Dynamic Measures and dimensions

Is it possible to use dynamically both dimensions and measures in one report - I.e. to have two sets of input controls, one for dimensions and other for measures?
Thank You

Hi,
yes you can have both - for quantities, for qualification
but i'm not sure what dynamic requirements you might have between them.
the webi application's own help files has lots of information about this.

SSRS report with tabular model – MDX query how to get the sum and count of measure and dimension respectively.

Hello everyone,
I am using the following MDX query on one of my SSRS report.
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Days Outstanding], [Measures].[Amt] } ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY { ([Customer].[Customer].[Customer Key].ALLMEMBERS) }
HAVING [Measures].[ Days Outstanding] > 60
DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS
FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@Location, CONSTRAINED)) ON COLUMNS
FROM ( SELECT ( {[Date].[Fiscal Period].&[2014-06]}) ON COLUMNS
FROM [Model]))
Over here, the data is being filtered always for current month and for a location that is being selected by user from a report selection parameter.
I would like to get the count of total no. of customers and sum of the amount measure.
When I am using them in calculated members it gives incorrect values. It considers all records (ignores the sub-select statements) instead of only the records of current month and selected location.
I also tried with EXISTING keyword in calculated members but there is not difference in output. Finally, I manage the same at SSRS level.
Can anybody please advise what are the ways to get the required sum of [Measures].[Amt] and count of [Customer].[Customer].[Customer Key].ALLMEMBERS dimension?
Also, does it make any difference if I manage it as SSRS level and not at MDX query level?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Ankit,
We can use SUM function and COUNT function to sum of [Measures].[Amt] and count of [Customer].[Customer].[Customer Key].ALLMEMBERS dimension. Here is a sample query for you reference.
WITH MEMBER [measures].[SumValue] AS
SUM([Customer].[Customer].ALLMEMBERS,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])
MEMBER [measures].[CountValue] AS
COUNT([Customer].[Customer].ALLMEMBERS)
MEMBER [Measures].[DimensionName] AS [Customer].NAME
SELECT {[Measures].[DimensionName],[measures].[SumValue],[measures].[CountValue]} ON 0
FROM [Adventure Works]
Besides, you ask that does it make any difference if I manage it as SSRS level and not at MDX query level. I don't thinks it will make much difference. The total time to generate a reporting server report (RDL) can be divided into 3 elements:Time to retrieve
the data (TimeDataRetrieval);Time to process the report (TimeProcessing);Time to render the report (TimeRendering). If you manage it on MDX query level, then the TimeDataRetrieval might a little longer. If you manage it on report level, then the TimeProcessing
or TimeRendering time might a little longer. You can test it on you report with following query:
SELECT Itempath, TimeStart,TimeDataRetrieval + TimeProcessing + TimeRendering as [total time],
TimeDataRetrieval, TimeProcessing, TimeRendering, ByteCount, [RowCount],Source
FROM ExecutionLog3
WHERE itempath like '%reportname'

Insert SSAS Cube records measure and dimensions to relational table

Hi,
I need to retrieve one measure with a couple of its related dimensions from an ssas cube and have it stored in SQL table. How could this be done?
In order to read data from cube and insert into SQL relational table
this thread says to use openquery but states that it will only work if there are measures on the columns
and no dimensions on columns.
Is there a way to query a measure with a couple of its related dimensions
in MDX using openquery? Or any other way to query the cube to get these into SQL?
(Or should I better get the data from the base SQL tables which the cube is built from?)
Thanks for advising
Namnami

Hi Namnami,
Sure Darren Gosbell thread will help you, you can try below things.
You can get more info on
this link
Basically to write SQL+MDX combined we have to create link server from where we want data to combine with SQL. To create link server you need to have Admin access to the SQL Server.
IF IS_SRVROLEMEMBER ('sysadmin') = 1
print 'Current user''s login is a member of the sysadmin role'
ELSE IF IS_SRVROLEMEMBER ('sysadmin') = 0
print 'Current user''s login is NOT a member of the sysadmin role'
ELSE IF IS_SRVROLEMEMBER ('sysadmin') IS NULL
print 'ERROR: The server role specified is not valid.'
Above Query returns the whether you have admin admittance to the server or not to create Link Server.
More Details on Hybrid Query-
USE
AdventureWorksDW2008R2
GO
EXEC
sp_addlinkedserver
@server='Test',
@srvproduct='',
@provider='MSOLAP',
@datasrc='localhost',
@catalog='Adventure Works DW 2008R2'
Declare @MDXExpression as Varchar(MAX)
Select @MDXExpression =
SELECT
NON EMPTY
[Measures].[Sales Amount]
,[Measures].[Standard Product Cost]
,[Measures].[Tax Amount]
,[Measures].[Total Product Cost]
} ON 0,
NON EMPTY
[Sales Channel].[Sales Channel].[Sales Channel]
} ON 1
FROM
[Adventure Works]
Exec ('SELECT * INTO ##TestTemp FROM OpenQuery(TestTest1,''' + @MDXExpression + ''')')
SELECT
CONVERT(varchar,t."[Sales Channel].[Sales Channel].[Sales Channel].[MEMBER_CAPTION]") AS [Date],
(CONVERT(nvarchar,t."[Measures].[Sales Amount]")) AS [Sales Amount],
(CONVERT(nvarchar,t."[Measures].[Standard Product Cost]")) AS [Standard Product Cost],
(CONVERT(nvarchar,t."[Measures].[Tax Amount]")) AS [Tax Amount],
(CONVERT(nvarchar,t."[Measures].[Total Product Cost]")) AS [Total Product Cost]
from
##TestTemp t
--DRop Table ##TestTemp
Query Execution-
1-
So above query first creates liked server with named as 'Test'.
2-
After that MDX query executed on linked server where we have kept the MDX query in MDXExpression variable.
3-
Using OpenQuery function data gets dump in to ##TestTemp table.
4-
Finally we get the data from ##TestTemp table.

