Sorting Parameter Listbox On Analysis Services Datasource
Feb 26, 2007
Hi all,
How must I change the mdx that is generated for the available values for a user parameter in order to get the content sorted?
Regards,
Henk
BTW the exact mdx query is given below (and the label field of the parameter is set to 'ParameterCaption'), but I would already appreciate an example of a simple mdx.
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS '[Organisatie].[Level 5 naam].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION'
MEMBER [Measures].[Nummer en Naam] AS '[Organisatie].[Kosten Nummer].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION +": "+ [Organisatie].[Level 5 naam].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION'
--MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS '[Organisatie].[Level 5 naam].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME'
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS '[Organisatie].[Level 5 naam].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL'
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption],
[Measures].[Nummer en Naam]
, [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS
, filter ([Organisatie].[Level 5 naam].MEMBERS,[Measures]) ON 1 ,
[Organisatie].[Kosten Nummer] on 2
FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@OrganisatieLevelnaam, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@KalenderFactuurPeriode, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@KalenderFactuurJaarNummerLang, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [FMR DWH Afgenomen Dienst])))
Can somebody on the SSRS product team double check me that I've written that up right? That seems like a pretty important change and I can't see it mentioned in BOL anywhere.
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've got a RS2000 report from Analysis services 2000. This report is working fine but after the upgrade to SQL2K5, i'm having issues with changes to parameters.
Basically i'm passing DateQuarter, CustomersLevel as parameters to the following mdx script. I've tried to change mdx script in RS2005 but no luck yet. I don't much about the parameter level changes in sql2k5. So can anyone suggest what is wrong in the script.
In sql2000 the script looks like this...
="with " & "member [Measures].[Ex Price] as 'coalesceempty([Measures].[Ex Price After Trade Discount - Detail],0.00)' " & "Member [Measures].[CustomerUniqueName] as '[Customers By Class].currentmember.UniqueName' " & "Member [Measures].[CustomerDisplayName] as '[Customers By Class].Currentmember.Name' " & "SELECT " & "{[Measures].[CustomerUniqueName],[Measures].[CustomerDisplayName]} on Columns, " & "filter({descendants(" & Parameters!CustomerClass.value & ", [Customers by Class].[" & Parameters!CustomersLevel.value & "], SELF)}, " & " [Measures].[Ex Price] > 0) on rows " & "from Sales "
i've changed the script in sql2005 but not working yet..
with member [Measures].[Ex Price] as 'coalesceempty([Measures].[Ex Price After Trade Discount - Detail],0.00)' Member [Measures].[CustomerUniqueName] as '[Customers By Class].currentmember.UniqueName' Member [Measures].[CustomerDisplayName] as '[Customers By Class].Currentmember.Name'
SELECT {[Measures].[CustomerUniqueName],[Measures].[CustomerDisplayName]} on Columns, filter({descendants( STRTOMEMBER(@CustomerClass), "[Customer Class]." + STRTOMEMBER(@CustomersLevel), SELF)}, [Measures].[Ex Price] > 0) on rows from Sales
I have a report which will one day display some data from an analysis services cube. my first step is to create a drop down parameter enabling the user to choose the date. I'd like to display only dates that have data, and I'd like it to default to today.
So I've created a dataset that will be the datasource for the dropdown displaying the available non-empty dates, which works fine.
SELECT measures.turnover ON COLUMNS,
nonempty([TBL DIM DATE].[DATE_ONLY].[DATE_ONLY].ALLMEMBERS ) ON ROWS
FROM [Itdev1 Hk]
I've also set the report parameter up to be a queried paramter,and to use the above dataset as it source, with [DATE_ONLY] displayed. and [DATE_ONLY] as the value.
Now, how do I get it to default to the last valid member in the list?
SSRS 2012 - VS2010...The report compares two years with a sort order on a value that has been engineered based on text switched to int. When sorting A-Z this is the result in the horizontal axis is: 5th, K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th..When sorting Z-A the result in the horizontal axis is:5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, PreK..Z-A is correct but A-Z sorting shows 5th as the start and end. The magnitude of the PreK location is correct but the label is wrong on the A-Z sort order. The sorting is implemented using the Category Group sorting option.
Stuck in a spot and hoping someone will nudge me in the right direction....
I'm trying to write to a sql db via a storedprocedure using a parameter. i'm pretty certain the below statement is causing the problem. but i'm not sure how to properly refer to it....
Dim connString As String connString = "integrated security=false;user id=sa;server=HCENT1;database=LicenseRenewal;persist security info=False" Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection(connString) Dim myCommand As New SqlCommand("InsertPage1", myConnection) myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure ' .......other (working) parameter statements......... Dim parameterDates As New SqlParameter("@Dates", SqlDbType.VarChar, 4000) parameterDates.Value = Session("lstDates") myCommand.Parameters.Add(parameterDates)
the session("lstDates") is the contents of lstDates.Items (listbox) from a previous page. i'm guessing its not valid to refer to it as a varchar, can someone point me to the proper way to handle this?
