Excel 2010 - Calculated Members on Dimension

Hi
Was wondering if there was any workaround in Excel 2010 to make these appear. My understanding is that the behaviour is unchanged from 2007.
Does anyone know of any plans to support calculated members on dimensions in Excel?
Cheers

I added the following to Adventure Works and it displays in Excel 2010 if I make sure to tick the option to display calculated members from the OLAP server.
CREATE
MEMBER
CURRENTCUBE.[Date].[Calendar].[All Periods].test
AS 123,
VISIBLE = 1 ;
The other approach is to add a physical member to your dimension and then use a SCOPE to set the value based on an expression. This way you don't need to set the option to display calculated members.

Calculated members In Excel 2013 - subtotals and grand totals missing

I am using Excel 2013 to query an SSAS OLAP cube. I have selected 2 dimensions in the row area, and I need to consolidate specific combinations of members values of each dimension. To do this I have created calculated members which combine sets of members
of each dimension, as in the code example below.
These members produce the desired results except that I do not have any subtotals on a 3rd dimension in the row area (Internal segment name, cf. image below), nor grand totals in the pivot table.
I am fairly new that MDX and would appreciate any advice on how to correct the code below.
Code for the member [Manufacturing Item].[Item Type].[All].[Cards Contact]
AGGREGATE(
CROSSJOIN(
{[Manufacturing Item].[Item Type].&[CARD BODY OTHER],
[Manufacturing Item].[Item Type].&[CARD BODY],
[Manufacturing Item].[Item Type].&[SMART CARD]},
[Techno cards contact]

In my previous post, the solution happened to work because the combination of the calculated members was equal to the whole dimension. But I found a cleaner method: subtotals need to be calculated for the combination of all the calculated members, so the
logic is to create a set that contains all of them. Then aggregate the measure for this set only for subtotals. To do this, I have created the following calculated measure:
IIF(
ISLEAF([Manufacturing Item].[Item Type].CurrentMember),
[Measures].[Manufacturing Volume],
SUM({[CalcMembers]},[Measures].[Manufacturing Volume])

SSAS tabular mode Perspective display in Excel 2010

Hello All,
I have SSAS tabular modal cube. I created one perspective based on user requirement. I am using Excel 2010 to open the perspective. When I check the Pivot Tbale Field List (window at the right), I can see all my tables, columns and mesaures that I selected
for my perspective by scrolling in hte Field List. However when I click the drop down which says (Show fields related to:) I can see only 3 to 4 Dimension tables and some of the measures that I selected. I don't see all the tables in that perspective. When
I open the perspective which contains the entire cube, I can see all tables, columns and measures in the drop down list, however with perspective it only shows certain table.
Does anyone why this behaviour in Excel. I tried opening in Excel 2013 but got same result.
Any help in solving this matter would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
In tabular projects there is no property like "NameColumn" to change the display labels. What I would suggest is to create a calculated column in tabular project by using CONCATENATE() function available in DAX. As an example;
Account Names:= CONCATENATE([Account Name] + " - ", [Account ID])
Following is the link to CONCATENATE DAX function.

BUG in Excel 2010 SUMIF & SUMIFS functions [EDIT: also AVERAGEIF & -IFS]

I am quite certain that there is a bug in the implementation of the SUMIF function of Excel 2010. In certain special cases the function returns
its evaluation argument instead of the correct result. This bug is reproducible in Excel 2010, but does not occur in Excel 2007 (or earlier, as far as I can tell).
The SUMIF function accepts the arguments "Range", which is the range of identifiers which the function evaluates against; "Criteria", which is
the criteria that defines which members of "Range" will be chosen to sum, and "Sum_range", which is the (optional) range of values to sum. "Range" and "Sum_range" do not need to reside on the same worksheet in order for the function to return correct results.
This means that "Range" and "Sum_range" can refer to the same column of different worksheets, and this is where the bug occurs. As an example,
say we have the formula =SUMIF(Sheet1!E:E;2;Sheet2!E:E). This will return 2 (i.e. the "Criteria" argument), regardless of which values are in column E of Sheet2. If we move the data in Sheet2 to column D or F, however, the same formula (e.g. =SUMIF(Sheet1!E:E;2;Sheet2!F:F)
will return the correct result.
I have just noticed that the same error occurs with the SUMIFS function.
Bug resolution please? :)

