hello, i am using prompts on currency types. there are three types of currencies one is DOL,EUR and GBP. i took one cell in that cell i need to display curencies like DOL or EUR ... my problem is if i take one currency it displaying correct. if i select two or three currencies in a cell at a times it shows error like #MULTIVALUE IF I select three then i want to display like Currency: DOL;GBP;EUR PLEASE ANY ONE GIVE ME GOOD SOLUTION FOR THIS...... Thanks

I think you are trying to show the prompt answer the user selected and then place the result into one cell. But you are placing the data value into that cell. So you are getting 3+ items which makes it multivalue.
You should create a variable v_Prompt_CurrencyType=UserResponse("Select Currencies:") nd place the variable in the cell. That should give you DOL;GBP;EUR. Note: The prompt text (Select Currencies:) has to match exactly to the prompt or it will return nothing.
Did I understand your problem?

Multivalued dimensions

Hi!
Has anyone dealt with multivalued dimensions (many-to-many relationship between facts table and a dimension) in OWB?
There is an article about this from Kimball in http://www.dbmsmag.com/9808d05.html , but how could I apply it in OWB?
Thank you,
Yorgos

Hi,
I looked at creating a bridge table for a multivalued problem I was having at Government site. However, because there was no unique identifier for the data in my 'dimension' I just degenerated the data into my fact.
However, Ralph Kimball does have quite a good example of this type of problem in Chapter 13 of his book 'The Data Warehouse Toolkit', I would probably implement the solution using dimensions to control the FK-toPK relationships. This looks a little different to the article you mentioned before. Basically he adds an extra table between the fact and the bridge table.
Hopefully this helps.
Thanks

Hi... I am facing a proble in my report........

When i run the query.... in the report error (MULTI VALUE)is displaying. My data base is ORACLE 9i. What is multi value error ? Why it comes ? How can i resolve this issue..?
Plz let me the solution of this issue
Thanks for help...

Ravi,
Here is the detailed explanation from WebI help on the #multivalue problem:
The #MULTIVALUE error occurs when a formula that returns multiple values is placed in a single report cell.
If the detail object contains multiple values for each value of the dimension, the cell shows #MULTIVALUE.
Looking at this from an SQL perspective, if you have a primary key set on a table and you try to insert a new row and it rejects due to PK violation, then #multivalue is along those same lines. The way to debug is to look at the data you are trying to display minus any measure or metric and you should then see the duplicate that is causing the multi value error.
Thanks,
John

Problem Importing XML Issue with FLAT MultiValued Field.

I'm importing parts to my repository with a number of fields. This import is used to both UPDATE existing parts as well as add new parts to the catalogs. We want the fields in the import to be updated. There is one flat MultiValued Field that we need to hold just the value that we're adding in the XML. This should overwrite the others. I have tried many different configurations. I want to know how to make this change happen without overwriting fields that are no contained in the XML.

Hi,
Map the multivalued field with the source field, then right click on the maultivalued field at destination side, right click on it and set Multi-Valued Update = Replace . By default this property is set to Append which simply append the values from the source field.
Kindly update us...

SSRS with DAX - parameters multivalue vs total element

Hi all,
I'm using SSRS on top of a SSAS tabular model to create intuitive dashboards for management department.
One thing I'm struggling with is the lack of a "total" on parameters. What I'm doing is, based on the fact table, I create the datasets that will feed each parameter, so it only has the dimension members available on the fact table. That is fine
performance wise, you only have 1 element and it renders very quickly.
For a management perspective at a higher level it is important to view the totals to have the big picture of the information. In my project we are in a University, so I have the parameters Year, school (there are several schools in the university campus)
and the course (computer sciences, math, statistics, etc).
At first glance, if I'm a course coordinador I want to pick my course and have a global view, and I'm achiveing that, but imagine now, that I am the school coordinator, or the university coordenator.
I want to see the aggregate values by all courses or by all schools.
In my view I have 2 ways to do this and I come from a tradition cubes background:
1 - I would use the all element the cubes hierarchy have on each attribute
2 - I would use multivalue parameters with StrToSet (worse performance)
Using DAX what is your approach?
Best regards