Hello everyone. I am using C#, and posted this in the C# forum, but was told to try here, as for some reason I just can't get this to work. Everyone was very helpful, but for some reason I keep getting a message that a value is not being given for one or more required parameters. This doesn't make any sense though, as I am specifying a value for all parameters...
Basically, I have a listBox that has several items in it. I want to update the database for each item that appears in the listBox. I can't seem to get this to work though, no matter what I try, and it is driving me nuts... lol

Does anyone know if this is possible right out of the box in SSRS 2005 against an OLAP data source?
I have several parameters. My second parameter is to be filtered based on the first parameter (kinda like cascading), but how do I do this against an OLAP data source? Lets say I have param1 and param2 in a dataset. I want Param2 to show the locations only based on what I select in Param1. Same but a little different: I have Parameter1 and then my second parameter (Param2) is a boolean (True/False). I want to show Parameter 3/Paramater 4 based on selection of Param2 (So, if true, show Param3, if false, show Param 4) and remember we are doing this in a sequence. Can you do this thru SSRS? Any help would be great. Thanks for your time in advance. Kent
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.
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?
1. As per my current development SQL Sever Analysis Database consists of two Cube (Cube A and Cube B). Cube A and Cube B share the same data source view (DSV1). The source for both these cubes has the same data source (DS1).
2. As per the requirement I need to create third Cube i.e. Cube C. Is it possible to create a second Data Source View (DSV2). The Source of second Data Source View (DSV2) will be the same data source(DS1).
I am thinking to create second Data Source View (DSV2) for Cube C because existing layout of the DSV1 has become complex. I wanted to know the pros and cons of creating a multiple data source view with same data source
Hi !!! I have a problem, I don't know how to do... I have 2 dataset from 2 differents XML dataSource... I want the result of one dataSet to be a parameter for the second !
I try to add a parameter in param tab, with expression, I choose DataSet and =Sum(Fields!ID.Value, "DataSetID") but when I execute the query, the prompt for the param appear, but the value of id was <NULL>...
Someone have ideas to resolve this problem ? thank you for your help !
I have, a SSAS 2012 tabular instance with SP2, there is a database on the instance with a read role with everyone assigned permissions. When configuring the Power BI analysis services connector, at the point where you enter Friendly Name, Description and Friendly error message, when you click next I receive the error "The remote server returned an error (403)." I've tested connecting to the database from Excel on a desktop and connect fine.I don't use a "onmicrosoft" account so don't have that problem to deal with.
We use Power BI Pro with our Office 365. As far as I can tell that part is working ok as I pass that stage of the configuration with a message saying connected to Power BI.The connector is installed on the same server as tabular services, its a Win2012 Standard server. The tabular instance is running a domain account that is the admin account for the instance (this is a dev environment) that account is what I've used in the connector configuration. It's also a local admin account. There is no gateway installed on the server.
I have a cube that we are processing nightly via an Analysis Service Processing Task in SSIS. In order to increase the performance of the processing time, we elected to use a lot of rigid dimension attributes, and do a full process of everything in the SSIS task. The issue that I am having is that after that task completes, I need to go into Visual Studio to deploy the cube becuase we are unable to browse or use the cube. This issue seemed to start once we changed the SSIS Analysis Service Processing Task to do a full process on the dimensions, rather than an incremental.
I would expect that once development is done, and it is processed and deployed, that is it. My thinking is that the SSIS task should just update the already deployed cube,
How to right choose key column in"Mining Structure" for Microsoft Analysis Services?
I have table:
"Incoming goods"
Create table Income ( ID int not null identity(1, 1) [Date] datetime not null, GoodID int not null, PriceDeliver decimal(18, 2) not null, PriceSalse decimal(18, 2) not null, CONSTRAINT PK_ Income PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (ID), CONSTRAINT FK_IncomeGood foreign key (GoodID) references dbo.Goods ( ID ) )
I'm trying to build a relationship(regression) between “Price Sale” from Good and “Price Deliver”.But I do not know what column better choose as “key column”: ID or GoodID ?
Hi, I need to do the following task, which is described by pseudo-code SELECT * FROM Customers SORT BY @SortExpression How can I do something like it (sorting according to input parameter) Thanks for any idea
I am trying to use the code below to set a formview datasource parameter in the page_load section of a user control (ascx file): public void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){ formview_datasource.SelectParameters.Add("@department_id", "e62bbc7d623f44a68e101cba90e839s3");} However I am getting the following error: Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Must declare the variable '@department_id'. So it would seem that page_load in my user control isn't being called? I'm not sure why or how to work around it. Has anyone else experienced anything like this or can give me some pointers on where I am going wrong? ThanksBrad
Everything I have read says that this is possible in Oracle 9 and greater versions, but I can't get it to work...
