see (for example) SAS Enterprise Guide has the ability to connect to sources via ODBC, so I now need to find out if there are such things as ODBC divers for SSAS (specifically Tabular).
we are using ASMCD to sync our cubes from a Cubebuild Server to a Reporting Server. We migrated some days ago from 2012 to 2014. We are also using rel. Engine with StoredProcs for calling and executing xp_cmdshell for the Ascmd.Actually all works fine for our smaller cubes. For the bigger one we got the following issue. The cube is being synced but the proc delivers error.In the log we found this entry:
(7/7/2015 11:26:22 AM) Message: The directory '?D:SSAS_DATAGPMR Local CNTR.510.dbLocal Controlling Cube.0.cub' could not be deleted. Please check the directory for permissions.

Is there a way to write such a query where we can declare the variable dynamically ? Currently I am using the query as shown below :
declare @pYear_Internal as NVarchar(100) set @pYear_Internal = [D FISCALPERIOD].[FP CODE].[FP CODE] WITH MEMBER MEASURES.[REVENUE] AS [Measures].[TOTAL REVENUE] SET LAST5YEARS AS STRTOMEMBER(@pYear_Internal).Lag(4) : STRTOMEMBER(@pYear_Internal)
[code]....
While executing the above query, getting the error - Query (1, 9) Parser: The syntax for '@pYear_Internal' is incorrect. It looks like it doesn't recognize DECLARE keyword as it does with SQL queries. I just want a query that runs directly against the server.
I have a package where I need a dynamic connection string for an Analysis Services connection manager.
I have implemented this successfully for a Text data source, and a SQL data source, but the same approach does not seem to be working for an AS connection.
I set some expressions for the AS connection manager (ServerName, InitialCatalog, even the entire ConnectionString itself), but they don't take. I don't get any errors, but the task processes the cubes for the AS connection as it was established at run time. The design time connection string changes don't appear to get evaluated. This seems to be an issue only for AS connections.
I have created cube. 1 fact table and few dimensions including dimDate
I need to create a calculated member for variance.
Variance = SUM([Measures].[Amt]) starting from financial year beginning(2015-04-01 to current date) - SUM([Measures].[Amt]) for the same period last year(2014-04-01 to current date last year)
I am trying to write a query for the default values for month, and I am stuck in bringing out only the parameter values, the query I have , brings back the month on row and value on column, and I am trying to get the value out. and will ssrs accept it as a valid expression for a default value
WITH MEMBER [MEASURES].[PARAMETERVALUE] AS [Account].[Month Short Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME
[Code] .....
I tried using the exp
=Parameters!MONTH.Value(0)
so as to return the first parameter in the parameter dataset , but i have the error the expression that ref the parameter MONTH does not exists in the parameter collection.
I have an issue related to SSAS security. We have an SSAS multidimensional cube which needs 3 types of security:
- Access to the entire cube => OK, based upon a role - Restricted access to one department (= dimension) => OK, based upon a role - Access to the entire cube, but with dynamic security on 2 measures.
Let's say, we have 2 departments (food and non-food). Users within food are allowed to see sales and pieces from the food department, but not from the non-food department.
It is not an option to restrict access to the non-food department because there are other measure which they have access to. I tried cell security, but this is very slow and generates multiple empty rows on my selections.
I have a requirement to make all of my KPI goals configurable by the end user - I would like to add the data to my datawarehouse so that it is updated in the cube whenever the cube is processed. I'm thinking I will need a table for each KPI that includes two columns (I will be setting goal by year):
Year Value
In my cube I then create a measure group for each KPI (for some I will add a calculations to break down the yearly goal to lower levels of detail).I will add each measure to my Dimension Usage and relate to each of my time dimensions at the Year level.I currently have around a dozen KPIs - my above approach seems a bit messy i.e. requiring a table and measure group for each KPI (I guess I could at least put them all into one table in my relational db).
It seems simple but I'm not able to make it works. I've got a fact table with sites (DimImplantation) with allowed users (DimDroit) :
1 user can have access to many sites. I've tried these codes but only one worked and only in case where the user had only one site :
a) =DimImplantation[DimImplantation_ID]= LOOKUPVALUE (DimDroit[DimImplantation_ID]; DimDroit[Utilisateur];USERNAME() ) ==> worked for 1user with 1 site
b) =DimImplantation[DimImplantation_ID]= LOOKUPVALUE (DimDroit[DimImplantation_ID]; DimDroit[Utilisateur];USERNAME(); DimDroit[DimImplantation_ID];DimImplantation[DimImplantation_ID] ) ==> doesn't work and says 'not able to to identifie the value of DimImplantation[DimImplantation_ID] in the current context.
c) CALCULATE(VALUES(DimDroit[DimImplantation_ID], SUMMARIZE('DimDroit',DimDroit[Utilisateur]), DimDroit[Utilisateur]=USERNAME()) ==> version for SQL2012. I've had 'End of input reached'.