How to get the Multiplied value between measure and a dimension base on user selection using dynamically

Hi Experts,
We had developed a cube with the Measures and Dimensions.
I had a requirment as the measures should be muliplied by the currency value of different countries and get me the results.
For Example.
In SSRS report, the user will select "EUR" then the measures should multiply with the EUR based value for the particular month and get the result in the SSRS report. If the user select any other currency value, that should multiply with the measure
value and get the result in SSRS report.
How to do that in SSAS Cube.
Thanks
Shashi

Hi ,
If I understand your requirement correctly , then you need currency Conversion.
you can refer this links.

Thanks

Hi Deepak,
I had time dimension in the RPD.
I have stacked bar chart with same time dim like year & month in the report. when I go to legand and set navigation it is working fine. But not with pie chart.
I am not not sure what is the problem. When I click on Pie chart it is not navigating to the target report. Can it be any other issues..???

New calculated member based on existing measure and a dimension value

Hi
I’m trying to create a new calculated member in my cube based on an existing measure and a dimension value.
I can do it easily in DSW but I want to do it as a Calculated Member in Calculations tab from my cube.
I have a dimension called Product in which one attribute is UOM (unit of measure) and a measure called Quantity. The relationship with the fact table is “Regular”.
For each product we have a unit of measure and an associated quantity measure:
Product Name
UOM     Quantity
Product 1
          Km
         50
Product 2
          Kg
         60
Product 3
          Kw
          25
Product 4              L
15
Product 5              T
         1.5
Total                                     151.5
The calculated member I want to create is “Kw” and has to contain the value from Quantity measure when Product.UOM is “kW” and should look like this:
Product Name
UOM     Quantity
Kw
Product 1
          Km
         50
Product 2
          Kg
         60
Product 3
          Kw
          25
25
Product 4              L
             15
Product 5              T
         1.5
Total                                     151.5
25
So far I tried using the MDX with “IIF” or “Case” but with no results.
What statement I should use in this case?
Thank you.

Hi Cees,
Thank you for your answer.
I never used yet the “Scope” statement and yet it’s an elegant solution.
I use it as in your example:
CREATE
MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Kw]
AS NULL,
FORMAT_STRING =
VISIBLE = 1 ,
ASSOCIATED_MEASURE_GROUP =
'TR Other';
Scope [Measures].[Kw];
Scope [Product].[UOM].[kW];
This = [Measures].[Quantity];
End
Scope;
End
Scope;
…and the calculations are solid…with one exception: when I took out UOM from the query there are no more any resuts:
Product Name    Quantity    Kw
Total
It’s only working
if using UOM in the query.
I also thought that a
tulpe might be another solution as:
([Measures].[Quantity],[Product].[UOM].&[kW])
On this last one I’ve got the expected results with one exception: when I use UOM in the query all the other UOM values are listed each one of them
having the [Kw] measure calculation value.
Product Name    UOM     Quantity    Kw
Product 1              Km
         50
Product 2              Kg
         60
Product 3              Km
          25            25
Product 3              Kg
           25            25
Product 3              Kw
          25            25
Product 3              L
25            25
Product 3              T
25
  25
Product 4              L
            15
Product 5              T
         1.5
Total                                     151.5
25
…and without UOM in the query I have what I’m expected:
Product Name    Quantity
Kw
Product 1              50
Product 2              60
Product 3               25
25
Product 4
15
Product 5
1.5
Total                       151.5
25
Maybe we can work together to find a solution.
Thank you,

Resizing ScrollPane and Dimension dynamically

I am currently making a scrollbar program using ScrollPane and Dimension. I have to use those classes.
When I click "ok" button, that calls dc.enlarge(500,800) method. But it doesn't work.
When it is clicked, Dimension object should be changed and the panel has to show Horizotal
and Vertical scrollbar according to the width and height parameters.
Of course, the size will be calculated by the String contents object's rows and width. But it does not work.
How to resize the Dimension and How to display the Horizontal, Vertical scrollbar accoring to dc.enlarge's parameters?
Plz... help me...

