Ecsape character in MDX query

Hi,
I have a UDA defined for one of the dimension which contains a single quote in the value. UDA is "Account Type: Owner's equity". Can some one help me what is the escape character for single quote ?
Using a single quote as escape character is not working. (i.e Owner''s Equity)
MDX quer:
IIF (IsUDA([Account].CurrentMember, "Account Type: Owner'' Equity"), [Scenario].Actual * -1 , [Scenario].Actual)
Thanks,
Anil.

Hi John,
I am using IsUDA in WITH Member clause as below
With Member [Scenario].[FinalBalance] AS 'IIF (IsUDA([Account].CurrentMember, "Account Type: Owner''sEquity") , [Scenario].Actual * -1, [Scenario].Actual )'
Select {([109-3100].Children)} on 0,
{[Scenario].[FinalBalance]} on 1
from VF_US10000001640601154604App.db
where ([Amount Type].[PTD],[Currency Type].[Total],[Ledger].[All Ledgers].[Vision Foods - USA Ledger],[Balance Amount].[Period Activity],[Currency].[USD])
As I need to enclose the With Member clause with single quotes ('IIF...'), it is causing a conflict with single quote in UDA Value.
Thanks,
Anil.

Date parameters using MDX query

Hello experts,
Not sure if this question falls under SSAS or SSRS but I'm writing it here for now and hopefully get the answer.
I'm using SSAS cube to develop a report using SSRS and this is the first time I'm doing it. I want to filter records based on date range and did some research online. My report contains two datasets:
1. dsMain dataset -> it contains all the field which I want to use in the report and added a parameter thru query designed with following settings:
Dimension : Dates
Hierachary : Date
Operator : Range (Inclusive)
Parameters : checked
it created two parameters called FromDatesDate and toDatesDate
2. I created another dataset called dsDate and wrote a custom query (found at following link) and changed FromDatesDate and ToDatesDate using this date dataset
https://jsimonbi.wordpress.com/2011/03/22/using-a-date-parameter-in-ssrs-with-mdx/
Query for dsDate
WITH
MEMBER DateValue
AS
[Dates].[Date].CurrentMember.UniqueName
MEMBER DateLabel
AS
[Dates].[Date].CurrentMember.Name
SELECT
[Measures].[DateValue],
[Measures].[DateLabel]
} ON 0,
[Dates].[Date].[Date]
} ON 1
FROM [myCube]
Here is the value returned by dsDate dataset (above query)
DateValue DateLabel
06/04/1980 [Dates].[Date].&[29375]
06/04/1980
06/05/1980 [Dates].[Date].&[29376]

06/12/1980
06/13/1980 [Dates].[Date].&[29384]
06/13/1980
Here is what I changed in FromDatesDate and ToDatesDate parmeter:
Under Available Values tab:
Dataset : dsDate
Value Field : DateValue
Label Field : DateLabel
Here are my questions:
1. I want to use date/time parameter so that user doesn't have to scroll thru whole date dimension.
2. I changed the FromDatesDate and ToDatesDate to date/time parameter, removed the values from Available values tab and made the following changes on Parmaeters expression under dsMain dataset
=”[Dates].[Date].&[” + Format(CDate(Parameters!FromDatesDate.Value),”MM/dd/yyyy”)
+ “T00:00:00]”
=”[Dates].[Date].&[” + Format(CDate(Parameters!ToDatesDate.Value),”MM/dd/yyyy”)
+ “T00:00:00]”
Now when I run the report I get following error:
Query (1, 55) The restrictions imposed by the CONSTRAINED flag in the STRTOMEMBER function are violated.
I think the reason is by changing parameter to date/time, now I cannot get "DateValue" which is required for the query.
1. What is the best way to work with date parameters?
Hope it is all clear and look forward to hear from experts.
Thanks,
P

Hi Parry2k,
In Analysis Services, a member can be referenced by either its member name or by its member key. The member key is used by the dimension to specifically identify a given member. The ampersand (&) character is used in MDX to differentiate
a member key from a member name. In this scenario, the datetime is member name, not the member key. So you should not add "&".

