Essbase hierarchy - Default member type ALL

Hi All!!
When import a cube from essbase the biee automatically select the "Default member type ALL" check box; in the presentation server manual it is said that "The ALL member is identified during import."; where can I find which is this element?
Is it used to select from this hierarchy if I don't select the dimension in my answer criteria?
Is the ALL member to be defined in Essbase? if so where is it to define?
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Daniele

Hi,
Thanks for the great suggestion. I applied this, but once i did it complained about a duplicate attribute, so i added another key to make it unique but once you do that it shows all months and years in the selection - ideally i want it to just show
the current month in the selection (otherwise it is no different to selecting a month from a regular date hierarchy).
I will continue to work on this idea though because there could be a solution in there!
Thanks

SSAS Cube Hierarchy Default Member, not aggregatable in pivot table multi select, Urgent

Hi All,
I have one problem in my project ssas cube. one of the dimension hierarchy, a value has been set up as default member in calculation tab.
The problem is:
When i filter (select multiple) this defaulted value and other value in excel pivot, it is always showing default member value instead of selected members aggregated value. if i remove default member it is working fine. Can you please provide work around
for this.
Please note that, if select multiple values within that hierarchy (this time not selected default value), aggregation is working fine.
Thanks, Rajendra

Hi Hirmando,
According to your description, the default member cause incorrect data when dragging a attribute that contain a default member to the FILTERS area, right?
I can reproduce this issue on my environment, when dropping this dimension in the filter area of my pivot table and select multiple members including the default member then only data for the default member is shown. Currently, it's hard to say the root
reason that cause this issue. In order to narrow down this issue, please apply the latest server pack and cumulative update.
Besides, you can submit a feedback at

How to find out by MDX that the current users is member of a role - Default member issue

Hi,
just imagine you have a dimension with a few members (A, B, C...). I defined a role which gives some users only rights to "B". On the other hand the default member for the dimension is set to "A". Now users part of the role get an error
that the member "A" is not found. So while
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175626.aspx says the default member setting in the role "overrides" the overall default member this is not completely true because first the general default member is selected and after that the role
specific one.
So the solution might be that I explicitly define the default member in all roles. This might be possible but there is one issue: you can't define a role specific default member for users part of the adminstrator role. So all admins don't have a default
member which is quite some restriction for some users...
So the question is how to solve that problem. An idea would be that I use some MDX to determine the default member in the dimension based on the actual user's role membership. But how to do that? Or any better idea?
Thanks,
Thomas Pagel

Hi Thomas,
According to your description, you want to have a role-specific default member for different roles. Right?
In Analysis Services, when granting access to dimension, a connection will fail if a role restricts access to a default measure. As you mentioned, the best solution is specify a default member for each role. But for administrator role(full control),
it can't set the default member. All tabs except General and Membership are disabled. And the system can determines the default member of current user automatically. It's not supported to get the default member in MDX either.
However, SSAS has additive design for role security. So in this scenario, we just need to create another role for those members of administrator role and specify a default member for this role. SSAS will take that role-specific default member
for these users. And it will not effect the administration permission for them.

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

Setting default member of attribute hierarchy in MDX script. Default member not taken into account while using user defined hierarchy