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.
Reference:
Define Relationship Dialog Box (Analysis Services - Multidimensional Data)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How to resolve many fact tables and Dimensions tables

Hi,
The scenario is we have many facts and dimension tables. Based on some conditions one measure from one fact will be divided by another fact measure. I have encoutered with many errors like " Unable to navigate .... " ? How to resolve these errors and reduce many to few ? ( I assume creating logical tables, but is there any other alternatives ? )
thanks
Suresh

Suresh,
I assume that you know how to create a single logical fact from n-physical facts, ie only if the fact tables are related. Then join all the conformed dimensions to this single Logical table using a join in the Business Model layer. Remember to set the mappings in the LTS. All if you have any hierarchies please set the aggregation level for those.

Join multiple fact tables and dimensions and use all tables in report issue

Hi,
I have a report requirements and need to use multiple fact tables and unconformed dimensions as described below
Fact table: F1,F2,F3
Dimensions tables: D1.....D9
F1:(joined to) D1,D2,D3,D4
F2::(joined to)D1,D2,D5,D6
F3::(joined to)D1,D2,D7,D8
D7::(joined to)D9,D8 (dimension D7 joined to two other dimensions D9 and D8
I'm trying to use columns from almost all the fact and dimension tables but getting "Unable to navigate requested expression. Please fix the metadata consistency warnings."
Repository is consistent and no errors and warnings.
How can I configure the repository to develop reports using all fact tables and dimensions?
Appreciate for your help.
Thanks
Jay.

So you want me to convert snowflake schema to star. does it solve my problem? individual star queries are working find but when I query multiple stars together getting inconsistency errors. I removed content tables dim level totals for unconformed dimensions in logical fact LTS and set level for measures at total level for unconformed dimensions. it is still in progress and need to test.
Thanks

Reg: Fact table and Dimension table in Data Warehousing -

Hi Experts,
I'm not exactly getting the difference between the criteria which decide how to create a Fact table and Dimension table.
This link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9362854/database-fact-table-and-dimension-table states :
Fact table contains data that can be aggregate.
Measures are aggregated data expressions (e. Sum of costs, Count of calls, ...)
Dimension contains data that is use to generate groups and filters.
This's fine but how does one decide which columns to consider for Fact table and which columns for Dimension table?
Any help is much appreciated.
Pardon me if this's not the correct place for this question. My first question in the new forum.
Thanks and Regards,
Ranit Biswas

But my main doubt was - what is the criteria to differentiate between columns for Fact tables and Dimension tables? How can one decide upon the design?
Columns of a fact table will often be 'scalar' attributes of the 'fact' data item. A dimension table will often be 'compound' attributes of a 'fact'.
Consider employee information. The EMPLOYEE table can be a fact table. It might have scalar attribute columns such as: DATE_HIRED, STATUS, EMPLOYEE_ID, and so on.
Other related information that can't be specified as a single attribute value would often be stored in a 'dimension' table: ADDRESS, PHONE_NUMBER.
Each address requires several columns to define it: ADDRESS1, ADDRESS2, CITY, STATE, ZIP, COUNTRY. And an employee might have several addresses: WORK_ADDRESS, HOME_ADDRESS. That address info would be stored in a 'dimension' table and only the primary key value of the address record would be stored in the EMPLOYEE 'fact' table.
Same with PHONE_NUMBER. Several columns are required to define a phone number and each employee might have several of them. The dimension tables are used to help 'normalize' the data in the employee 'fact' table.
And that EMPLOYEE table might also be a DIMENSION table for other FACT tables. A DEVELOPER table might have an EMPLOYEE_ID column with a value that points to a 'dimension' row in the EMPLOYEE dimension table.

Deployment error when modifying measures and my heirarchy

I am working on Lesson 3 on analysis services tutorial where i am modifying measures and my heirarchy
and this is my error message.

Error 7 Server: The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed. 0 0
What can i do to fix this?

Hi Cook959,
In your scenario, it seems that the issue was related to the error message.
Errors in the OLAP storage engine: A duplicate attribute key has been found when processing: Table: 'dbo_DimDate', Column: 'CalendarQuarter', Value: '4'. The attribute is 'Calendar Quarter'. 0 0
There are many reasons that can cause this issue, here are some blogs which list the reasons and explanation, please refer to the links below to see the details.

Sizeof fact table and dimension table

Hi Experts ,
Can you tell me how to measure the size of dimension table and fact tables and how to find the ratio of size of dimension table to the size of fact table.
Thanks in advance,
Thanks and Regards
Ram Kommineni

Hi,
The ratio of size of fact table to dimension table is ideally should be 10:1. That means the size of the dimension tables should be 10% of the size of the fact table. This serves better in terms of performance.
Whenever you load any cube, you can easily find out the number of records in fact table (E and F table) and the dimension tables. Based on that statistics you can determine the ratio of size in fact and dimension tables.
Hope this info helps you.
Regards,
Yogesh.