Hi AsifMehmood,
Per my understanding you have create an SSRS report with SharePoint list, now you don’t know to create the distinct parameters by using CAML query, right?
For the CAML language doesn’t have any reserved word (or tag) to set this particular filter to remove duplicate results, but we can use the custom code to do this function. I have tested on my local environment and we can do that by create one hidden parameter(Param1)
to get all the values from the fields which will add the filter and then create another parameter(Param2) to get the distinct values based on the Param1, we use the custom code to do the deduplication.
Step by Steps information in below thread for your reference to create the parameters and the custom code:
"How to get distinct values of sharepoint column using SSRS"

FIM multivalue attribute export to SQL - error 0x80230808

Hi,
Running FIM Synchronization Service v 4.0.3531.2 - Update1.
This instance is a simple setup, import from AD, export to SQL. I'm trying to export two multivalue attributes, one is a normal multivalue string, second is a reference attribute (member). My anchor is the GUID from AD in string format, perfectly fitting
into uniqueidentifier sql datatype.
Since I wanted to have the member values in the multivalue table also stored in a uniqueidentifier column (for further linking) I had to create two columns, one as "uniqueidentifier" and second as "text". FIM configuration went smoothly,
I defined a member multivalue reference attribute and selected the uniqueidentifier column as "String attribute column", and the other multivalue string attribute had to be linked as "Large string attribute column" and I pointed it to the
text datatype column.
Synchronization completed without errors, export step properly exported all multivalue string attributes to the text column, BUT when it came to exporting the GUID reference attribute to the uniqueidentifier column it exported only the first value showing
a "dn-attribute-failure" error. From the FIM GUI it was only showing the error number = 0x80230808.
I did a SQL trace to see what's going on. I re-run the export and saw FIM trying to delete all the values for this attribute multiple times with:
DELETE from [tblAD_Multivalue] WHERE [objectGUID] = N'{B011B424-5B2F-43A9-84C5-8605A570487B}' AND [attributeName] = N'member'
followed by doing cursor magic with the first value that was already added:
exec sp_cursor 180150007,4,0,N'tblAD_Multivalue',@objectGUID='B011B424-5B2F-43A9-84C5-8605A570487B',@attributeName='member',@guidValue='2E52A484-C7F6-49C0-AAC8-0A30C732A385'
After repeating the above for over 10 times it added a export_error_detail:
update [mms_connectorspace] set [export_error_detail] = N'<export-status>
<cd-error>
<error-code>0x80230808</error-code><error-literal>[Modify] Failed operation</error-literal>
</cd-error>
</export-status>
',[count_export_error_retries] = 0,[is_export_error] = 1,[initial_export_error_date] = '2011-02-12 21:36:08.995',[last_export_error_date] = '2011-02-12 21:36:08.995',[export_error_code] = -2145189885,[unapplied_export_batch_number] = 1,[unapplied_export_sequencer_number] = 2162572,[original_export_batch_number] = 1,[original_export_sequencer_number] = 2162572,[current_export_batch_number] = 4,[current_export_sequence_number] = 2216213 where ([object_id] = '6F5C98E3-38FF-4F32-95F6-B5A315B71D7A')
I tried manually adding one of the following values directly to SQL and it worked, so I'm not really sure what's wrong here.
Any ideas?
Piotr

Hi Markus,
yes, I know all about the architecture to allow multi-value attributes to be exported to SQL.
Everything works when I have just one string value column in my tblAD_Multivalue. The problem is that my anchor in the primary table is a GUID in a uniqueidentifier SQL column type (in FIM MV it's a string), so when I'm exporting multivalue reference attributes
to SQL I would like the GUID values also to go to a uniqueidentifier type column. That's why I set up the secondary column in the multi-value table with text datatype, so FIM recognizes it as a "large string column". I think I did everything within
the guidelines, so I was puzzled when I saw that error.
Consider this simple example, you're exporting users and groups from AD, you're anchor data type is uniqueidentifier, and you need to export the member attribute and the proxyAddresses attribute. What would you do to allow future SQL joins to calculate membership?
hope this explains a bit more this scenario, would appreciate any suggestions.