Filters not getting passed in MDX query while using SAP BW with OBIEE

Hello,
I've been working on OBIEE with SAP BW as back-end. I've created some reports & those are working fine when there is less amount of data. But when I try to run a report with 3 dimensions & 1 fact it throws an error saying "No more storage space available for extending an internal table". When I checked MDX query, I found that the filters that I had applied to request & also selected from prompts are not getting passed in that query. So, I tried running a simple request using a simple filter in Answers. Although this request returns results but I can't see filter conditions in query. MDX query always show crossjoin but I can't see filter conditions anywhere.
Is it the normal OBIEE behaviour OR am I doing something wrong in there? Can you please help me out with this?
Thanks,
Rocky

Hello Sainath,
We tried those things. But it is still giving same error.
State: HY00. Code: 10058. [NQODBC][SQL_STATE:HY000][nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. XML/A error returned from the server: Fault code: "XMLAnalysisError.0X80000005". Fault string: "The XML for Analysis provider encountered an error: MDX result contains too many cells (more than 1 million)". (HY000)
The problem here, I think, is the filter parameters are not getting passed in the MDX query. Any idea why would that happen? Is there any setting to do so?
Thanks in advance for help.

Need help in MDX query

Hi All
I am new to MDX language and need a MDX functions/query on the cube to get the required output, Given below is the scenario with the data.
I am maintaining the data in a table in dataMart with given structure. We have the data at day and weekly in a single table with granularity indicator and count is the measure group column. While loading the data in to mart table we are populaiting the week
Key from week table and Month key from month table and joining in the cube.
we need to calculate the inventory for a particular month. If a user selects a particular month the output would be count = 30 as a measure called Closed and count = 16 as a measure value called Open.
Need a MDX query to get output.

Hi Venkatesh,
According to your description, you need to count the members with conditions in a particular month, right?
In MDX, we can achieve the requirement by using Count and Filter function, I have tested it on AdventureWorks cube, the sample query below is for you reference.
with member [ConditionalCount]
as
count(filter([Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2008]&[2].children,[Measures].[Internet Order Count]>50))
select {[Measures].[Internet Order Count],[ConditionalCount]} on 0,
[Date].[Calendar].[Date].members on 1
from
(select [Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2008]&[2] on 0 from
[Adventure Works]
Reference

If this is not what you want, please elaborate your requirement, such as the detail structure of your cube, so that we can make further analysis.

SSRS report with tabular model – MDX query CoalesceEmpty function does not return the provided string value

Hello everyone,
I created following calculated member in MDX query. I am using it in one of the report parameter in dataset (single select dropdown list as report parameter).
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS
CoalesceEmpty([Customer].[National Account Code].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION,'None')
I would like to display 'None' text at the top of the dropdown list values. So that when user selects 'None' then this parameter will not considered in MDX query else the selected National Account Code will be considered to filter report data. But,
the above return blank/empty value for [Customer].[National Account Code].& member though I specified 'None' as text in CoalesceEmpty function. Any advice would be appreciated.

SSRS report with cube – MDX query how to get an extra row with value '0'.

Hello everyone,
I'm unable to write the MDX query to get '0' value as first row in output. Following is my MDX query:
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Dummy] AS   '0'
SELECT NON EMPTY Union( {[Measures].[Amount] },{[Measures].[Dummy]}) ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY { ([Customer].[Customer Nbr].[Customer Nbr].ALLMEMBERS * [Fiscal].[Year].[Year].ALLMEMBERS ) }
having [Measures].[Amount] > 5000
ON ROWS FROM [cube]
With above query, the output returns the value '0' as a separate column.
I would like to get it in form of first row for [Measures].[Amount]. Like,
Amount
0
500
200
100
What needs to be changed to achieve the above result? I'm planning to use the above value in line chart to start the line from 0th value as described in following URL. (Note: The below URL is using SQL query and not MDX expressions.)

The round brackets in your expression are forcing an implicit crossjoin between the 3 lines. I would do the following which creates a set of the DummyYear plus the real year members and then crossjoin that with the customer set.
WITH MEMBER [Fiscal].[Year].DummyYear AS   '0'
SELECT NON EMPTY {[Measures].[Amount]} ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY {[Fiscal].[Year].DummyYear,
     [Fiscal].[Year].[Year].MEMBERS} *
            [Customer].[Customer Nbr].[Customer Nbr].MEMBERS
having [Measures].[Amount] > 5000
ON ROWS FROM [cube]

How to get the child data in MDX query?

I got it to work by adding the child_id's "decison' to the fact table as it is alot easier to get that data using Sql Script while creating the fact table and also there is already a "decsion" dimension setup. In the cube I can select the
parent_id's decision and/or child_id's decision. It is working on the report. Thanks.