Hi all
I have a date dimension that (type time) with attributes
- [FiscalYear] (type years)
- [FiscalMonth] (type months)
- [FiscalWeek] (type weeks)
In addition to the attributes used in the natural hierarchy, I have an attribute [PerType] containing one member comming from the relational table 'WTD' which corresponds to 'Current Date'. All other members of this attribute hierarchy are calculated members (defined in the MDX script). Examples:
--Last year
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Date].[PerType].[LY] AS NULL,
VISIBLE = 1;
SCOPE([Date].[PerType].[LY]);
SCOPE(DESCENDANTS([Date].[Fiscal].[All], [Date].[Fiscal].[Year], SELF_AND_AFTER));
THIS = ([Measures].CurrentMember, [Date].[PerType].[WTD], ParallelPeriod([Date].[Fiscal].[Year], 1));
END SCOPE;
END SCOPE;
--Month to date
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Date].[PerType].[MTD] AS NULL,
VISIBLE = 1;
SCOPE([Date].[PerType].[MTD]);
SCOPE(DESCENDANTS([Date].[Fiscal].[All], [Date].[Fiscal].[Week], SELF_AND_AFTER));
THIS = Aggregate(CrossJoin({[Date].[PerType].[WTD]}, MTD([Date].[Fiscal].CurrentMember)));
END SCOPE;
END SCOPE;
--Year to date
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Date].[PerType].[YTD] AS NULL,
VISIBLE = 1;
SCOPE([Date].[PerType].[YTD]);
SCOPE(DESCENDANTS([Date].[Fiscal].[All], [Date].[Fiscal].[Period], SELF_AND_AFTER));
THIS = Aggregate(CrossJoin({[Date].[PerType].[WTD]}, YTD([Date].[Fiscal].CurrentMember)));
END SCOPE;
END SCOPE;
The defalut member of FiscalWeek attribute hierarchy is set dynamically in the MDX script:
ALTER CUBE CURRENTCUBE UPDATE DIMENSION [Date].[FiscalWeek], DEFAULT_MEMBER =
Filter(
[Date].[FiscalWeek].Members,
[Date].[FiscalWeek].Properties( "FiscalWeekStartDate", TYPED) <= DateAdd("d", -2, CDate(CStr(Month(Now())) + "/" + CStr(Day(Now())) + "/" + CStr(Year(Now()))))
AND
[Date].[FiscalWeek].Properties( "FiscalWeekEndDate", TYPED) >= DateAdd("d", -2, CDate(CStr(Month(Now())) + "/" + CStr(Day(Now())) + "/" + CStr(Year(Now()))))
)(0).PrevMember;
If I run the following query:
with member
measures.x as [Date].[Fiscal].DefaultMember.Name
measures.y as [Date].[FiscalWeek].DefaultMember.Name
select
measures.x,
measures.y
} on axis(0)
from [GLWeekly]
it gives me back correctly the default member set over the MDX script.
I order the statements in the MDX Script so that the default period (week) is set at the beginning of the script (just after the calculate).
I do not understand why creating the following calculated member I am obliged to specify [Date].[Fiscal].CurrentMember in the tuple to have correct results:
MEMBER [Account].[CoA].[Standard Engagement Revenue (MTD)] AS ([Account].[CoA].[Standard Engagement Revenue], [Date].[PerType].[MTD], [Date].[Fiscal].CurrentMember)
I would expect that:
([Account].[CoA].[Standard Engagement Revenue], [Date].[PerType].[MTD])
is sufficient.
If the default week is specified in the slicer using a member of the natural hierachy (=> [Date].[Fiscal].x) it works.
Why can't SSAS use the default member if it is must defined in the MDX script?
Can someone explains me this. Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Ina,
have you thought about adding a dynamic statement inside the MDX script? You could define the default member like this:
... DEFAULT_MEMBER = iif( Day( Now() ) = 3, <expression for previous month>, <expression for current month> );
This way you don't need to change it everytime by running a script.
By the way, what do you mean it doesn't update the default member? When you execute this MDX what does it says?
with member measures.x as [Dimension].[HierarchyName].DefaultMember.Name
select { measures.x } on 0 from Cubename
If this returns the correct name, then the problem is somewhere else. I believe it should return you the correct name. Look here, test this on Adventure Works, statement by statement and see what happens.
ALTER
CUBE [Adventure Works]
UPDATE
DIMENSION [Product].[Product Categories],
DEFAULT_MEMBER = [Product].[Product Categories].[Category].&[1]
with
member measures.x
as [Product].[Product Categories].DefaultMember.Name
select measures.x on 0
from [Adventure Works]
ALTER
CUBE [Adventure Works]
UPDATE
DIMENSION [Product].[Product Categories],
DEFAULT_MEMBER = [Product].[Product Categories].[All Products]
with
member measures.x
as [Product].[Product Categories].DefaultMember.Name
select measures.x on 0
from [Adventure Works]
I think you can see which members are default (on related hierarchies) using
MDX Studio. This should help you detect which attributes have not moved accordingly and hence cause problems in your report. The usual suspects are those attributes used in your last month reports. If that's too much for you, just copy paste the definition
of the measure x and use .CurrentMember instead .DefaultMember. And so for all related hierarchies of your dimension. You can run it as one query, just put enough measures (x1, x2, ...), one for each hierarchy, ok?
Here's a test for Day():
with
member measures.y
as
iif( Day(Now()) = 28, 'Yes', 'No' )
select
measures.y on 0
from [Adventure Works]
Today this returns Yes, tomorrow it will be No.
Ups, I just checked one more thing. When you run the script, it sets the default member only for that session. If you execute the first two of the four statements that I've sent you, it will set the default member on Bikes and show you that.
But, if you open another query windows and execute that select statement (only), you'll see All member instead. So, it has set it to Bikes only for the currect session. Consequence? You reports are not aware of it. So, better use dynamic statement in
your MDX script.

