The drillthrough in my cube is working fine except for the cases where the dimension member is null. For example I have the dimension
PRODUCT (dim)
- PROD_TYPE_CD (name = PROD_TYPE_CD || '-' || PROD_TYPE_NM)
- PROD_CD
-PROD_NM
So for if the data is like the following where the PROD_TYPE_CD is null :
- (name = -FOOD)
- 123
- bread
The drillthough is not displaying any data no matter I select the PROD_TYPE_CD, PROD_CD or PROD_NM in the dimension drop down altough if query the DB directly I found data to display in the drillthrough
Any ideas why this is happening and how to solve it.
I have a master report that uses the "Jump to report" property to drill through to a detail report when the user clicks a report column value. This all works great and the users love it. However, when I click the brower's "Back" button to return to the master report, the master report is rerun and I am returned to page 1. If I drilled through on page 25 of the master report then I have lost my original position and I must navigate back to page 25. The users don't love this "feature"!
Is there a way I can return from the drill through detail report to the master report without using the browser's back button and losing my original position in the master report?
Hi people My users are having troubles with link to default drillthrough report when reports are exported to excel (they REALLY don't like this behavior ), so I decided set all of them disabled in report model, this work fine, but calculated field in reports has this drillthrough link.
Let me show you the situation. Entity Product has an UnitaryCost field, I set the EnableDrillthrough Property in False so when I export a report with this field, no link is shown.
But if I create in the report a calculated field Round(UnitaryCost) this field has a Drillthrough Link
Is this the standard and expected behavior? or its simply a BUG?
Have I done something wrong in my model? and in this case, How I can correct this?
I'm working with the SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. When i created a mining structure for association rules and go into the rule by drillthrough there's something i don't understand.
In the SQL Server the data set is:
ID: MM: MF: 47 463 200
And drillthrough shows me:
ID: MM: MF: 47 476 227
Why is the result of drillthrough another than in the table of the SQL Server???
Our OLAP environment involves an ETL/Data Warehouse/Data Mart server and a cube publisher server. We would like to learn how to automate the Archival/Restore of OLAP databases. We are currently doing it manually though OLAP Manager. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. James.

On the subject of Data Warehouses, Data Cubes & OLAP….I would like to speak frankly about Data Warehouses, Data Cubes andOLAP (on-line analytical processing). Has it dawned on anyone elsethat these buzz words were created by some geek who decided to take astab at marketing? Knowing that to the backwoods manager who knowslittle of technology that new innovative names for old concepts wouldhelp to sale their products.I mean seriously, what is the story here? In a nut shell, and pleasestop me if you disagree, but isn’t a data warehouse simply adatabase? Can’t you do everything on a conventional databaselike SQL Server, Oracle or DB2 that you can do on these newproprietary Data Warehouse constructs? I mean who are they trying tofool?Take a look, for instance, at Data Cubes. Who hasn’t noticedthe striking similarity between data cubes and views used in all themore robust databases? Also, what about OLAP? OLAP is nothing morethan a report generator. There’s nothing you can do with thesemillion dollar price tagged Data Warehouse total solution packagesthat I can’t do with SQL Server, Oracle or DB2…for thatmatter Microsoft Access.As an example some sales people for Metadata Corporation has the VicePresident of I.T. in Nashville, for Healthspring, sold on their totalsolution data respository which is such a scam. All they had to dowas throw a couple of buzzwords at him and they have him hypnotized.Personally, I feel that these kinds of marketing practices undermineour industry. It helps to unravel what little standards orconsistency we have. What do you guys think?Stuart
I am starting using OLAP service. The first problem the first day I use it.
I setup a system DSN for OLAP under ODBC source. I use SQL driver to create a data source to a SQL server. I am using SQL SA login account. Then I go into OLAP manager create database. Then in the library I set up a data source using the DSN I created before.In the General Tab I use OLE DB for ODBC provider. After this I try to create a new cube using the wizard. I got error the message that the SQL login is invalid. I double check it is right login account. I failed several times. Then I tried directly create data source under library and not using the DSN I created before. The first time it failed again has the same message. Then the second time when I create data source I use NT authentication instead SQL login. Now everything went fine. I was able to create a cube. But I still wondering what is preventing using SQL login account when creating data source.
Hello,If I wrote the next ebay (yes I know, yawn-snore) and I had a databasewith 5 million auction items in it, what would be a really goodstrategy to get a search done very quickly? Would it involvesomething called OLAP and/or "data mining"? The only technology I amfamiliar with is simply SQL Server databases with stored procedures.I think I'd be guessing correctly and say that this technology simplywouldn't be fast enough *on it's own* to do super fast queries againstmassive amounts of data.Any insights would be of great interest. Thanks.-Frameworker.