Calculated variable throwing #MULTIVALUE error

I have data of employees entering time by day and time can be billable and non-billable.
I want to show a column chart where I show the number of employees categorized as per following buckets based on their NB%
"75% and Above", "50-75%" and "0-50%"
To achieve this I created a variable (measure) first that calculates the NB% and then created another variable called NB Group which basically is a set of If, ElseIf conditions that check NB% and assign value as "75% and Above", "50-75%" and "0-50%".
When I create a report with columns employee, NB% and NB Group, the NB Group value shows up fine. However when I just pull NB Group into a blank report I am getting #MULTIVALUE error.
I was expecting to see a distinct list of all the NB Groups just like it would for any other dimension and then wanted to add a new column with count of employees and convert that into a chart.
What am i doing wrong? Is there another approach I should follow?

Both [Hours] and [Non-Billable Hrs] are report level variables.
[Hours] = [Hours Entered] + [Hours Missing] (Both of these are coming from the DB/Universe)
[Non-Billable Hrs] =Sum([Hours]) In ([Employee]) Where ([Hrs Type] = "Non-Billable")
[NB Group] =If [Non-Billable Hrs]/ Sum([Hours]) > 0.5 Then "50% and Above" Else "0-50%"
Note: [NB Group] is getting converted to a measure automatically and i am not able to change it. Wondering if this is causing the problem?
Anyway, as you suggested I tried to take a small data set and get the results per Employee and that came out correctly (top table).
However, when I remove the employee and try to aggregate I am not getting the expected count.
Here, Employee =Count([Employee])

Please Assists

Hi Sasi,
Could you please test the following solutions:
Solution1:
Use slice and dice to reset all the tables that have #multivalue in it. The only problem with this workaround is they have to do the formatting manually.
Solution2:
Also, test the issue by changing the object to dimension if it is a measure or to measure if it is a dimension.

Multivalue error when using the previous() function

I am getting a multivalue error when using the previous() function on a dimension object in the report. I thought that the previous function was supposed to look at the current report and then look at the previous record's contents. How could this possibly give me a multivalue error when the value is clearly output in the previous row? Anyone have any ideas?
By the way, this is a valuable function for the types of reports that I design. The next() function would be even more valuable.
Thanks for your help.

Using xml schema problem (SAP MDM 7.1 Syndicator)

Good day !
I try to syndicate directory which correspond to some xml-schema and I have a problem.
I want to syndicate data from hierarchy table which have one field which have a type like lookup <Flat> (multivalued).
In XML-schema element "DEF_PRODUCT" and "DEF_PRODUCT_CODE" - attribute presents hierarchy table.
"CREDIT_PRODUCT" and childs presents linked flat table.
According idea and business rules I must get the result like this: each "DEF_PRODUCT" have N-"CREDIT_PRODUCT". One - to- many.
But when I set up all map completely and look to xml result file I start to be disappointed.
XML result file approximately must be like this:
<DEF_PRODUCT>
    <CREDIT_PRODUCT/>
    <CREDIT_PRODUCT/>
    <CREDIT_PRODUCT/>
</DEF_PRODUCT>
but in result I have all <CREDIT_PRODUCT> in one node and child attributes.
I attach 3 pics which explain my situation.
xml-schema :[http://xmages.net/storage/10/1/0/6/3/upload/42ca6ca8.jpg]
field mapping: [http://xmages.net/storage/10/1/0/6/a/upload/bbbc09f2.jpg]

Anybody can help me?
About software : SAP MDM 7.1 (7.1.04.139)
P.S: My problem can be resolved succesfully if I will use 1 <main> table and 1 <qualified flat> table.
       But in my case I must use hierarchy - structure because it most usable for business - users

If SAP MDM will present many opportunities to me I will be very glad.
I repeat I must get output xml which have the pair like "RemoteKey"="RemoteSystem" in tuple subnode.
In tuple, after your advices.
Ideally, Syndicator must present to each user ability to choose pair "RemoteKey" = "RemoteSystem" in each subnode like <LookUp> table in root (look at my example pic).
Imagine you have one root table and N-linked <lookup> tables.
Tree like this :
<main tbl>
<subtbl1/>
<subtbl2/>
<subtbl3>
     <childtbl1/>
     <childtbl2/>
</subtbl3>
</main tbl>
It's dangerous to deprive SAP MDM user to select pair "RemoteKey" = "RemoteSystem" from ROOT to ALL and LAST LEAF in abstract hierarchy. How do you think ?
Now, I haven't abilities to solve my problem using standard resources. Really ?