It should be possible to set default behavior for all file types

It should be possible to set a default action for all file types. I'm so tired of having to manually sit and say "save this file" because Firefail always defaults to "open with" and has disabled the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on."
And spare me the zealotry religious excuses for why its the fault of websites and not Firefail
''edited to remove swearing''

I do want users to have full control to be able to set any folder view they want by using Apply to Folders; I just want to set the initial/default view to Detail because that matches what the majority of my users want.
That is, what registry setting changes when I go to a picture folder, change the view to Detail, and click Apply to Folders? Having done that, I still retain the ability to change it to some other view and apply that to folders. But what registry setting
represents the change I just made when applying Detail view to all Picture folders.?
This settings is simple via GUI, but it is related a lot of registry keys, I made a test in my machine, capture the "Apply to Folders" process using Regshot tool (this is a small tool which can compare the regsitry changes after you change some
settings), and this is the result:
this is part of the registry changes, a plenty of registry keys and values need to be changed. hard to list them here. if you have interests, I recommend the tool Regshot, it can help you capture the regsitry changes.

I want to change the default file type in the Open File dialog - e.g. from Word to All Files

I want to change the default file type in the Open File dialog - most recently specifically in Adobe Acrobat, from Adobe Files to All Files, so I don't have to do it again and again manually. Is this possible? Is it an OS setting or an app-specific setting?

The Apps set the default to the file type it can open, sort of. However, there normally isn't a type specified. All document types that the app can handle will be offered.
Adobe, and Microsoft, tend to roll their own dialogs, so they may not be standard. I don't have Acrobat, so I can't verify that. If Adobe is puting a file type selector in their open file dialogs, it would be up to them to store the preferences.
EDIT: I checked Reader, and i see what you mean. Not terribly useful.

Default member when filtering on a dimension in excel

Hi,
Many of my users have asked for a way of selecting "Month to date" that can remain in place without having to physically change the month in a date hierarchy. I came up with a way of doing it by creating a pseudocolumn "Current Month"
which shows a "Y" if it matches today's month and an N for all other rows. This has worked effectively, however now i am being asked if it could show "Month YYYY" as opposed to the "Y".
My issue with this is having a default member auto selected in a filtered dimension. I am not sure if this is possible.
I have tried setting a current month dimension member to non aggregateable and then forcing a default member, but that is global without even selecting anything.
Can anybody think of any other way of making the field automatically select when filtered? (Obviously this is necessary because if it says March, and then when it turns into April the data changes and the selection cancels).
Hoping somebody has an idea!
thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the great suggestion. I applied this, but once i did it complained about a duplicate attribute, so i added another key to make it unique but once you do that it shows all months and years in the selection - ideally i want it to just show

How do you set/change the default alarm TYPE in iCal?