I have an OLAP server and would like to use my Chart FX software without having to purchase the OLAP extensions on the server due to budget restraints (ouch).
I've heard that it is possible (although limited) to attach toan OLAP cube using SQL select statements (not MDX).
Basically, I would like to pull the OLAP data in the relational sense.
Is this possible? If so, are any good articles on this subject?
I'm new to OLAP and would like to transition slowly.
I prepared an OLAP cube for the report data source in the SSAS 2005. The OLAP cube consists of more than 20 dimensions and several measure groups. I then created the subset/view of the OLAP cube using the "Prepective" function and limit to not more than 7 dimensions on each of the subset. How do I reference the OLAP cube subset as the data source when developing the report in the report designer. Furthermore what is the advantage of creating multiple smaller OLAP cubes with less dimensions comparing to one big OLAP cube with several subset/view attached to it. Thanks.
After reading some threads on this forum about accessing OLAP data from SSIS via an OLE DB Source component (and trying it myself and getting that "pcrsstore.cpp line 325" error), I have worked around the problem by using a Script Task component.
This calls a .NET assembly I wrote that uses ADOMD.NET to get at the data using an MDX query, and then actually posts an event to a Notification Services instance via a stored proc.
Writing, deploying, and maintaining a .NET assembly is more than I wanted to do, but it was worth the effort since now I know a little about extending SSIS when I need to.
But what I really wanted to do was the following, all from within the core components of SSIS:
Import my OLTP data into my relational warehouse (already done using SSIS) Process the cube (already done using SSIS) Access the cube via MDX and post an event to Notification Services It's this last step that needed some special work because of SSIS's apparent limitation accessing cube data (although posting the event to NS would be easy because SSIS can call a stored proc on the NS application database). So I'm hoping that a future release or service pack of SSIS will give us some components to run MDX and get the OLAP data into the pipeline as if it were from any other source. Thanks for reading, and if anyone has any suggestions on a better way to achieve what I need please let me know! -Larry
I am using data flow task.And data flow source uses ole db for olap 9.0 to connect my ssas. sql comment is my access mode. A mdx query extracts data. Data flow destination is sql server table. Error said Data Flow Task: OLE DB Source [579]: The output "OLE DB Source Output" (589) references an external data type that cannot be mapped to a Data Flow task data type. I guess it is a implicit data type convertion problem. But how to solve it???
I'm working with PivotTable on Excel 2000 which is connected to an OLAP server (from SQL Server 7 installation). The pivot is intended to analyze Sales during April 2001. Yesterday I found out that OLAP/Excel returned/displayed inconsistent data. The 'April Total' value is NOT equal to the 'Quarter 2 Total' (I already inspected the underlying database and sure that there is absolutely NO data for months after April 2001). The value for 'April Total' is the correct one. I'm not sure whether the problem resides on the OLAP Server or Excel (pivot) itself. For ones who like to help me I would be glad to supply you with the screenshots (just email me). Please help.
I have a .rdl file that was exported out of ProClarity's Desktop Professional 6.1 using their RS plug-in. I uploaded the file into Report Manager and when I execute it, I get the following error:
An error has occurred during report processing.
Query execution failed for data set 'Three_Month_Funding_Trend'. Unable to recognize the requested property ID 'ReturnCellProperties'.
Does anyone have any idea what this is referring to? Does it have something to do with my configuration, connection or the report definition? Other reports such as DBMS based reports work fine.
I've generated some mining models against an OLAP data source (dimension). However, when I go to generate a lift chart, it seems that the only data source that can be used for input is the data source view (the relational database). Is that right? Or is there something I'm missing here.
I was figuring I'd use one slice to train the model, then another slice to test the accuracy of the results. But right now it's looking like I can't do that.
1. SQL Server Data Warehouse 2. OLAP CUBE in Analysis Services
My question is - If my SQL Server Data Warehouse is changed (Having Append Data) - Is that My OLAP Cube will have the Append Data?
It's possible, my OLAP Cube always having Append Data if my Data Warehouse is changed? If yes, how to do it without re-deploy and re-process my Analysis Services Project.