Hi!
An alternative methd don't solve my problem. Although I state that the 32bit version of Excel 2010 is now corrected of this bug. I wonder why the 64bit version is not.... I have to work with large Excel files and with this king of bugs I can't get
the most of 64bit Excel.
I'm surprised that no alternative methods of calculation will work in Excel 2010 64-bit and be compatible with other versions.
So what other functions do not work?
I guess SUMPRODUCT also doesn't work when referring to a range in another workbook. That is one of the ways we used to get the same results as AVERAGEIF before that function became available in 2007. There are also array formulas that can refer to
other worksheets.
Or is your problem solely related to not being able to use particular functions in Excel 2010 64-bit, and not to solving your calculation problem?
Ron
I've upgraded the Office version from 2007 to 2010 64bit and I want to use my earlier Excel files to calculate and update data that I need to use in another software.
I noticed that the averageif and sumif formulas don't update their values if they refer to other worksheets or workfiles and after a web search I get to this forum.
I inferred that these bugs were corrected for all versions of Excel 2010… that’s not the case!
My workfiles are huge and I have to do calculations between workfiles and worksheets, update existing links, and so on… Excel 2010 64bit perform very well in
my machine in terms of speed! But not with these bugs!!!
Since I have not the time to redo all my previous work (done in Excel 2007) you can say that my problem solely relates to not being able to use particular functions
in Excel 2010 64-bit!!! I have deadlines!!!
I suppose that Microsoft would gladly thank its customers to report bugs of its products and would try to solve them! I guess wrong!!! Sorry for that!

Script Logic - Calculated Members

Hello:
Im trying to build a script member using calculated members:
*WHEN CUENTA
*IS U4000
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
U4000 is a calculated member in the account dimension member. I tried using another account, that is not a calculated member and it works.
How can use calculated member in this sintax?
Thanks in advance.
Luciana

I would like to mention few things:
1. OLAPLOOKUP it doesn't work anymore into 7.5. James can you double check. My tests is showing that OLAPLOOKUP is not even validate into 7.5
2. Calc_Dummy_Org it is an option to get the values of calculate members
3. It is strange that kind of condition because into script logic you are doing input for base members.
So that condition to test when an account is a an account which is not base member for me doesn't seems to be right.
I can understand if you are looking about the value of that account but not testing if an account it is an account which is not base member.
So if you want to record something with value of your calculate member just use:
*BEGIN
ACCOUNT.#basememberforinput = ACCOUNT.Calculatemember
*END
*COMMIT

Error (IES 10901) (WIS 10901) when using Excel 2010 file as data source..

Hello,
I have a annoying issue with using an excel 2010 file as a data source for a universe. Here is the background information.
Setup.
Client: Laptop running Win XP 32bit, Client tools installed with SP2 v9 (latest)
Server: Win 2008 x64, BOE 4.0 SP2 v9 (latest)
Task:
1. On Client, with information design tool, created Project, DB Connection, Data foundation using an excel source on a share
server\share\data.xlsx
2.. Published everything to Repository
3. Try to load univerise in Web Intelligence via creating a new report. I Drag accross the dimensions. When i go to preview data recieve error
Database error: [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] External table is not in the expected format.. (IES 10901) (WIS 10901)
4. If i change the excel file to a 2003 format *.xls it all works correctly. Issue being that 2003 cannot hold as much data as a 2010 file so i need to use 2010.
Extra Notes:
1. Both the client and server have the latest Access drivers http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13255
2. Both client and server have a system DSN setup using the 32bit ODBC, same DSN names to the network share.
3. The data excel source sits on the server on a share.
4. I am believing that the isssue is within the area of BOE as when you connect to the excel file via ODBC using crystal 2011, you need to right click on the connection and tick "System Tables" to be able to use the excel 2010 file. The BOE Information design tool does not seem to have this option??
Any advice with this would be great?
thanks
david

Issue Resolved:

Switch Linked (xl source) Tables - behavior change Excel 2010 PP vs. Excel 2013 PP -- In 2013 all calcs of table are lost

