Error for the fact table while processing the cube - attribute key cannot be found when processing

Please help as I am new to SSAS and this is urgent requirement. This is a MOLAP cube and below is the error that I am receiving when processing the cube. The cube is set to Prrocess Full. Several similar errors are popped up for various dimensions.
"Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key cannot be found when processing: Table: 'Fact_Table', Column: 'ID', Value: '1'. The attribute is 'Id'. Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key was converted to an unknown member because
the attribute key was not found. Attribute Id of Dimension: 17 - Ves - PoC Cont from Database: DB, Cube: IPNCube, Measure Group: iSrvy, Partition: Partition1, Record: 1."
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the recommendations David.
It will be really great if you can clear some of my doubts:
To my information, all the dimensions need to be processed first and then the fact table will be processed.
So if the ID's are not present in the dimension tables, then it should not be present in the Fact table either.
Here we found null values in the dimension table and the ID's were present in the Fact table. What might be the reasons causing such situation?
Also how frequently the cube needs to be processed? Currently the ETL which processes the cube, is scheduled in a SQL Job Agent on hourly basis everyday.
Is there any possibilty that the cube might be under processing state and the SQL job for the next run getting executed trying to access and process the cube while it was still processing?

Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key cannot be found when processing: Table: performance_fact

Hi
We are using SSAS 2008 r2 and have a cube on our data warehouse, this has been running fine for quite a while now.
However it failed yesterday with the error message:
Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key cannot be found when processing: Table:
'Performance_Fact', Column: 'accountexternalId', Value: '9474'. The attribute is 'External Id'."
Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The process operation ended because the number of errors encountered during processing reached the defined limit of allowable errors for the operation."
An error occurred while processing the '2011' partition of the 'Fact' measure group for the 'DB' cube from the DB database.
Please can someone help me to resolve the error, I don't understand what it means.
Thanks

Hello,
The error means that you have a key in the fact data which don't exist in the related dimension. Ensure that the dimension is also processed so that it contains all used keys.

Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key cannot be found when processing

this is the absolute worst error message in all of computing. I despise it. Here is my situation.
SSAS 2008 R2.
I have one dimension. I have not even built my cube yet. only a dimension. I am trying to process it. I can process it when I only have a single attribute, they key. it is a composite key. When I add a new attribute (integer),
I get the error message. There are no null values. There are no blanks as its an integer.
The attribute key cannot be found where? I'm processing the dimension you idiot. there is not even a cube yet in order for any key to be found or not.

Hi Baracus,
According to your description, you get the error "Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key cannot be found when processing" when processing your cube, right?
Generally, the detail error message should like
Table: 'dbo_FactSales', Column: 'ProductID', Value: '1111'. The attribute is 'Product ID'
The above error explains that the fact table named "FactSales" contains column ProductID with value "1111" but the same ProductID is not present in your dimension table. There is a primary key - foreign key relationship exist
between the ProductID column of dimension table and fact table named "FactSales" and cube is unable to find ProductID with value 1111 in the dimension table.
At this time, what we need to do is to check either your dimension and fact table contains the value mentioned in the error message ( Value: '1111' in the above example). Here are some links about troubleshoot this issue, please see:

TIME dimension processing fails saying "..attribute key cannot be found.." in EPM 10

After upgrading from version 7.5 to EPM 10, when we ran a ‘Full Process’ on the TIME dimension, it ran into an error saying “Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key cannot be found when processing: Table: 'dbo_tblFactCapEx', Column: 'TIMEID', Value: '20090013'. The attribute is 'Time_TIMEID'. (1/13/2015 2:41:02 PM)”.
Full error message is attached herewith – ‘Time Dimension Error.txt’
After researching, we did discover that MONTHNUM needed to be converted to BASE_PERIOD. Re-processed which produced the same error.
Prior to migration to version 7.5, we ran a full process on TIME dimension there. It completed successfully, confirming the issue is only with version 10.
Confirmed we could see the TIMEID value of 20090013 in the following places:
Time Dimension in the appropriate TIMEID attribute column.
Confirmed mbrTIME table had base member ID with TIMEID attribute filled out correctly.
Data in tblFactFINANCE could be pulled using that TIMEID
We truncated all the records in all the fact tables associated to this TIME dimension.
Eventually, when none of the tables had any records, the TIME dimension then processed successfully.
We this began to suspect the issue may not really be related to bad records.
We conducted one more test to confirm this.
Using an input form in EPM 10, we manually entered data in one of the models (at this point none of the fact tables have any records)
Ran Full Optimize on that model with Compress Database and Index Defragmentation checked – This step failed with the error attached in ‘MatrixRateFullOptimize.txt’
Ran Full process on Time Dimension – Failed indicating issue with TimeID 2012001 (that’s my manual entry). Attached error report ‘TimeDim Error MatrixRate.txt’
At this point, the table only contains the manually entered records (no suspected bad records)
We then suspected there could have been an issue with the upgrade process.
So we reprocessed all the dimension and optimized all the models in version 7.5, made a new backup and restored it to version 10.
The issue still persisted!
At this point, we have tried all the possibilities we could think of. Each time the fact table is populated with records, the TIME dimension process fails indicating ‘the attribute key’ cannot be found.
There is probably something in the OLAP partition that is not able to link the dimension attributes to the cubes.
Additional Information:
Please find attached the existing Time Dimension – TimeDimensionMembers.xlxs
Version of Excel used: Excel 2007, SP3 MSO (12.0.6683.5000)
System Specs: Please see screenshot below.