Bw publish and connections not based on the sap bw mdx query driver

Dear experts,
we are currently facing a problem with transporting reports that are based on multiple database connections and joined using the cross database join feature of crystal reports. One connection is based on the SAP BW MDX driver, the other is based on a SAP functionmodule.
Now when transporting the reports with STMS and publishing them via /crystal/rptadmin and bwpublish only the bex mdx query connection gets updated. The other connection is still pointing to the original location.
e.g.
transporting
DEV -> PROD
function module still pointing on dev server.
As we need to use the sap default transport system in order to get all features (no SP4 yet) and we can not change the reports manually in the PROD system before publishnig and don't want to mix in the LCM we have no idea how get a work around for this problem.
Changing the database connection via CMC on the PROD system has no effect either.
Please help.
Thank you very much!
Thorsten

Hello Thorsten,
What you observe is "By Design" of the product. The dynamic update is supported only for reports using the BW MDX driver (or historically for those using the deprecated BW query driver). Other SAP drivers such as the OpenSQL driver which you use to connect to the function module do not leverage the same features when using the SAP Transport process.
You may report directly against your target system when connecting to Function Modules.
thanks,
Akin

Hi Prajapati,
In your scenario, you can use Properties and Datediff function to achieve your requirement. Since not know the structure of your cube, we cannot give you the esact query.
I have tested it on the AdventureWorks cube, the query below is for you reference.
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[StartDate]
AS
[Employee].[Employee Department].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES('Start Date')
MEMBER [Measures].[WorkYear]
AS
DATEDIFF('yyyy',[Measures].[StartDate],NOW())
MEMBER [Measures].[Status]
AS
IIF(DATEDIFF('yyyy',[Measures].[StartDate],NOW())>10,1,0)
SELECT {[Measures].[StartDate],[Measures].[WorkYear],[Measures].[Status]} ON 0,
[Employee].[Employee Department].[Employee].MEMBERS ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works]

When using TODATE function MDX query is not correctly generated

Essbase 9.3.1.2 and OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1.
When using TODATE function MDX query is not correctly generated.
This leads to unexpected values not only on cumulative columns in report (generated with TODATE), but also other columns (calculated with AGO function or directly read from cube) have incorrect values.
The problem occurs when you filter on a column that is not in the select list. If you filter on just one level of dimension, results are fine. You can filter on multiple dimensions as long as you filter on just one level of each dimension.
If you filter on two or more levels of one dimension, than results are not correct. In some cases results for TODATE column are all zeros, in some cases it is a random value returned by Essbase (same random value for all rows of that column), and in some cases BI Server returns an error:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. Essbase Error: Network error [10054]: Cannot Send Data (HY000).
Here is generated MDX code:
With
set [Grupe proizvoda2] as '{[Grupe proizvoda].[N4]}'
set [Grupe proizvoda4] as 'Generate([Grupe proizvoda2], Descendants([Grupe proizvoda].currentmember, [Grupe proizvoda].Generations(4), leaves))'
set [Segmentacija2] as '{[Segmentacija].[RETAIL]}'
set [Segmentacija4] as 'Filter(Generate({[Segmentacija2]}, Descendants([Segmentacija].currentmember, [Segmentacija].Generations(4),SELF), ALL), ([Segmentacija].CurrentMember IS [Segmentacija].[AFFLUENT]))'
set [Vrijeme3] as '{[Vrijeme].[MJESEC_4_2009]}'
member [Segmentacija].[SegmentacijaCustomGroup]as 'Sum([Segmentacija4])', SOLVE_ORDER = AGGREGATION_SOLVEORDER
member [Accounts].[MS1] as '(ParallelPeriod([Vrijeme].[Gen3,Vrijeme],2,[Vrijeme].currentmember), [Accounts].[Trosak kapitala])'
member [Accounts].[MS2] as '(ParallelPeriod([Vrijeme].[Gen3,Vrijeme],1,[Vrijeme].currentmember), [Accounts].[Trosak kapitala])'
member [Accounts].[MS3] as 'AGGREGATE({PeriodsToDate([Vrijeme].[Gen2,Vrijeme],[Vrijeme].currentmember)}, [Accounts].[Trosak kapitala])'
select
{ [Accounts].[Trosak kapitala],
[Accounts].[MS1],
[Accounts].[MS2],
[Accounts].[MS3]
} on columns,
NON EMPTY {crossjoin ({[Grupe proizvoda4]},{[Vrijeme3]})} properties ANCESTOR_NAMES, GEN_NUMBER on rows
from [NISE.NISE]
where ([Segmentacija].[SegmentacijaCustomGroup])
If you remove part with TODATE function, the results are fine. If you leave TODATE function, OBIEE returns an error mentioned above. If you manually modify variable SOLVE_ORDER and set value to, for example, 100 instead of AGGREGATION_SOLVEORDER, results are OK.
In all cases when this variable was modified in generated MDX, and query manually executed on Essabse, results were OK. This variable seems to be the possible problem.