Situation:
PowerPivot 2010 Model based on 10 linked tables (this tables are generated and refreshed as needed by SQL 2012 MDS Excel-AddIn)
Unfortunately Excel MDS AddIn changes sometimes the tablename (case: MDS Add-In Filter changed, MDS Server changed). So after Change of tablename we have to fix the powerpivot link to this Excel tables in powerpivot to get powerpivot refresh working again
Problem:
With Excel 2010 PowerPivot this was possible without big Problems. As Long as table has identical structure one can Change/Switch the table in powerpivot Windows > Ribbon "Linked" Table > DropDown "Linked Table X" or during update
via Dialog "Errors in Linked Table"
After upgrading the solution to Excel 2013 this is not possible any more without loosing any column- or measure calcs defined for this table! :( Every time you Change the assigned Excel table for an existing linked powerpivot table..you
get following Dialog:
"You are changing the source of X to Excel table Y. Changing the source will remove all formatting, measures, KPIs, hierarchies, and other Settings applied to the table. Are you sure you want to to continute?"
Does anyone found a Workaround for persisting existing calc of linked tables when changing the sourcetable (to another Excel table with same structure)??
Dear MS, this is IMHO really a step backwards and blocks the migration of our existing Excel 2010 PowerPivot Solution? Should i create a connect entry for that?!
Version-Info:
2010 Version: 11.0.3000.0 (PP Ribbon>Settings)
2013 Version: 11.0.2809.81 (Product version displayed for dll c:\program files\Microsoft Office\Office15\Addins\PowerPivot excel Add-In\PowerPivotExcelClientAddIn.dll)

There is a very similar issue discussed here where i tried to show the different behavior in terms of linked tables in Excel/PowerPivot 2010 vs 2013
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8fd927f7-30fd-49b7-809c-cb1414955638/linked-tables-excel-2013-vs-2010-difference?forum=sqlkjpowerpivotforexcel
maybe it helps you to understand the issue
I assume that MDS creates a new table every time you refresh it thereby breaking the link to PowerPivot
in case you only have calculated measure you may created a separate, independent linked table and define all calculated measures there
this way they at least would not get removed

I don't see Time Intelligence Calculated members in Universe

Hi there,
I use Universe (BO XI 3.0) designer over MSSSAS 2005. I created calculated member for Time dimension using wizard for YTD, MTD calculations. I can browse the results from cube no problem. But then I created a universe on top of my cube and tried to connect that universe from Desktop it doesn't show those calculated members at all.
Could you advice any tricks or tips that allow to solve a problem, please?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Michael

Michael,
A universe contains only metadata: dimensions, hierarchies and levels
The only members defined in the universe are the measures.
Other members are only accessible and visible in the final document or in the list of values.
So concerning your calculated member, if it is not linked to a particular hierarchy and linked to a parent I doubt that we will see it in a document. But for sure you will never see it in the universe.

SharePoint 2007 Export to Excel 2010 or Excel 2013 Fails to Export All Fields in All Items View

Hi All,
When I am trying to export the SharePoint View from SharePoint site to Spreadsheet (Excel 2013), I am able not able to export the the whole data, I'm missing some numerical columns from being displayed in Excel
I have Infopath form (2007) published on SharePoint Site and I am using MOSS 2007 and Excel 2013. My form has only 20 or so fields and the rest are fields I generated in the form library to do several other calculations. I have already 73 columns
displayed which should be exported to Excel, need help

Hi,
As per your post, I understand “Excel cannot connect to the SharePoint list” is thrown out in Excel 2010 when exporting the external list in SharePoint 2013. We are able to export the external list to Excel 2013.
This issue does not occur on the standard lists.
I am able to reproduce the issue and it could be a potential issue in SharePoint 2013.
We will log this issue to our suggestion box. As after the submission, we may not have any time guarantee when the fix may be released, but it may come out on next cumulative update.
Appreciate your time and efforts.
Thanks.

Excel 2010 bug -- cannot place controls on chart properly after changing paper size

I have encountered unexpected behavior in Excel 2010 when placing controls on a chart that is a separate sheet. The issue is that the controls (e.g. spinner, scroll bar, etc.) cannot be placed or moved to the right side or the bottom.
Steps to reproduce:
1) create a chart as a separate sheet
2) change the paper size to, for example, A6 (4.13" x 5.83")
3) change paper size back to Letter (8.5" x 11")
4) controls cannot be placed on right side or bottom of chart.
It appears that instead of using the current dimensions of the chart paper size to determine where controls may be placed, the smallest dimensions that have ever been applied to the chart are used.
I am looking for a workaround for this issue since I would like to use a paper size large than 8.5" x 11", but I cannot place controls on such a chart properly at this time.
Any ideas?

I have found a workaround for this issue:
1) change paper size in your default printer's preferences to the paper size you want in Excel.
2) afterwards insert or create the chart. It is automatically the correct paper size, and controls can be placed or moved properly.
3) change default printer paper size back.
In case your chart has already been created, simply copy the existing chart in step 2 instead of inserting/creating.