Thank you all for responding! This issue is resolved.
Here’s what the issue was:
The time structure is TOTAL >> Years >> Quarters >> Months (e.g. T.ALL >> 2012.TOTAL >> 2012.Q1 >> 2012.P01)
As shown in the screenshot below, the LEVEL for ‘T.ALL’ member was set to YEAR, which is incorrect (we can’t have Year rolling up to a Year)
We changed the LEVEL to ‘TOTAL’ and this fixed the issue!!
If only it gave a better error message than the “..attribute key not found” message

Attribute key cannot be found : Data present but not processed

Hi there,
I know this question has been ask several time and I went through a lot of proposed solution but none were successful in my case. My cube processed successfully for month but now I have the following error :
Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key cannot be found when processing: Table: 'EventMember', Column: 'Id', Value: '22560966'. The attribute is 'Id'.
To explain my case here what I've got.
A dimension [Member Unique] where there is a bigint Id and some attributes. The only defined attribute in the dimension is Id.
When I process fully this dimension the query issued by SSAS to SQL (using the profiler) is the following :
SELECT
DISTINCT
[dbo_Member].[Id] AS [dbo_MemberId0_0]
FROM [dbo].[Member] AS [dbo_Member]
I verified that the Id 22560966 is present in the table and in the resulting set and that is the case.
Then I have the measure group EventMember based on a named query doing the following :
SELECT Id
FROM dbo.Member AS m
WHERE EXISTS
SELECT 1 AS Expr1
FROM dbo.Event AS g INNER JOIN
dbo.MemberHistory AS h ON h.Id = g.MemberId INNER JOIN
dbo.MemberVersion AS v ON v.HistoryId = h.Id
WHERE (v.AntvoiceMemberId = m.Id)
This query returns also the row 22560966.
When I process fully the measure group EventMember the query issued by SSAS is :
SELECT [EventMember].[EventMember0_0] AS [EventMember0_0],[EventMember].[EventMemberId0_1] AS [EventMemberId0_1]
FROM
SELECT 1 AS [EventMember0_0],[Id] AS [EventMemberId0_1]
FROM
SELECT Id
FROM dbo.Member AS m
WHERE EXISTS
SELECT 1 AS Expr1
FROM dbo.Event AS g INNER JOIN
dbo.MemberHistory AS h ON h.Id = g.MemberId INNER JOIN
dbo.MemberVersion AS v ON v.HistoryId = h.Id
WHERE (v.AntvoiceMemberId = m.Id)
AS [EventMember]
AS [EventMember]
And it crashes during the process giving me the above error.
I did try to allow missing key attribute error in the process option, and it ran successfully. It allowed me to issue an MDX statement on my cube to check if the dimension member was present. And it was not the case. Hence the error I think. The MDX statement
was :
SELECT [Member Unique].[Id].&[22560966] on 0
FROM MyCube
The the final question would be : Why this member which is returned by the SQL query is not present in my dimension ?
I tried deletiong my cube it did not changed a thing. A noticeable thing is that the faulty attributes key are the same every time.

