Reporting Services - Analysis Services - Displaying Dimension Members As Columns
Dec 3, 2006
I think I've seen a similar post on a blog or on the forums - but it seems like this should be possible -
I have an MDX query - that works fine in SQL Enterprise Manager, and has my dimension members on columns, and my measures on the rows. When I try the same query in Reporting Services, I get the error:
"The query cannot be prepared: The query must have at least one axis. The first axis of the query should not have multiple hierarchies, nor should it reference any dimension other than the Measures dimension..
Parameter name: mdx (MDXQueryGenerator)"
Although it works when you pivot the view, I really need my data presented with the members on the columns and the measures on the rows. Another forum post mentioned using the SQL 9.0 driver, but I can't see this listed anywhere (the only one I see is the .NET framework Data Provider for Microsoft Analysis Services).
Here's what my query looks like -
SELECT
{ [Time].[Month].&[2006-09-01T00:00:00] ,
[Time].[Month].&[2006-10-01T00:00:00],
[Time].[Month].&[2006-11-01T00:00:00],
[Time].[Month].&[2006-12-01T00:00:00]
} on COLUMNS,
{
[Measures].[Unique Users],
[Measures].[UU Pct 1],
[Measures].[UU Pct 2],
} ON ROWS
FROM [Cube]
Do anybody know if Analysis Services 2005 allows cashing (storing) calculated members ?
There is a cube in Analysis Services 2000 with a calculated member based on some running sums. The performance of MDXs is too slow because running summs are being recalculated for each member of time dimension on each call.
I think that caching calculated members might help me and hope that this feature exists in Analysis Services 2005 .
I've got a dimension built from a fact (whatever that's called?) ... it's a date interval field, i.e. 0-5 weeks, 6-10 weeks 11+ weeks. How do I sort these members in the respective order? Looks like this currently:
The problem lies in the fact that I don't have any secondary attributes to order it by, i.e. it's not a physical dimension where I can use a key for the 3 members. I was hoping I wouldn't need to create a separate dimension to get round this.
We have a date dimension which spans till 2099 and there are future projection numbers (under measures). I want to limit the data for Future projections only to 5 years from today by default. Is there a way to do this with in the cube. I understand that this can be done using MDX but since we use excel to view the data from the cube it needs to be controlled with in the cube.
Trying to create a time dimension off of a large table. When I go with the default "start year at Jan. 1", everything goes fine. When I switch that to July 1, however, (drat those fiscal years, anyway), the construction of the dimension times out. Any suggestions?
I have a database with millions of users with email addresses. I want to create an email domain dimension that groups domains into all the big email domains (hotmail, aol, yahoo) and an "other" consisting of all the other domains. I can create a table with entries for the big domains, and get the grouping working but anything that is not a big domain will get thrown out rather than put into an "other" category.
I have an analysis services 2005 cube with a lot of Calculated Members (for example I have a "Sales Volume in kg" and a "Sales Volume in squaremeters (m²)" and a calculated member "Sales Volume in g/m²" with (kg * 1000 / m²), and so on. This Measures should be shown with a hierarchical Product Dimension in which I can drilldown from a level1 to a level 4.
I can select them all with a MDX Query in the Data-part of reporting services. In the layout-part, I have a matrix-control which should show the values in the above form. The value-part of the matrix has the form "sum(field)". I know, it's not correct, I believe I should use "AVG(field)".
When I use non-calculated fields, all works ok. With calculated fields, I get the error
[rsAggregateOfMixedDataTypes] The Value expression for the textbox €˜textbox3€™ uses an aggregate function on data of varying data types. Aggregate functions other than First, Last, Previous, Count, and CountDistinct can only aggregate data of a single data type.
It's the same with sum and avg (as the error message tells me). But how can I use such fields in reporting services? My users wants a report with the product hierarchy vertical and the salews volume g/m² horizontal so that the values are correct on every level the drill in. In Excel, OWC or other analysis clients, it's no problem to do this, but I can't find a way, doing this in reporting services.
I'm trying to create reports in RS2005 using AS2000 as my data source. I understand that if I use RS2005 on AS2000, I wont be able to enjoy the OLAP based parameters as in using AS2005. Does anyone know an easy way to easily use Parameters in RS2005 while still using AS2000?
i have a small problem with the data sources in the reporting services, maybe you can clarify the situation... I have a MS CRM 3 solution with the reporting services 2005 installed. From an other vendor we have a arcplan solution on the 2000 analysis services. I would like to get access from the 2005 reporting services to the 2000 cube. Is this possible? Ive read that the SSMS cant connect to the 2000 cubes. Can i connect from the reporting services??
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? The Dim Build wizard doesn't createthe hierarchies, manually setting "parent" property to parent_id and "key"to child_id as well as dragging and dropping the stuff into the hierachyfield haven't just led to success. I also tried to right-click bothparent_id and child_id to create a member property. It just never workedout.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Kind regards,Joerg
In the SSIS Analysis Services processing task, I was wondering if anyone knows why some dimensions do not have the Process Update option in the list of options for processing them? If there is only Process Full, Process Data, and Unprocess, I am not sure how I can do incremental updates without scripting.
Also, will this affect the cubes if a full process is performed?
Setup: Reporting Services and Analysis Services are on the same server. Active Directory User. Default configuration of Reporting Services.
Problem: Reporting Server does not apply Analysis Services Role after login.
Details:
I have created a report that retreives data from the Analysis Service. I created a role and added my user company/myUserName to the role.
