Dimension usage multiple columns

In the Data source view, it is possible to create a relationship between a fact and dimension with multiple columns. How is this handled in the dimension usage pane? Can I create a dimensions that relates to a fact on multiple columns?
John Schroeder

Yes it is possible to have multi column relationships in SSAS multidimensional.
If you create the relationship in the DSV then when you create the cube the dimensions usage will pick up the columns in the relationship. If the cube already exists - when you add a dimension that has multiple columns in it's key attribute you can pick
which two columns in the fact should be used to link to the dimension.

Mapping a dimension to multiple columns

Hi
Is it possible to map a single dimension to multiple columns iin oracle olap ?

No. This is very different from your original question. It seemed like you were asking if multiple columns can be used in the dimension mapping. Of course the answer is yes – it is designed that way.
But re-using a single dimension multiple times in a cube makes no sense. You have to ask yourself if all 10 dimensions have the same business meaning to the end user. If all 10 dimensions have the same meaning, then you really only have 1 dimension. But if the meanings differ, then you need 10 separate dimensions.
It may look like the dimension values are 0 and 1 in the table, but their meanings probably differ wildly (i.e. male/female; processed/unprocessed; cash/credit; true/false; east/west; sales associate/sales manager; etc.).

Column missing in measure group columns list for dimension usage

I added some new columns (dimension ids) to my fact table and refreshed the data source view. Now the new columns show up in the data source view for this fact table. But when I go to dimension usage to tie the new dimensions to this measure, I am not able
to find the columns just added in the measure group columns list.
What do I have to do to be able to see my new columns in this list so that I can update dimension usage.
Thanks.

Hi kvd123,
According to your description, you add columns in fact table and the data source view is already refreshed. However, in dimension usage the meta data is not refreshed. Right?
In this scenario, I suggest you redeploy your cube. Because in Analysis Services, when we modify the cube, the changes are recorded in xxxxx.cube XML file. After you redeploy the cube, those changes are copied to Analysis Services server. Then
the source data will reload into the measure groups.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

BIDS 2008 - Dimension Usage new relationship Measure Group Column list empty?

Ive been updating my underlying schema, and DSV and now Im having to update some of the Dimensions. Looks like things got a bit "sideways" somewhere along the way. Now that Im going back to reassign dimensions being used within the
Dimension Usage tab of the Cube, the measure group column list is empty when I go to create a new relationship (regular type)

Hi shiftbit,
According to your description, you get an empty Measure Group Columns list when defining relationship. Right?
Based on your screenshot, you may notice that Measure group table is empty, so definitely it can't show any column in the dropdown list. If there's columns in the measure group that are related to the dimension columns, at least it will show the fact
table for Measure group.
In this scenario, please check if the fact table for the Measure group is existing. Re-process the Measure group and try again. If the issue persists, please re-create that measure group.

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Mapping multiple columns of a table to single dimension using odi

Hi John,
Can we map multiple columns of a table to a single dimnesion?
For example, in RDBMS, for the employee details, Grade position etc will be in different columns, and in Planning these would be as members of one dimension.
So while loading data from oracle to essbase can we map these multiple columns to single dimension?
If yes how?

Hi,
In your staging area/target you can concatentate the columns.
So in your interface and on your target datastore, pick the column which is going to hold the details of the concatenation.
Then in the expression editor use the CONCAT function, or you could use ||
eg CONCAT(<sourceCol1>, <sourceCol2>)
or <sourceCol1> || <sourceCol2>
obviously you need to change the information between <sourceCol1> to your source datastore column
Cheers

Multiple Columns in Integration Script

Hi All
I am looking at data integration from R12 to HFM, my client has decided not to use ERPi and instead is opting for custom built processes culminating in an FDM integration script to pull data from an ODI staging table / view (please don't comment on that bit I have tried to advise them!)
My issue is that when loading their TB data they want to do so in both entered and functional currency (members on the Custom4 dimension in HFM). What I am not sure about and would like some advice on is whether or not it is possible to have a multi-load style integration script with two data columns as I would be able to for file imports or whether I am limited to only 1 data column?
If limited I assume I can amend my integration script to loop through the recordset twice and pick up different data columns each time to create the second record?
Any help will be greatly appreciated :-)
Regards
Stu

i know your request is old but you can use the pivot unpivot function to transpose your multiple columns into lines in a temporary table. I do that for debit/credit/balance situations :-)

Multiple columns in a data file, but accounts not periods

Hi there,
A very quick question.
If I have a data file with, for example AcctDetail down the side and accounts across the top, am I right in thinking I can't load like this? Is it only periods that can be in multiple columns?
I'm trying to adapt an existing file, without changing it too much, but I think this might be beyond BPC!
Thanks,
Jason