Hi RodolpheAV,
The error means SSAS could not find a record in the dimension table [table name] where column [column name] contained value [value]. For more information, you can look into the following articles:
Error messages when you try to process a database or a cube in SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services: "The attribute key cannot be found" and "The record was skipped because the attribute key was not found:

Errors in the OLAP storage engine: A duplicate attribute key has been found when processing

Hi dear MSDN Community,
I am facing a problem while processing a cube with a customer hierarchy as follows:
Global Account --> Main Customer --> Master Customer --> Customer
The data comes from a flatted parent child table, that is, I create an extra column for every level of the hierarchy in the customer view. If a level is empty, then the value is filled with the previous value. Then I can use the property:
HideMemberIf = OnlyChildWithParentName for the intermediate levels (Main and Master Customer)
HideMemberIf = ParentName For the leafs (Customer)
HideMemberIf = never for the root (Global Account)
Consider this example:
Then, for the root level I am using as the key the fields in yellow in order to avoid duplicates. However, I am getting the error message "Errors in the OLAP storage engine: A duplicate attribute key has been found when processing" while processing.
I analyzed the query that SSAS issues to the server (select distinct ....) and I think it should work but it is still failing.
I had similar problems with the intermediate levels but I was able to solve it using a similar procedure.
Any help will be appreciated.
Kind Regards.

When are you having this error? While processing the dimension or during cube processing?

Error when build cube - A duplicate attribute key has been found when processing...

Hi all,
I got an error “Errors in the OLAP storage engine: A duplicate attribute key has been found when processing: Table…” when built new cube. It looks strange in my case. I created a small example to re-produce this error as below:
I create a data source table as below
AgencyName(varchar(50))-----MediaSpend(float)
OE------------------------------------100
Œ-------------------------------------200
Then I create a cube base on this data source with a dimension AgencyName and 1 Measure MediaSpend.
The error happened again. This look link a special case when ‘OE’ and ‘Œ’ existed in a dimension.
Do you have any ideas on this?
Thanks,

A duplicate attribute key has been found when processing

Hi
When I process one of my dimensions it fails and I get the following error:
Errors in the OLAP storage engine: A duplicate attribute key has been found when processing: Table: 'Customers', Column: 'DisplayName', Value: 'Stephen Grant'. The attribute is 'Display Name'.
I don't know if this is significant, but the attribute to which it is making reference was added through BIDS 2008 (the cube was originally created with BIDS 2005).
There are no duplicates of 'Stephen Grant' in the DisplayName column. Not that it should matter if there were as this attribute has a cardinality of Many, with an rigid attribute relationship directly to the dimension's key attribute. The Key column for the Display Name attribute simply refers back to the same (DisplayName) column in the table.
If I delete this record, or even just update the DisplayName field from 'Stephen Grant' to something else, the dimension processes just fine. I can't work out what it is about this record that is stopping the dimension from being able to process.
Can anyone help me figure out what's going on?
Julia.
P.S. I am using SSAS 2008 on Windows Server 2008

Here i have the Hierachies in order LoanOfficerFullName-->BranchName-->RegionName. Loan Officer is the lowest level. I had created another column and make that unique entries so that I could make the unique column as the Key and the hierachies i have linked with the key column value. The issue
is that i am getting the expected result in OLAP from data side. But the data is not getting aggregated like Team Barton is coming twice though for the Dimension I make IsAggregatable property to True. If anybody can help me I will aprecciate. If any other clarification need I can provide.

HT204150 Getting error message ("The set of folders cannot be opened") when clicking on "iCloud' folder in Outlook 2007. Lost contacts and calendar in outlook 2007 while installing icloud.

Vista + Outlook 2007 + Icloud : Lost all contacts and calendar in outlook when installing/Synchronizing iCloud. Both still available on iphone and iCloud.
How to get them back in Outlook? Understand iCloud erased them and transferred them in an other outlook account. In Outlook 2007, I can see a folder called "iCloud" but get an error message ("The set of folders cannot be opened...") when clicking on it. I suspect all is there, but no access possible. I assume some Outlook settings are uncorrect, but wonder which settings...?

Well. Working just fine now, since uninstalling and re-installing icloud and syncing.

Do you get any error code associated with this error message.
Does this happen with other pdf files too or with that specific pdf?

I need help every time my iTunes library updates i get this error messege: The iTunes.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder. but the file should be there.

Every time I have to upgrade iTunes it gives me this messege:'The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder.' the file should be there but I don't understand why it does this every time Apple upgrades the Itunes library. Its on the computer somewhere but it only affects this login on my computer (meaning on this Windows Account). Why does my iTunes do this? Then I have to spend hours placing all my libraries back together and all my music back into the library. Which usually takes me a few days to sort all out. What is wrong with my iTunes? The iTunes folder is a folder in my Music folder where I store the iTunes music/files/libraries at on my computer so I can have all of the iTunes files in one place on my computer.

I have a Windows 7 operating system my computer runs from.

I have tried a few things but iTunes closes right after i click okay. Anyone know anything?

Look in your Home > Music folder. There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl You want to guide iTunes to that file. If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.