Hello,Can I import an OLTP (Reltional DB) as a Data Source into SQL ServerAnalysis Services 2005 and then use the Cube Wizard and the new DataSource View feature to create the OLAP model ?Or do I have to first design an OLAP Data Warehouse with a Star Schemaand then import this DW as a Data Source into my Analysis ServicesProject.With SQL Server 2000 , OLAP would be the way to go..but with SQLServer 2005 , it seems as though the wizard and data source viewfeatures do half the work for you.I have an OLTP DB and am not sure which route I should take ! Anysuggestions / input would be much appreciated.Thanks in Advance...RegardsRusszee
I have created database and OLAP cube in Analysis services using SSAS.In SSAS I have used a datasource which is using SQL tables to populate OLAP cube.Now when I added some more data to my SQL tables and trying to deploy cube,the newly added is not getting populated in the cube.So i want run SSIS package which will import data from SQL tables to this OLAP cube.
Can you please help me how to write this SSIS package to import data from SQL tables to OLAP cube.(Very urgent issue)
I am a confused newbie, grateful for some help. I need to select 10 rows from total profit of married people. How would I do that?
DRILLTHROUGH MAXROWS 10 SELECT {[Measures].[Total Profit]} on 0, [customer].[Name]ON 1 ON columns FROM from [Electronics] WHERE [Demo].[civilstatus-salary].[civilstatus].&[married]} RETURN [Measures].[Total profit](as rows)
I have created two reports. One links to the other with a drillthrough. The linking works fine, but no values show up in the fields besides the group titles and column titles. Why is this happening?
The user is given a list of Counties with values. The Counties(in a matrix) are clickable for a drillthrough of Ages and Genders in the Counties. Looks something like this:
Years
Counties Total Crashes Fatalities
Cook 85 98
Manchester 2850 258
Sagamon 987 526
So when a user clicks a county, such as "Cook", this is displayed
Years
Age Gender Total Crashes Fatalities
0-8 Female 25 8
Male 55 15
9-15 Female 850 258
Male 185 35
16-22 Female 87 526
Male 10 35
But I am getting this in :
Years
Age Gender Total Crashes Fatalities
0-8 Female
Male
9-15 Female
Male
16-22 Female
Male
Whats going on? Can anyone make any suggestions? Just to let you know its based off of an Analysis Services Cube and not relational tables.
Trying to drillthrough one report to another. But im not getting the correct values. I dont know why its not working. I created the parameters and linked them in the properties of the clickable field. What am i missing? or is it more complex in a cube to drillthrough then relational tables?
We have a drillthrough report that our users will see as part of an ASP.net page. I would like to nicely show the parameters that were sent through from the main report, maybe in a text box of some kind. However, when I set a text box value to =Fields!FieldName.value, I get the tuple: [Dimension].[Hierarchy].&[Member]. I just want the Member.
I know I can parse out the value, but is there any easier way that I'm missing. We aren't using the parameter bar that comes with RS, we want the report itself, above the matrix with the data, to show the parameters.
Any ideas, resources, references, links or good clean jokes would be appreciated.
I've published a matrix type report through report builder to my report server, based on the model I created. When I click the subtotals to drillthrough, I receive the following error:
"The permissions granted to user 'Domainuserid' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)"
If I explicitly specify another report to tie to the drillthrough property on the entity via the model property page in SSMS, the drillthrough stuff works fine. But if I just rely on Reporting services to auto generate ( see "Autogenerated" here ) the clickthrough report I get the error above. Can anyone help?
I'm trying to use the drill-through feature to link to a report in the same solution, on the same server, but in a different project. Local help files say:
"The list of report names includes all reports in the current report server project. If the drillthrough report is on the report server but is not in the project, type the name of the report. The report name can contain a relative or absolute path to the report."
Can someone give an example of a relative or absolute path? Nothing I've tried has worked.
Please help to create DRILLTHROUGH in a report server project. I am a beginner . I want the DRILLTHROUGH featrure in Report server like same as that of analysis server project
I have enabled drillthrough on a cube (AS 2005) and selected the columns required. This worked. When I use the drillthrough option in Excel, drillthrough queries return less rows than expected. For example, for a cells combinations (pivot table) I saw 21198 rows, but after access to detail, query return just 21106 rows. Less rows than expected.
I am working on a Actuals vs Budget report which needs drillthrough capability. Right now the reports are not deployed, I am working on them in Visual Studio 2005.
My main report has a text box with the Navigation tab set to Jump to report: DrillThrough1025. I have set all the parameters to pass through to the drill through report.
When I preview my main report and click on the drillthrough textbox, the DrillThrough1025 Report opens, but it opens with the parameter bar at the top, waiting for the parameters to be filled in.
Am I making a basic newbie error somewhere?
Any ideas, references, or resources would be greatly appreciated.
