Report Based On Parent-child Dimension

Feb 19, 2008

Hello,

I want to create a report based on an AdventureWordsAS parent-child dimension.

I created a new report item.
In the Data tab i created a new dataset using AnalysisServicesAS data source.
I dragged and dropped into the designer [Organization].[Organizations] and [Measures].[Financial Reporting].[Amount] from the metadata pane.

How can i configure a table control in the Layout tab, to create a drilldown report?
How do i set the Group On and Parent Group fields if i have only one attribute?

Thanks in advance

Report Against Parent-child Referenced Dimension

Feb 20, 2008

Hello,

I want to create a report in SSRS against a cube in SSAS 2005.

I have a Sales fact table, a Products dimension which is related directly to the fact table, and a Categories dimension which is related to the fact through Products (referenced dimension).

Fact --> Products --> Categories

In the Categories dimension i have also implemented a parent-child hierarchy. Only leaf category members are joined to Products.

Is it possible to create a report, drilling down from parent categories to child categories to products?

I 've already implememted the categories parent-child report but when i add the Products dimension in the flattened rowset, the Products seem to be joined to non-leaf category members.

Thanks.

Excel Export Report With Parent Child Dimension OLAP

Feb 6, 2008


Hi,

I have a problem with a reporting services 2005 report.
The data source is OLEDB for OLAP 9.


The report contains all the members of a parent child dimension. An example of the implementation is defined in the post following the forum msdn:
Http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=138549&SiteID=1.


The report works fine in web. The problem is when the report is exported as Excel, the groups disappeared and the entire dimension is ragged down.


Normally toggled groups in reporting services are exported to Excel with the appearance '+' or '-' on the left side of the sheet. This feature is very useful to hide / show lines.

It seems that with the implementation specified in the msdn post above,
It is not possible to export correctly the report in Excel.

So my questions are:

Has someone already encountered this problem?
Are there solutions with a different implementation?

Thanks,

Gurvan

Analysis :: Parent Child Dimension Not Displaying Name Value

Apr 16, 2015

I have a parent Child attribute in my dimension.  It show the correct ID value in the reports but when I change the value from the NameColumn to be something else it still only shows the ID value. I have an identical case in another dimension and it is working correctly.  However this dimension for some reason does not seem to work and I believe they are built the same way I must be missing something.  I have tried to show the OrgNodeID and tried to display the OrgNodename but neither displays all it displays is the intdimParentOrgNodeID.My dimension table looks something like this

intdimOrgNodeID int Key (surreget key)
intOrgNodeID int (Actual ID)
intDimParentOrgNodeID
intOrgNodeName

Hi experts,having a parent-child-table with the columns child_id, child_name, parent_idin SQL Server 2005 I just cannot create a parent-child dimension in BI DevStudio. Can anyone give me some hints?

Aggregation Issue With Parent Child Dimension When Not Using Primary Key

Mar 10, 2006

When creating a parent child dimension I am not using the primary key of the underlying table. I define the key when I create the dimension. The parent/child relationship works fine but my measure aggregation does not work.

The dimension has a regular relation type to the measure and the primary key from the underlying dimension table is used in the relationship to join in the measure. Since I have not used the primary key in the dimension and have defined my own key the define relationship page warns me that I have selected a non-key granularity attribute and I must directly or indirectly relate all other attributes to it. When I attempt to relate the attributes on the dimension structure tab I receive errors that I have created an attribute loop.

Any ideas?

Transact SQL :: Parent / Child Tables - Pivot Child Data To Parent Row

May 19, 2015

Given the sample data and query below, I would like to know if it is possible to have the outcome be a single row, with the ChildTypeId, c.StartDate, c.EndDate being contained in the parent row.  So, the outcome I'm hoping for based on the data below for ParentId = 1 would be:

1 2015-01-01 2015-12-31 AA 2015-01-01 2015-03-31 BB 2016-01-01 2016-03-31 CC 2017-01-01 2017-03-31 DD 2017-01-01 2017-03-31

declare @parent table (Id int not null primary key, StartDate date, EndDate date)
declare @child table (Id int not null primary key, ParentId int not null, ChildTypeId char(2) not null, StartDate date, EndDate date)
insert @parent select 1, '1/1/2015', '12/31/2015'
insert @child select 1, 1, 'AA', '1/1/2015', '3/31/2015'

Parent-Child Report Problem

Nov 6, 2007

Hi,

I have a report which I have created 3 or 4 child reports from.
If I make a change to the format of an object within the parent report (e.g. the colour of a text box) then the change appears on the child reports as I would expect.

The problem is that if I make a change to the properties of the report (e.g. the margins or the page size) then the change is NOT picked up in the child reports.

Does anybody have any solution to this annoying problem.

Regards,
James

Power Pivot :: Parent-Child Aggregation In Report

Jun 5, 2015

In my data warehouse, I have one level of Parent-Child hierarchy in DimEmployee table - Employee and Manager, linked to each other using a column, ParentEmployeeKey. This table also has historical data stored - a slowly changing dimension of Type 2. I also have a Fact table that gives me information related to Sales - FactSales. In this table, we have SalesAmount stored at Employee level, one Employee can have multiple Sales. Besides, FactSales is also related to DimDate table using DateKey.

I have a requirement wherein I need to make a PowerPivot report out of a PowerPivot data model, that is capable of getting filtered using a timeline, and displays SalesAmount for the Sales occurred in the date range selected on the timeline for a Manager as well as his subordinates in the same report, a Manager's SalesAmount should be an aggregated sum of Sales made by the Manager himself and the Sales made by his subordinates. When the selected date range in the timeline changes, the report must reflect this change.

