Newbie question: Designing a contact info retrieval based on filters

Dear all,
I am new to SSAS trying and need help in designing this reporting requirement
Filter for Customers based on dimensions (regular and fact) in various tables related by many-to-many relationships
With this list of Customers, retrieve their contact details (address, email, etc)
My plan is to use SSAS (multidimensional) with either Excel 2007/SSRS reports for the user front end. My queries are:
Should the customer contact details be a dimension or fact? (One customer has only one contact detail and it resides in the same table)
Once the customers have been filtered, how then to generate the customer’s contact details from the filter results?
Will my choice of tools work for my requirements?
Many thanks in advance,
Best regards,
CT

Hi CTE00,
The customer contact details shoud be the attributes for "Customer" dimension. For question2, what's is the filter of Excel/SSRS reports? The reports will generate corresponding result based on the filters.
For question 3: Office Excel is a powerful tool, which offers lots of new business intelligence (BI) features and functionality. It should suit you perfectly, and meet your needs. For detail information, please refer to the following articles:

Newbie question - trying to apply info from a table to a cell

I'm a trucker who has purchased a MBP and want to use a spreadsheet to calculate cost for fuel. I am familiar with spreadsheets, but not that in depth. I want to be able to apply state taxes for fuel cost, but not sure how to apply it using a table. I want to use a cell to type in the state abbreviation and have the cell apply the state sales tax to my spreadsheet from a table with all the states and sale taxes. Here the table I have set up in my spreadsheet.

Any help would be appreciated a great deal.
"El Capitone"
P.S. if you need to see the actual spreadsheet, I can send it to you by email. I tried to attach it to this message, but was unable to do so.

El Capitone,
I'm assuming you want to find the total amount of state taxes paid to each individual state, but I'm not sure what these rates mean or how they are to be applied. Actually, their application may vary from state to state. However, two possiblities are shown here and if this is not what you want you'll get back to us.
1. If the rates mean $ per gallon then tax paid is is shown in column D below and the formula is:
=IF(ISBLANK(Gals),"",Tax Rate*Gals)
2. If the rate means a percent of the pump price after all other taxes and charges are added in, the result appears in column F:
=IF(ISBLANK(Tot Cost),"",Tot Cost-Tot Cost/(1+Tax Rate))
As I say, I have the feeling this problem may be more complex.

Unable to Retrieve Contact Info from synch server - Gator wrote to try renaming file but I can't manage to find the pathway on my Win 7 computer for that file! got as far as my name under user but can't get to application data. Can someone help?

Hi, going crazy. Can't get this fixed. Unable to retrieve contact info from synch server. I did re-do synch using one time only replace I-phone info from "contacts" on computer and tried synching after that - no use same error!
I saw someone by name of Gator wrote pathways to follow in windows but got only as far as user (yes, selected my name as user as opposed to public) then clicked it open but lost after that - can't get to appdata for the next step.... any help or ideas would be soooooo appreciated. I'm so tired of this issue. thanks!

Location-based reminder mixes-up my contact info when selecting "home" on the first reminder to a friend's home

When I set my first location-based reminder, I set it to arrive at a friend's house. However, now the Reminders app thinks that my friend's place is my "home." His home, work, etc numbers all appear as the default entries, thinking they are my addresses when creating a new reminder. Furthermore, suddenly his picture was tied to my account, even on my computer when logging into iCloud!
I looked everywhere and could not find this issue reported.
Is there any way I can change it so that my home actually is my home, the default locations are my locations, and my picture is my real picture?
And most importantly, if it cannot be fixed, given that my friend's picture and addresses are now tied to my info, is there anything else that is now mixed-up in my iPhone/iCloud account and contact info?
Thanks much for your help!
MikeY
EDIT: I think I fixed this issue ( ! ) doing the following:
I deleted every reminder from my phone
Next I turned off Reminders under my iCloud settings. (On the iPhone under Settings->iCloud)
When prompted, I selected to delete local reminders on my iPhone that were formerly synced.
Next I turned the Reminders back on.
Now I re-entered the Reminders app, and created a new reminder.
This time I made sure to set my home as the location.
Once saved, all further location-based reminders correctly identify my home/work/etc...and now my friend's home is added as a "Custom Location"
Did this fully fix the issue? ...Hopefully this will help others that may see this problem....