Hi there,
The data I'm loading is actually Intercompany data for one unit, for one period.
So I have my affiliate (or counterparty, whatever term you use) down the rows, and the designated intercompany accounts across the top.
I don't need multiple columns for periods, as I'm only loading one period, but I would prefer to use multiple columns for Accounts dimension instead.
I know I can nest affiliates and accounts in the rows, but as I mentioned I would rather avoid changing the data file as much as possible.
Hope that make sense!
Thanks,
Jason

Budget Scenarios - multiple columns

Hi,
i have a question and I hope you can help me.
John-Michael Davis already helped me but what he told me did not help me much unfortunately, because what he told me, was done:
"I suspect that you have enabled cost accounting in one database and not the other. You can enable cost accounting from system initialization -> Settings -> Cost Accounting Tab."
I have two databases in different environments. In one, the budget can appear in multiple columns but another can not. In this issue, just put the sequence of steps do i try to put the columns of the Cost Accounting.
What am I doing wrong?
I'll explain through pictures, because it's more simple for me to explain.
This image (from another database), appears the extra columns:
The sequence that I do to appear the columns:
General Settings - Cost Account using 2 dimensions:
General Settings - Budget defined:
Chart of Accounts -> G/L Accounts master data extension check box
2 Cost Centers for different Dimensions:
Distribution Rules of the 2 Cost Centers:
The distribution rules associate at the Dimension "Areas" that correspond at the first Dimension don't present Stelle_z -> Centro Geral?
Table of Cost Centers and Distribution Rules for the two Dimensions
Cost Center Hierarchy for two Dimensions
A Small example of Reports:
Cost Center Report
Distribution Report
Cost Accounting Summary Report
Budget versus Cost Accounting
Budget Scenarios - Setup
Budget Scenarios – Setup – > In this it's missing field "Dimension" and "Cost Accounting Columns", so this not possible across other distribution rules (cost center)
Thanks,
Luís Pontes

Hi,
Maybe this post is very confusing, so i will summarize:
in my budget, i want to have the option of Cost Accounting, but I cannot.
I already activated the option Use Multidimensions but I still do not see the columns.
Does anyone know what should I do?
Or is it a mistake SAP?
Thanks,
Luís Pontes

Dimensions with multiple joins

Hi,
Discoverer Desktop 9.0.2
Discoverer Administrator 9.0.2
OWB 9.2
I have imported the dimensions and facts from OWB EEX file.
While I trying to create a report based on the dimensions, I found the problem in Dimensions used multiple times against the fact table.
For example,
I use the Time Dimension (TIME_DIM) for assigned date, open Date and Close dt. My fact table will have the foreign keys for these 3 columns.
TIME_DIM
DAY_ID
DAY_DAY
DAY_MONTH
DAY_YEAR
data
DAY_ID DAY_DAY DAY_MONTH DAY_YEAR
1 01-JAN-04 JANUARY 2004
2 01-FEB-04 FEBRUARY 2004
3 01-MAR-04 MARCH 2004
FACT_TABLE
DAY_ID
DAY_ID2
DAY_ID3
Data
DAY_ID DAY_ID2 DAY_ID3
1 2 3
1 1 2
While I am creating the report, in 'work book wizard: step 2' shows the TIME_DIM only one time, also it allows to select only one time with any one of these keys. Whereas I need to select the time dimension for each of the time keys in fact table.
Is their any work around to get these values in my reports?
I mean
My report will look like,
ASSIGNED DT OPEN DT CLOSE DT
01-JAN-04 01-FEB-04 01-MAR-04
01-JAN-04 01-JAN-04 01-FEB-04
I tried with creating hierarchies, modifying the SQL to add these keys manually and then import SQL, doesnt work at all.
Please help me !!
Thanks,
Shree

You have to load the table up several times into the EUL and create links to the different column in your fact table.

[38073] dimension has multiple leaf levels which are not identical

Hi,
I am trying to implement a time dimension with 2 source tables.
The time dimension is from minute to year where logical table includes 2 source tables :
Source table#1 : Year,month,week,day
Source table#2: hour,minute (minute is a leaf level and chronological key)
When i try to check-in i got the following error: [38073] dimension has multiple leaf levels with are not identical.
Thank you.
Michael

Hi RM
i am able to create multiple hirerachy in time dimension and assigned time_id as chronological key which is at the dimension detail level and acting as shared child level for both of them......
I have created AGO function for calendar year as
AGO(Test."Fact".amount_sold, Test."Time Dim"."Calendar Year", 1)
but when i have used AGO column in answers i am getting below mentioned error:-
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 22046] To use AGO function, the query level ('Calendar Year, Fiscal Year') must be a static level. (HY000)
any suggestion would be appreciated to solve this.
thanks & regards

Universe Builder - Setting Measurement Property to Multiple columns

Using the Universe Designer, when I add a table to my universe I would like to be able to set multiple columns to be measurements instead of having to click on each column and slect object properties and then select measurement instead of dimension. Is there any way I can do this?
Thanks

Hi,
It is only possible using the Designer SDK.
By the way there is an internal application developed with Designer SDK that does it.