The approach I tried was adding the ParentEmployeeKey column to FactSales in the data Warehouse, and then adding another roleplaying dimension 'DimManager' in my data model to connect to FactSales based on ParentEmployeeKey of fact with EmployeeKey of DimManager. The problem with this approach is this will only give me Manager related aggregations and I will have to create two separate reports for subordinates and managers.

The following table is a merged view of data from DimEmployee and FactSales. On report, I need to display either of the following:

Column A (applicable SalesAmount)Columns B1 (Manager's SalesAmount) & B2 (Employee's SalesAmount)

Can You Use Lists To Display A Hierarchial (parent-child) Report?

Mar 30, 2008

Hello Folks:

I was wondering if it's possible to create a report using lists and not tables that uses hierarchial data structure. I know how this would be done if I were to use a table but I like to use lists because of the freedom of object placements within them. Below is the standard recursive(hierarchial) example query from the AdventureWorks database that you would use for a table with detail grouping.

Select C.FirstName + ' ' + C.LastName + ' - ' + E.Title As Name, E.EmployeeID, E.ManagerID From HumanResources.Employee As E Join Person.Contact As C On E.ContactID = C.ContactID Order By E.ManagerID

Does anyone know how I would use just lists without using tables? Thanks.

Parent/Child Rows In Report, Nested Table, Textbox Value In Filter Condition

Mar 26, 2008

Hi All,

I am working on SQL server 2005 Reports.
I have one report, one dataset is assigned to it, and one table which displays it.
Now I come accros requirement that, the column value in the filter condition for the table is present in one textbox.

I can not use textbox i.e. reportItems in filter condition. Can someone suggest me how to use textbox value in filters?


I want to display parent/child records on report. I am not getting the proper solution.

The data is like this:

Sequence ItemCode IsParent

1 XYZ 0 'do not have child record

2 PQR 1 'have child records with sequence no 3

3 ASD 0

3 AFDGE 0

3 VDC 0

4 ASR 1 'have child records with sequence no 5
5 ASR 0

If IsParent = 1, that record has child records with sequence = parent sequenece + 1



I think u can understand the data I need to bind, and it is like:

XYZ

+ PQR

ASD

AFDGE

VDC

ASR

On + click we can do show/hide of child records.

I m not getting how to achive this in SQL server report. Can u give some hint?

Thanks in advance

Query Based Off Primary Key Of Parent Table - Adding Child Table

Jan 28, 2012

I need to add a child table that will tell us who the participants counselor is, what I did was I did a Make Table query based off the primary key of the Parent table and made that the link (foreign key) for the People_tbl and the Counselor_tbl, so if the counselor changes then the user adds the record to the counselor tbl and then puts in the Effective date. The problem is that when I run a report it doesn't show the present counselor always shows the old counselor?

Code:
SELECT Student_ind.StudentFirstName, Student_ind.StudentLastName, Student_ind.[Student ID], People_tbl.[Family ID], People_tbl.FirstName,
People_tbl.LastName, People_tbl.[Parent ID]
FROM People_tbl RIGHT OUTER JOIN
Student_ind ON People_tbl.[Family ID] = Student_ind.[Family ID]
WHERE (People_tbl.LastName = @Enter_LastName) AND (People_tbl.FirstName = @Enter_FirstName)

Bcp In Child Before Parent

May 19, 2004

Huh?

I've got good RI data...BUT..a developer loaded the tables in alpha table order....

Such that the child loaded BEFORE the parent....

Huh?

Got a test being set up now to mess with the child file to add a key that doesn't exist in the parent...

But Why is this allowed?

In DB2 you can specify

LOAD DATA REPLACE NO CHECK....

On the load card...you then need to run a check after to verify the data...

Is that what's going on? Is there such a utility in SQL Server to run a check post load?

I'm confused....

Any comments appreciated.

Thanks

Error Creating Report Model Based Upon Oracle Database

May 29, 2006

In MS Visual Studio, when creating a new Report Model Project, after defining a datasource to an Oracle database (and successfully testing it), and a simple datasource view (1 table), when I click "Run" in Report Model Wizard, I receive the following error:
"ORA-02179: valid options: ISOLATION LEVEL { SERIALIZABLE | READ COMMITTED }"

It does not appear that one can create Report Models from an Oracle database (since the SQL being used to query the Oracle database cannot be edited and contains syntax errors?). Is this the case?

Thank you.

Parent Child Transversing

Jul 16, 2005

I have a parent/child relationship in a relational database broken out like this:
Table Name: categories[category_id]         int            (primary_key NOT NULL),[category_name]       varchar(50),[parent_fk]           int
The parent references the category_id in the same table to create the parent/child relationships. I can get all the bottom level categories by doing this:
select category_id, category, parent_fk from categories where  category_id not in (  select parent_fk from categories)
Each bottom-level category has a count attached to it.
The problem I have is getting the counts rolled up for each parent of the bottom level. A parent could/will have multiple bottom-level categories (and counts).
My sql is a little weak, could you help me out?  I can utilize everying in SQL 2000 (stored proc, UDF, anything).
Thanks!

Hierarchy – Parent And Child

Aug 2, 2007

I am designing a table to represent data in hierarchy structure, I use id and parent id to represent the data in hierarchy form:

Id | parent_id
---+-----------
1 | 0
2 | 0
3 | 0
4 | 1
5 | 1
6 | 4
7 | 4
8 | 7
9 | 7


This structure requires complicated queries (recursive call) to find out all the child of a root node, so I have added another field for the root id.
Is this a good relational database design ? kindly suggest.

Id | parent_id | root_id