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'

SSAS Tabular : MDX query goes OutOfMemory for a larger dataset

Hello all,
I am using SSAS 2012 Tabular to build the cube to support the organizational reporting requirements. Right now the server is Windows 2008 x64 with 16GB of Ram installed. I have the following MDX query. What this query does is get the member caption of the
“OrderGroupNumber” non-key attribute as a measure where order group numbers pertain to a specific day and which occurs in specific seconds of a day. As I want to find in which second I have order group numbers, I cross the time dimension’s members with a specific
day and filter the tuples using the transaction count. The transaction count is a non-zero value if an Order Group Number occurs within a specific second of a selected day.
At present “TransactionsInflight].[OrderGroupNumber].[OrderGroupNumber]” has 170+ million members (Potentially this could grow rapidly) and time dimension has 86400 members.
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[OrderGroupNumber]
AS IIF([Measures].[Transaction Count] > 0, [TransactionsInflight].[OrderGroupNumber].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION,
NULL)
SELECT
NON EMPTY{[TransactionsInflight].[OrderGroupNumber].[OrderGroupNumber].MEMBERS}
ON COLUMNS,
{FILTER(([Date].[Calendar Hierarchy].[Date].&[2012-07-05T00:00:00], [Time].[Time].[Time].MEMBERS),
[Measures].[Transaction Count] > 0) } ON
ROWS
FROM [OrgDataCube]
WHERE [Measures].[OrderGroupNumber]
After I run this query it reaches to a dead-end and freezes the server (Sometimes SSAS server throws OutOfMemory exception but sometimes it does not). Even though I have 16GB of memory it uses all the memory and doing nothing. I have to do a hard-reset against
the server to get the server online. Even I limit the time members using the “:” range operator still the machine freeze. I have run out of solutions to fine-tune the design. Could you guys provide me some guidelines to optimize this query? I am willing to
do a design change if it is necessary.
Thanks and best regards,

Hi Greg,
Finally I found the problem why the query goes out of memory in tabular mode. I guess this information will helpful for others and I am posting my findings.
Some of the non-key attribute columns in the tabular model tables (mainly the tables which form dimensions) do not contain pretty names. So for the non-key attribute columns which I need to provide pretty names I renamed the columns to something else.
For an example, in my date dimension there is a non-key attribute named “DateAltKey”. This is the date column which I am using. As this is not pretty to the client tools I renamed this column as “Date” inside the designer (Dimension
design screen). I deployed the cube, processed the cube and no problem.
Now here comes the fun part. For every table, inside the Tables node (Tabular SSAS Database > Tables) you can view the partition details. You have single partition per dimension table if you do not create extra partitions. I opened the partitions screen
and clicked on the “Edit” icon and performed a Syntax Check. Surprisingly it failed. It complains about the renamed column. It complained “Date” cannot be found in source. So I realized that I cannot simply rename the columns like that.
After that I created calculated columns (with a pretty name) for all the columns which complained and all the source columns to the calculated columns were hid from the client tools. I deployed the cube, processed the cube and performed a
syntax check. No errors and everything were perfect.
I ran the query which gave me trouble and guess what... it executed within 5 seconds. My problem is solved. I really do not know who did this improve the performance but the trick worked for me.
Thanks a lot for your support.

How can ew add filter in Dataset of MDX Query

Hi,
I am working on TFS 2010 Report with Report Builder 3.0
I need to fetch data on basis of Start Task Date(means when user start their task).
So i have added a new field in a TFS Work Item Template with name StartTaskDate.
Now i need to fetch the report FromTaskDate to TOTaskDate(Date Range Filter).
so how can we do this with filter option?
Can any body help me on this.
Thanks

Hi rohitnegi09,
If you want @FromTaskDate and @TOTaskDate parameters are Date/Time data types, please refer to my last reply in the following thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/db75abb9-2250-463a-8ef3-70426f617329/mdx-report-on-date-range?forum=sqlreportingservices
If you want @FromTaskDate and @TOTaskDate parameters are Text data types, we can directly type the following MDX query in the dataset:
select
{[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
} on columns,
{[Date].[Date].members} on rows
from(
select
STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Date].&["+@FromTaskDate+"]"):STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Date].&["+@ToTaskDate+"]")
) on columns
from [Adventure Works]
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