Workaround on all the limitations of Qualified Lookups, Multivalued Tuples.

Dear Experts,
As we all know, there are lots of limitations on Qualified Lookups in MDM 5.5 and also in MDM 7.1....
1) Can't write Assignments...
2) Failed validation won't specify which qualified link has failed.
3) Compare records won't show link wise comparison of qualified links.
4) Can't start qualified link level workflows.
5) Role level constraints not applicable for Qualified lookup and tables referencing from QL directly or indirectly.
6) Qualified link level check-in check-out operations are not possible.
7) Qualified link level unique constraints are not possible (this becomes pain if links get duplicated by mistake)
8) Duplication of QL link is not allowed in data manager (for copying Qualifier values in new Qualified link).
9) Tuple is replacement for qualified lookup, but its more restrictive than QL (validation are not allowed on multivalued tuple).
10) ....... many more (which might have discovered by you all)
What if we make all the qualified lookups as main table and link those table to actual main table using Lookup [ Main] field type?
Well it will restrict the data analysis objective which is one of goal of Master Data Management...
But this will solve all the problems and limitations due to Qualified Lookup or Multivalued Tuple!
I think its feasible and technically possible (But only in MDM 7.1 onward)
How is the IDEA !!!
Thanks & Regards,
- Shailesh.

Dear Michael,
Thanks for your valuable replay...
Well out of 9 pain points I listed above...
Some of them may be fixed in future releases...
But there are some points which (I feel) may not be on the feature list of future releases like....
2) Failed validation won't specify which qualified link has failed.
3) Compare records won't show link wise comparison of qualified links.
4) Can't start qualified link level workflows.
6) Qualified link level check-in check-out operations are not possible.
(all these points are applicable for tuples also)
Above points can be ignored at the time of fresh implementation
But its become blocker in new scenarios which are taken-up after go-live! (i.e expansion of already live repository)
Most of the people in MDM might not be aware of that import works on a single main table at a time.
Well you are an expert, what you said is something new and useful... Thanks for that !
Thanks & Regards,
Shaailesh.

"MULTIVALUE" in reports

Post Author: Adrin
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
On Web Intelligence report I have encountered this problem. In some queries, if there is more than one value in database for some of the fields of query, the report can't display all values in different rows. It returns the data with the value of "#MULTIVALUE" for some fields.

Post Author: jsanzone
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Adrin,
#Multivalue is a tricky item to navigate around, but let me explain a little bit of why it happens in a WebI environment.
If you create a section on two items, then your two items must synchronized properly, otherwise your second item (the typical culprit) will show up as a #Multivalue entry. Let me give you a "for instance".
You have an ID field and a reference (or description field): A/Dog; A/Cat.
Both IDs are A, however, the reference one time shows as "Dog", then again as "Cat". If you put the ID and Reference in a Section but on two lines (or two cells), the Reference will show #Multivalue because WebI is seeing two items that can go into one space, and boom, you get #Multivalue. The solution is to go back and look at your data for consistency, if there are any inconsistency then you'll need to fix it and that should clear up the problem. I'm not very familiar with DeskI, so I'm not sure why you get different results, but when you see the problem in WebI, it normally means that something has not gone along with plan, so you need to regroup.

Multivalue Attributes

We are implementing Portal, and one of the requirements we have is to load multiple values into a single attribute. For example, a document might have an attribute for Manufacturer. We want to be able to assign GM, FORD, or both values. I know we can use a multivalue attribute, but there doesn't appear to be a way to validate the contents or select values from a predefined list. What is the best way to address this problem?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Kevin

hi kevin,
you could use the perspectives attribute to implement this. the perspective is our only multi-value attribute that we have in portal.

christian
