How to create Date relationship with Fact and DimDate on Tabular model?

I have two tables in SQL Server 2014 SSAS Tabular model.
DimDate(defined as data table) have date column (format is 1.7.2010 00:00:00) This table have been impoted from AdventureWorks.
FactSales have SalesDate column (format is 25.03.2015 18:08:05). This table have been imported from Excel. Colums is defined as date in Excel.
When I set Data Type as date in Tabular I get error:
"Datatype conversion failed for table...Value:'25.03.2015 18:08:05'"
I have tried to create calculated colums like =DATEVALUE([SalesDate]) and =DATE(YEAR([SalesDate]),MONTH([SalesDate]), DAY([SalesDate])), but getting error.
What should I do so that I can create relationship between Date column?
Kenny_I

Hi Kenny_l,
According to your description, you fail to convert the data type into date after creating calculated column with expression. Right?
In Analysis Services, the tabular will detect the source data type to determine which data type can be converted to. If you want to convert a data into date type, no matter this data is from database or a file, you must make sure this data can be recognized
as a date in SQL Server. In this scenario, the format '25.03.2015 18:08:05' can't be recognized as date even you apply DAX functions. So please change the format of the column in excel like "03.25.2015 18:08:05".
PS: For testing, you can create a temp table and insert sample text into a date column, because the date format in SQL Server depends on the location selection when installing.
After retrieving data from data source and all values within column are correct format, you can change the data type into Date, and select the format you expect.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How to Create a Table with Merge and partitions in HANA

Hi,
What is the best way to create a Table with MERGE and PARTITION and UNLOAD PRIORITIES.
Any body can you please give me some examples.
Regards,
Deva

Ok,
1) the UNLOAD PRIORITY has nothing to do with the order of data loads in your ETL process
2) Unloading of columns will happen automatically. Don't specify anything specific for the tables, then SAP HANA will take care about it
3) Not sure where you get your ideas from, but there is no need to manually "flush" tables or anything like that. SAP HANA will take care of memory housekeeping.
4) Partitioning and how to specify it for tables has been largely documented. Just read up on it.
5) Delta Merge will happen automatically, as long as you don't prevent it (e.g. by trying to outsmart the mergedog rules)
Seriously, I get the impressions that this list of requirements is based on some hear-say and lack of actual information and experience with SAP HANA. There are a couple of extensive discussions on data loading optimization available here in SCN and on SAPHANA.COM. Please read those first.
All this had been discussed broadly a couple of times.

How to create a chart with x and y input arrays

I am trying to create a chart that receives chunks of data from a while loop. I know how to create a chart in order to append new data points to those points already in the display, but a regular chart doesn't let me specify the x axis data points. Is there a way to create a chart with x and y array inputs?
Thanx,
Tom

It's called an XY Graph. If you need an XY graph to behave like a chart, look at the shipping example called XY Chart.

How to create a playlist with podcasts AND music?

I created a playlist with both podcasts and music in it. The thing is when I try to shuffle it, only music plays. When I start playing podcasts, none of my music plays. How can I make them both play at the same time and shuffle on the same playlist?

In iTunes, you created a playlist (with songs and podcasts), and then synced that playlist to the iPod? Or you manually created a playlist on the iPod, and manually added songs and podcasts to that playlist? It needs to be an actual playlist that is on the iPod, not simply songs and podcasts on the iPod.
If you have a playlist on the iPod.... In shuffle mode, only songs play. Set the iPod to play-in-order (not shuffle). Then, select the playlist on the iPod (by selecting Music -> Playlists from the Home screen). With the playlist selected, press Play/Pause. The playlist plays the song and podcasts in the order shown for that playlist in iTunes.

How to create date variable with interval in VC

Hi Everyone,
I have 2 questions:
My scenario:
I am using a BI 7.0 Query which is having some variables. I want the same variables to be displayed in the VC output.
Question 1:
I know that how to bring these variables in variable screen, but when we use these queries, dont the variables in the variable screen automatically ask for the input?
I tried it but it is not happening automatically.
There are 2 inputs for queries with variables, i tried using both, but it is not working properly. Can any one tell me is it possible.
Question 2:
In this variable screen, I have to select date with interval format. but i dont know how to use variable with interval. ( Date with interval format).
I hope some one might have come across the same scenario .. If so please share with the solution me ..
Regards,
Chan

Ok .. Let me be very clear .. I think I confused you.
As you mentioned I have done every thing in query level.
I have created a query with a variable which is an interval based variable(date).
When I execute the query it asks for the dates to display the inbetween data.
I gave the inputs and the data is displayed properly.( So far what I have mentioned is all in Query designer).
In VC, I have used this query and it is having two ports named INPUT and VARIABLE. I know that I need to give input in variables. I selected the calander month variable from the list to display. After this I deployed the model. In the output screen the table is displayed and 1 text box is also available for the date input. I know that here I have to give date with same format as in Query designer output. I tried so many ways to give input by even selecting some other options like date picker but it is giving the following error - Variable expects interval values; enter an interval.
The date format which I m using in Query is "MM.YYYY" and I m using the same format in VC too.
Now I hope that u can understand better.
I want to know is there any other way through which this can enter interval value or what mistake I m doing in the above explained scenario?

Chan

How to create Base Dimensions with MaxL and Text File?