Changing worksheet names in excel 2010

I recently switched from excel 2003 to 2010 usnig Oralce BI Add In
In 2003 I could change the names of the Worksheets and it would not cause an issue with the Oracle BI queries
In Excel 2010 if I change the name of a worksheet after I have created a query, then Oracle BI no longer recognizes the query as being on the Tab with the new name
Is there a way to change the TAB/Worksheet name with out it impacting the Oracle BI Query?
Thanks
PerryK

Hello Lori,
I think that is possible :) one question - you want to merge those two worksheets into one pivottable report? That would be little more complicated.
If not, just try to put all your wanted columns into pivottable "row field" part - Excel won't treat the data as a calculation and will just display according to outline. One nice tip - you can always change the report layout from "compact
form" into "tabular form" (using - PivotTable Tools/Design/Report Layout). That would display the data in separate columns so you can filter easily.
Let me know, if it works :)

BPC Logic Script: Copy from calculated members (non-base) to base members

Sorting measures (calculated members) in SSAS cube designer

Hi,
In SSAS 2012 cube designer, on the "Calculations" tab I am writing some simple calculated members and displaying it in a folder (Display Folder=)
FolderA
am So this FolderA has the members as below :
[<-A1], [-A1], [A],
[A1], [A2], [A3], [A4], [A5],
and [>A5]
While I am browsing the cube from Excel 2007, this FolderA is deployed correctly along with the above measures. All fine till here.
However, while I expand FolderA, Sorting is not done correctly. It is displaying like below :
<-A1, >A5, A, A1, -A1, A2, A3, A4, A5
But I want it to be sorted correctly so that it looks good as below :
<-A1, -A1, A, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, >A5
How to do this at cube level ? Any property or any work around (using the latest SSAS 2012 version)
Thanks

Hi Yvanlathem,
I am not talking about sorting of folders/subfolders.
I want to short calculated members within the folder
As my first post itself says, For ex.,
in FolderA
this FolderA has the members as below :
[<-A1], [-A1], [A], [A1], [A2], [A3], [A4], [A5], and [>A5]
However, while I browse cube and expand FolderA ; Sorting is not done correctly. Currently it is displaying like below :
<-A1, >A5, A, A1, -A1, A2,
A3, A4, A5
But I want it to be sorted correctly as below (After
use of this solve order keyword it should sort as per below):
<-A1, -A1, A,
A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, >A5

Evaluating Calculated members in Sub Cube space

Hello all,
I have a question about evaluating calculated members against sub queries. For an example take a look into the following MDX query;
with
member [Product].[Category].[All Categories]
as sum({[Product].[Category].&[1], [Product].[Category].&[3]})
select {[Measures].[Sales Amount]}
on columns,
       [Date].[Calendar].[Month].members * {{[Product].[Category].AllMembers} - [Product].[Category].[All Products]}
} on
rows
from
select {[Product].[Category].&[1], [Product].[Category].&[3]}
on columns,
       {[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2008]&[6] :
parallelperiod([Date].[Calendar].[Month], 5, [Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2008]&[6])}
on rows
from [Adventure Works]
This query returns the data from January 2008 to June 2008 for Bikes and Clothing categories. I noticed that the Product dimension’s Category hierarchy’s [All] member is named as “[All Products]” ([All Categories] would be a nice name) and I want to name it
a bit different. So I created “with
member [Product].[Category].[All Categories]
as sum({[Product].[Category].&[1], [Product].[Category].&[3]})” calculated member. So far I get the expected results.
Further I wanted to get rid of the hard-coded members from the calculated member and I wanted to force the members in the current context (members which is specified in the sub cube space). So I modified the query as follows;
with
member [Product].[Category].[All Categories]
as [Product].[Category].[All Products]
select {[Measures].[Sales Amount]}
on columns,
       [Date].[Calendar].[Month].members * {{[Product].[Category].AllMembers} }
} on
rows
from
select {[Product].[Category].&[1], [Product].[Category].&[3]}
on columns,
       {[Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2008]&[6] :
parallelperiod([Date].[Calendar].[Month], 5, [Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2008]&[6])}
on rows
from [Adventure Works]
I expected “[Product].[Category].[All Products]” will accept the current context and will give me the results only for sub cube context. Unfortunately [All Products] returns all
the members in the Category hierarchy. My question is how would I force the calculated member to take only members specified in the sub cube space?