Here is my query:
select * from employee where employee_id in ('111','222')
This works fine in the data tab until I replace the values with a parameter. I get the pop-up to enter the parameter values but no matter how I enter them, I don't get any rows returned. I've tried entering them as '111','222' and as 111,222 and changing the parameter type from a string to an int, but nothing seems to work.
I am running this on SQL Server RS 2005 and my Oracle driver (Oracle in OraHome92) is version 9.02.
Now my problem is that this value of this string is actually an integer. The reason this is a data type string is because its a dimension and these are always string only measures are integer...
Can someone help me make this MDX query sort on integer value instead of string.
[Time].[Week].MEMBERS contains values like 8,11,20 but is declared are string because its a dimension please help me out because i'm getting the feeling this is impossible with this microsoft tool...
I used Datagrid to show "Title", "Location" and "Date", It works very well. I want to sort DataGrid data, that is when user click the "Title", "Location" or "Date", my asp.net code will through class and send "Sort" parameter to stores procedure to get the new data and bind to DataGrid.
Here is my stores procedure:
CREATE Procedure JobSearch ( @Search varchar(150), @Sort varchar(50) ) AS
I have created a report using Report designer (Visual Studio, using Data Model as a data source), in the report I had created few datasets (with single filed) to populate the report parameters, lets say I have created a multi valued Parameter CustomerName and assigned field from a dataset,
result are coming correctly and combo box is getting populated but the customers are not in alphabetical order!
I want to sort it and need to specify it in report (please note that I am using Report Model as a data source and I cant sort the source table in the data base to get the result sorted)
Please let me know if anybody has done that or forward me if know some link which talks about it.
I am facing one problem with reporting services 2005 (SSRS), When i try to pass a parameter to Cube which is built in SSAS, i can not use a parameter where i can type the value instead of choosing it from a dimension.
Any way we can type the value for parameter, instead choosing from the drop down? If can, then how can we create the parameter? and how can i write a MDX to read it?
am doing proof-of-concept for reporting services reports getting data via web services.
got it working for simple examples (passing back strings etc) also woking passing back an object but cant get it working with a dataset - am having trouble filtering out the XML resultset
this is my webmethod [WebMethod] public DataSet DSetExample() { DataSet ds = new DataSet("XMLTest"); DataTable dt = new DataTable(); DataColumn dc; dc = new DataColumn("IntegerColumn1", System.Type.GetType("System.Int32")); dt.Columns.Add(dc); dc = new DataColumn("StringColumn1", System.Type.GetType("System.String")); dt.Columns.Add(dc); dc = new DataColumn("DecimalColumn1", System.Type.GetType("System.Decimal")); dt.Columns.Add(dc); dc = new DataColumn("DateTimeColumn1", System.Type.GetType("System.DateTime")); dt.Columns.Add(dc); DataRow drow = dt.NewRow(); drow["IntegerColumn1"] = 1; drow["StringColumn1"] = "WTF"; drow["DecimalColumn1"] = 205.299; drow["DateTimeColumn1"] = DateTime.Parse("22/May/1966"); dt.Rows.Add(drow); ds.Tables.Add(dt); return ds; }
this is my basic query <Query> <ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">* </ElementPath> <Method Name="DSetExample" Namespace="http://localhost/testservice1"> </Method> </Query>
this just gives me the first node details
but when ever i try and specify the elements i want by using the ElementPath nothing comes back....
just need to know how to specfiy the ELEMENTPATH to return the dataset details...
I was wondering if it's possible to use a sharepoint list as datasource in reporting services ? If yes, what's your trick ? Is it possible to use a directory as datasource in reporting services ?
Hello, I have a problem when trying to fully process an SSAS database using Integration Services "Analysis Services Processing Task" task. I have 2 of these tasks which are responsible for processing the Dimensions then the Cubes. When I run the package either via the BIDS environment or on the local server from the Integration Services engine, I will get an error after about 20 minutes stating:
"Error: Memory Error: Allocation failure. Not enough storage is available to process this command""Error: Errors in the metadata manager. An error occurred when loading the <cube name> cube from the file \?D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2OLAPDataMyWarehouse<cube file>.xml"
The cube name is not specific, it will fail and any of my cubes could be in the error log
If I fully process the AS database using the AS engine (logon to local AS server, right-click AS database and click Process), I get no errors at all, it processes and completes fine. The processing options are identical when I run in AS or via the SSIS "Analysis Services Processing Task" task.
I've searched quite a lot online but no joy, the information I have gleaned from various sites does not directly link SSIS with SSAS processing problems.
When either the AS processing starts via SSAS or SSIS the memory usage of MSMDSRV.exe increases to around 1.4 / 1.5 GB but never goes to 2GB ever, even when the error appears.
I've done the following with no effect.
" Have run via AS and works fine " No specific cube it fails on " Have created a Dimension only package, same problem " Changed the maxmemorylimit " Changed the connections to localhost " Memory DOES NOT max out on server
Server Specs: Windows Server 2003 Standard + Service Pack 2 4GM ram, 2GB paging file
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]
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?