On the Reporting Server I set the data source to :
* Credentials supplied by the user running the report and Use as Windows credentials when connecting to the data source
Internally when I connect devsql2005/Reports/ReportName I get the user and password fields. When I fill them in I get the report but I can see all the data while my role was restricted to see only few results.
Can anyone suggest what may be wrong? Any articles or tutorials on how to setup and deploy solutions where Report Server is talking to Analysis Services and NOT Sql Server.
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
I have a cube with a fact table and 3 dimensions. Â One of the dimensions is a type 2 and surrogate key is stored in fact table. Â If i query the database, the dimension attributes display correctly, however the cube is always displaying the latest dimension attribute and not preserving the history. Â
The measures are correct for the time period displayed, but the dimension attributes always show the latest values.
I have Reporting Services on one server and SQL and Analysis Services on another Server. I can develop a report using Analysis Services as the source from my local machine and it works fine. When I deploy it to the Reporting Services Server, it gives the following error:
An error has occurred during report processing. Cannot create a connection to data source 'DataSource1'. A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
Hello I have been working on reporting services fetching data out of Sql Server. I want to know,if there are any sites than have information on working with MS.Services and Analysis Services together. Analysis Services is something I have no knowledge about.
I have an important question and I've been roaming on MSDN and the internet to find a CLEAR answer. I'm really stuck here.
Is there a way to build a DYNAMIC Report with Visual Studio 2005 (SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio) and having a Cube (SQL Server 2005) as datasource?
I want a report that will act as the interface of the Cube browser in Analysis Services. I don't want to give access to the Cube Browser to users, but I want them to be able to drill-through the cube.
I'm currently involved in a project where I am working on an application utilising ASP.NET with a SQL Server 2005 backend.
So far, it has worked well - however, there is a seperate team that has a bunch of reports using Reporting Services 2005 that we would like to display on our site.
Obviously, the 2.0 Reporting Services control is not going to work on 1.1, i was wondering is that any sort of way for me to display these RS reports on my 1.1 site?
Im trying to display all twelve results from a dataset in reporting services. On the layout tab I can get the first and last record in my dataset to display by using the commands:
I am using SQL Server 2005 and SSRS 2005, and I am trying to display a PDF (image datatype, application/pdf filetype) from a SQL Database. Â There is no MIME option for PDF, so it seems my options are limited. Â Is there a way to display the PDF, or maybe convert the binary data at the database level?
sorry im new with using Reporting Services and even more inexperienced with using cubes.
My situation is as follows. I perform dynamic grouping (user selects the view via a parameter) Depending on the view selected, I need to change the dimension filter in the dataset.. Is this possible ?
I had a problem accessing our report manager via the web front... We deleted the virtual directories in IIS and then recreated them... this required us to make a change in the rsWebApplication.config file to include the URL in the ReportServerUrl tag before we could access the site again. Now we have access to the site but when we attempt to view a report that we deployed to it - the report fails to render and returns a rsReportNotReady error, even though the report doesnt use a snapshot.
Furthermore, the strange thing is that the filters for the report don't display in their own collapsable bar as they used to before... they just display on the white part of the page. Neither does the reportviewer toolbar display properly. It appears as labels and textboxes going down the page and not in a toolbar as you might expect...
any help is appreciated... we suspect that it is some kind of configuration issue, but we have no clue where to begin...
I have created .RDLC file/report in MVC, but in Report Viewer when i try to display next page, i am unable to see the next page. it is just displaying the first page data and charts only.
Hi all, We are displaying an SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services report in our ASP.NET 1.1 application by accessing the report through URL and embedding the same in an iframe HTML web control. The user can export the report contents into CSV format by making use of the export functionality provided by Reporting Services. Now we have been asked to display a warning mesage to the user when the no. of records in the report exceeds 1 million i.e. if the no. of records in the report exceeds 1 million and the user tries to export the report to CSV format by clicking on the "Exprot" link button, we need to display a warning message to the user. My doubt is whether this can be done in Reporting Services. Are there any programmatic interfaces exposed by Reporting Services which might help us implement this requirement ?
Indicators are not displaying when I deployed the report in report server and access that report using browser. I have checked this in both Internet Explorer and Google Chrome browsers.
Current Version Of SQL SERVER is : SQL Server 2014 (SP1 +Â Cumulative update package 1 for SQL Server 2014 SP1) has been installed.Â
But in development environment (SQL SERVER Data Tools for Visual Studio 2012 ) these indicators are displaying properly using Preview section.
I want to set the default value of the parameter based on the query result, when the current_status parameter is set as "opened" I want a certain date value to be displayed in the next parameter (start date), if it is set as closed I want a different date value to be displayed in the next parameter (start date), so I created the dataset with the query given below and assigned the default value to the query fields start and end date, however my Report parameters are not changing as expected.
dataset query:
IF @current_status = 'Opened' SELECT DISTINCT cast(DATEADD(yy, DATEDIFF(yy, 0, getdate()), 0) AS date) AS Start_Date1, cast(MAX(estcompletion_date) AS DATE) AS End_date FROM <Table Name> ELSE IF @current_status = 'Closed' SELECT     distinct cast(DATEADD(yy, DATEDIFF(yy, 0, getdate()), 0) AS date) AS Start_Date1, cast(getdate() AS DATE) AS End_date FROM <Table Name>
I have written a sql query which gives me data in report in below format..Need to display data in following format
Client data row has nothing to do with address data row Client are just a distinct list of Client and do not line up with any address . In other words, the order and vertical alignment have nothing to do with the address on the right.