I like to think I'm a power user, but this one I just can't figure out. The question/problem is: How do you sent the default alarm TYPE in iCal? The problem is illustrated in the picture below in the blue circled area.
Specifically, whenever I set a new event in iCal, it defaults to this window with the default alert being "Default (1 hour before)." The one hour before is fine, but the problem is, WHAT is the default? It seems to be just a sound, but that's not good enough to actually alert me of anything.
The goal I'm trying to achieve with this post is to determine how to CHANGE the "default" new event alert FROM "Default (1 hour before)" TO one of two alerts that I actually find useful: I want MY "default" new event alert to be either "email" to the primary address, OR, "Message with Sound".
Any ideas, folks? Thanks.

Understand. I am in the edit mode for my contact. I see all the contact info. There is no right click or other means to change the DEFAULT address that autofill uses (it also is first to appear if I type my name in an e-mail). For instance for a group e-mail you can change the default addresses of each contact by control-clicking on the group in Address Book. I can't seem to make the default change in my v-card.

How can I change the default "file type" in the open file dialog when using Firefox on certain web pages?

I work for a bankruptcy attorney. We use the Court's file upload to file our documents. When I am on the Court's site and I have to pick a file to upload, the "open file" dialog box pops up. In Firefox, the default "file type" is always "image" files. I need it to be "all files". How can I change this setting?

Two observations.
First — "Tools-> ...." is specific to Acrobat X and XI. It did not exist prior to Acrobat X.
Second — Acrobat 9 Pro / Standard (nor earlier release) does not support viewing a PDF page containing a scanned image and performing a right-click ... Save Image As.
The context menu provided by Acrobat 9 Pro with a right-click on a scanned image is:
The context menu,from a right-click with the TouchUp Object tool selected, for Acrobat 9 Pro is:

CS4 Set default file type when placing file

The File->Place dialog box has a default file type of 'Importable files.' Is it possible to set the default to All files (or anything else)? Making the change manually does not seem to stick. I have the same general question regarding File->Open. A search of the forums returned one hit (unanswered) in the Dreamweaver forum.
Thank you.
Dick Conrad

Peter:
Good question. One of our editors made this request, and I believe that he works with files that lack extensions. But controlling the default would also let us go in the other direction: quickly see only .rtf or .txt files, for example.
Any trick would be impractical if it lived in InDesign Defaults. All ID users get the same copy, and no two editors would want the same filter.
Thanks for your response.

Creating a query that provides a default transaction type for those transactions not categorized?

How could I create a query that provides a default transaction type for those transactions not categorized?
So assuming I have:
* Transactions table (with transactions)
* Categories table
* transactions_categories table - allows to allocate multiple categories (with a percentage)
- tranactionID
- categoryID
- percentageAllocation
* Usage is such that only non-personal categories have been applied through out data. So there is a lot of transactions with no categories applied
Aim:
* Want to create a query that creates a list of all the allocated amounts, so would include as columns: transaction.tDate, transaction.tTitle, categories.name, allocatedAmount(calculated from percentage * transaction amount)
BUT:
* How could I include in the query, the entries that cover all transaction that haven't been allocated, to a default category "personal", where the allocated Amount would be 100% of the transaction value
* And also (if it were possible), for transactions that have been categorized but not for the complete transaction value (say only 50% was allocated to a category), how to to cover this off to.

To default the value of the category:
select IIf(IsNull(Category),"Personal",Category) as Category,IIf(IsNull(Category),"100%",PercentageAllocation
) as PercentageAllocation from [yourtable]
What do you want to put the values of these ones:
And also (if it were possible), for transactions that have been categorized but not for the complete transaction
value (say only 50% was allocated to a category), how to to cover this off to.

[FR] How to set default member in User POV Preview

Hi!
Does anyone know how to set the default member in User POV Preview for first time users?
Example:
For dimension Entity, the default member that appear in first login of user is the Top Level member "Dim_Entity", regardless of security. It happens with all first time users.
We already try to change the User POV in Preferences, but this only limit the choices of user and didn't set the default member.
We are using version 11.1.1.3.
Thanks,
Luís

Check the following PDF for Manage User POV utility.There is an option to import POV for the users.