Hi,
Doing a scratch rebuild of a cube every month. Don't want to have a 'dummy' outline with base dimensions to copy over every build. Instead want to build from text file somehow. Thus my plan is to: 1) Delete the existing app/db 2) Create a new blank app/db 3) Create the base dimensions in the outline via text file and 4) Build entire outline via a text file. I'm stuck on #3 how to get the 'base dimensions' built via text file. I need:
ACCOUNTS
PERIOD
VALUE
VIEWS
SCENARIO
CUSTOM4
YEAR
CUSTOM3
CUSTOM2
ENTITY
CUSTOM1
I see this MaxL, but it uses a 'rules file' and I never have built a rules file to create base dims so I'm confused if it's possible or not...
import database sample.basic dimensions
from data_file '/data/calcdat.txt'
using rules_file '/data/rulesfile.rul'
on error append to '/logs/dimbuild.log';

We rebuild our Departments and Organization from an enterprise hierarchy master each week.
The way we implemented (what you call #3) was to not do #1 and #2, but to have a "destructive" load rule for each of these dimensions using a text file. (in the "Dimension Build Settings" for the load rule, select "Remove Unspecified" to make it destructive)
The text file just has the dimension name (parent) and any children we needed defined in a parent/child relationship. For instance
"Sales Departments" "0100-All Departments"
This essentially works the same as deleting the app because the destructive load rules will drop all the blocks of data that were unspecified.
Then we run our SQL load rule to build the rest of the dimensions from the Location Master.
We perform a level-0 export prior to this process, then reload the level-0 data and execute all the consolidation scripts to get the data back (now in a current enterprise defined hierarchy)

How to create process chain with dso and infocube at a time

hi friends,
i have a FLATFILE in application server and i need to upload it to STANDARD DSO and i created a INFO PACKAGE and DTP for DSO.
i have a STANDARD INFOCUBE to upload data from above DSO. here DSO is the source. i want to schedule this process in process chain. how could i do this. any one please give me solution.
can any one explain me the options in RSPC and how they work and where we exactly use. this is very helpful to me. please give me guidance. thank you.
thanks,
sree

First make sure you have already created the infopackage to load the data from server to the DSO and the DTP to load data from DSO to the Cube.
Now goto Tcode RSPC.
Choose Create process Chain option. provide appropriate technical name and description.
Drag "Execute infopackage" process type from left hand side pane in RSPC. Choose the infopackage to load the data from Server to DSO. you can find this infopackage using the F4 help in the above selected process type.
Drag the "data transfer process" process type to load data from the Flat file data source above to the DSO.
Then Drag the "Activate DataStore Request" process type and select the DSO in which you would load the data using the above DTP.
Drag the "data transfer process" process type to load data from DSO to the Cube.
Save, activate and schedule the process chain according to appropriate time.

i want to create index on   STORED_VALUE, LOV_NAME
Thanks

No.AFAIK, there's nothing called as "parameterized MV".
Materialized View store data like tables (and not like Views). So, does it make sense when you say - "table with parameters" ?
Could you please explain your business requirement?
What is the purpose behind those 2 parameters?

How to create search engine (with UIX and BC4J) across nested VOs?

Suppose I have N:N relationship beetween the DB tables so the intermediary table is created (PK is Primary Key, FK is foreign key):
table1 (PK_ID1, ATTR11, ATTR12...)
table2 (FK_ID1, FK_ID3) //where both FKs are Primary Key this is intermediary table
table3 (PK_ID3, ATTR31, ATTR32...)
The goal is to create a data model (ie EOs, VOs and AM) so that I can create a search page in UIX that would have search fields from tables 1 and 3 ! However, the search result display should return only table 1.
for example:
table1=INDIVIDUALS (IID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME...)
table2=EMP_PHO(IID, PID)
table3=PHONES(PID, PHONE)
so an individual may have more than one phone and one phone may belong to more then one individual (ie family home phone)
and say, I want to search by phone number (PHONE) and to return individuals in a table?
Please help

Hai Nikhil,
Please find below sample code for your report logic.

How to create Clipping Masks with Shapes and Text?

Hi there! I am new to Illustrator and am currently attempting to learn it. I am creating a logo that has text and has a shape that goes through the text to make the text appear as if it has claw marks in it.
I have two layers. The layer with the shape "claw" marks, and a layer with the text. The shape layer is currently above and the text layer is currently below. If I select both layers and click on Make Clipping Mask it has the text displayed within the little claw marks, how do I reverse that? Because when I try to change the order of the layers it doesn't clip anything?
Thank you so much!
Aaron

Hi Monika,
Sorry for taking so long to reply... This is what I am trying to accomplish. I tried following your directions above, but that only made the text invisible and I tried moving the claw layers above and below the text... and it only appeared as if the claws per se were filling up with the text color.
Here is what I am trying to accomplish:

How to create a grid with arrays and booleans?

As part of a bigger project, I'm trying to create a sub-VI which will allow me to move a "cursor" in a 3x3 array.
There should be 2 boolean inputs, one for moving down in the array, and the other for moving to the right. Once the edge of the array has been reached, the "cursor" will start back from the beginning.
I have a vague idea of a 2 dimensional array with LED's. Once "down" has been pressed, the LED corresponding to (0,0) will turn off, turning (0,1) on. Same goes for the "right" button. When "down" is pressed at (0,2), the LED should turn off, and LED (0,0) should turn on.
I'm sure it has something to do with initializing arrays, but i can't seem to find the right way to do it.
Any kind of assistance is much appreciated. Thanks!

How to create an array with controls and indicators?

I want to create a scrollable array of control/indicator pairs from a config file. Something that looks like the attached image. Of course, I can only create an array that's either either a control or indicator -- not both (the operator should not be able to edit the name or change the state of the LED). So I guess I need to split the array and have two side-by-side and SOMEHOW link the scrollbars. But then I have no idea how I can get the control switch states from the array. Is there an easier way to do what I'm trying to do?

Hello,
Another option would be to use the custom control I built for you, see below. You can just drop this into an array, it should look like your example (more or less).