GROUP BY with multiple columns.

I have little query about GROUP BY clause.
Sometimes we will give multiple column names in GROUP BY .If it behaves in the same way as ORDER BY (multiple columns) i would love to have an example where I can use GROUP BY multiple columns. Anyways howsoever it behaves it will be really appreciated if anyone can explain a scenario where GROUP BY with multiple columns can be used.
I know about the usage of aggregate functions with GROUP BY but using only one column.
Thanks..!!!

Hi,
Group by is used for grouping of same records. check this bellow scenario
SELECT registrationid, dateofbirth, age FROM prawin62 WHERE registrationid = 22;
22     1/23/1975     54
22     5/18/2011     66
22     5/18/2011     66
22     5/18/2011     66
22     5/18/2011     66
22     5/18/2011     66SELECT registrationid, sum(age) FROM prawin62 WHERE registrationid = 22 GROUP BY registrationid;
22     384SELECT registrationid, dateofbirth, sum(age) FROM prawin62 WHERE registrationid = 22 GROUP BY registrationid, dateofbirth ;
22     5/18/2011     330
22     1/23/1975     54Thanks,

Drill-down to multiple columns at same time

Hello,
Is it possible to simultaneously drill down to multiple columns on the same level with one click? I have several attributes that the user will want to see together at all times, so I want to be able to drill from level1 to level2a,2b, and 2c with one click.
Thanks,
Elliot

This drilling down to all the levels may not be available with the OBIEE drill level based hierarchy feature OOTB but as an alternative you can try this at you DB level to create a hierarchy within you data using START WITH and CONNECT BY PRIOR to generate the parent->child levels hierarchy within the view instead of creating multiple hierarchical columns.
Or may be you can try to create separate columns in a table for each hierarchy level. That table could either be in the database or be a logical one in the repository. For example:
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Description
1 2A 3A
1 2A 3B
1 2B 3A
1 2B 3B
etc
You then create separate reports for each level, so one report has only level1 in it for this dimension, another report has levels 1 an 2 and a third report has levels 1, 2 and 3 etc.
In each report you put an action link on the levels' cells so that if you click on them you drill up or down by displaying a new report with either less or more level columns.
Hope this helps. Pls mark if it does.
Thanks,
SVS

Comparison of multiple column values with a single column value

I have two separate tables say Tab1 and Tab2
I want to select some datas , which is common to both the tables.
In tab1 , there is a column 'STATE' and it's value is 'A'
In tab2, there are multiple columns for the state, say STATE_A,STATE_B, STATE_C ETC and a row is present with the following details
STATE_A = 1, STATE_B =1 ,STATE_C =0,STATE_D=1
I need to select STATE when STATE_A ='1',
if my STATE='B', this STATE has to be selected since STATE_B =' 1', similraly
if my STATE='D', this STATE has to be selected since STATE_D =' 1',
If my STATE='C', STATE_C should not get selected since it's '0'.
Is it possible to do this in a single SELECT statement, where I have some other checks also or else how can I achieve it?

Maybe this will help
Select * from STATE_MAS ;
STATE
A
B
D
F
H
Select * from STATE_CHILD
STATE_A STATE_B STATE_C STATE_D STATE_E STATE_F STATE_G STATE_H STATE_I STATE_J
1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION GET_STATE (P_VAL VARCHAR) RETURN NUMBER IS
V_SQL VARCHAR2(200);
V_COL VARCHAR2(35);
P_RETURN NUMBER ;
BEGIN
V_COL := 'STATE_'||P_VAL;
V_SQL := 'SELECT 1 FROM STATE_CHILD WHERE '||V_COL||' = 1 ';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE V_SQL INTO P_RETURN ;
RETURN P_RETURN ;
END;
SELECT STATE FROM STATE_MAS
WHERE GET_STATE(STATE) = 1 ;
STATE
A
D

JTextAreaCellRenderer to wrap text in multiple columns... any better way?

I would like to use a basic JTextArea cell renderer to wrap the text in a JTable cell, like in this thread
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=664671&messageID=3893724
Although the technique works, a disadvantage is that it cannot be used "as is" for multiple columns due to the setRowHeight/revalidate issue. One suggested workaround was to keep track of the maximum row height, as described here:
http://www.javaspecialists.co.za/archive/newsletter.do?issue=106
Both seem a bit rough. Are there any other options or more efficient techniques for automatically wrapping text in a JTable cell?

Hello, did you search online? there are many tutorials like this one: http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photoshop-text/text-effects/text-wrap/
You simply create a path, substract the parts you do not need, then click with the text tool inside.
Note that it is not a dynamic text wrap, you need to change it if you move the objects around.