Also try the info in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16350173#16350173
There is a new "My Info" part in the Mail, Contacts, Calendars section. Make sure your contact info has been selected and then Reminders will default to both your home and work addresses.

Can I retrieve contact info from a database without the BlackBerry

Here's my story---a couple of weeks ago, I dropped my Pearl 8130 into a big cup of water. After it miraculously came back to life, I decided it was high time to BACKUP my contact info... so I used desktop manager version 4.3.0.17 to do so... I only clicked on 'Addresses' which I assumed meant contacts. I kid you not---the VERY NEXT DAY, my poor BlackBerry went into the pool with me. Now, despite the fact that I just mentioned having gone swimming, I actually do not lead a lavish lifestyle... I live in the desert, and I needed to get my poor, overheated toddler into the pool asap. I do have cell phone insurance, but I don't have the $50 deductible to get a new BlackBerry. I am using a used Casio G'zOne Boulder right now. I had SO much contact info though, that I need. So, here is my question. Is there a way to convert the database (IPD File) info I saved into a word document, or some other readable form so I can obtain all my contacts?
Thank you in advance,
Crystal

Crystal, Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
Yes, google search for ABC Amber IPD Converter, and use that. It's not free, but the the trial software will handle limited number of records.
If you end up getting a new BlackBerry, you can restore that backup IPD file to your new device.

TS2634 retrieve contact info

i just update to 5.1 version and lost all my contact info..............can anyone help?? Please.................

You should have set it up to sync with your computer the very first time you used the iphone.

Need the contact info

We are a new campus on iTune U(Morehead State University). I got an email recently which shows that Our iTune U application is approved and our authorized signing person (my boss) should get an email for detail instruction. However, he didn't get it. Can anybody help me? Is there a contact info of the iTune U team? I have tried to search it. I didn't find anything.

Vishal,
As always, your best point-of-contact for local iTunes U issues is your school's Apple Account Executive (otherwise known as an "AE"). This person has direct links to the iTunes U marketing and engineering teams and can vouch for your ownership of UMKC's iTunes U site.
If someone else at UMKC created your iTunes U site, it's very unlikely that Apple would provide you with that person's Apple ID and password (in fact, it's almost certainly impossible for Apple to retrieve the password). Without a valid Apple ID/password combo, it will be impossible for you to get your site's base URL and shared secret. The iTunes U team could certainly send these to you but, as they are largely based in Cupertino, they cannot know "for sure" that it's correct to do so. That's where the local Apple folks, the account executives, come in. They do know you and the other principals at your school, they can help establish that you are the new owner of your UMKC's iTunes U site for Cupertino.
Notwithstanding iTunes U, I find it's valuable to ping my AE and SE every week or so. Both of my local Apple reps are great…my current AE is Ty Beckmann (who also serves as the AE for about half of Chicago's higher ed institutions) and my SE is Jason Bruder, who has done yeoman's work for us. In a pinch, I might bug my former AE/SE (the venerable Jack McLaughlin and the brilliant Mike Miley respectively)…but both have moved on to other schools/roles at Apple, so I'd have to be pretty desperate first.
Long story short, it's good to know who is your Apple account executive and who is your Apple service engineer. If you have a bookstore that sells Macs on campus (or some entity that sells Apple stuff on behalf of your campus), someone there will -know- who your Apple AE is.

HT4859 how to restore backed up contact info

When I downloaded and installed iOS 6, I lost 3/4's of my contact info. How do I retrieve this much needed info?

Log into icloud.com using a computer's browser and look at the contacts page. If only 3/4's of the contacts are there as well, then the remaining ones were not part of icloud. I suspect that your device had some contacts in the "icloud" section and others in the "On my iPhone" (or whatever device you are using). Those in the latter section were probably not in a backup and thus did not return.
If you back up to icloud, just know that icloud contacts (or any of the Apple data like calendars, reminders, etc.) are not part of a backup, since they are already in icloud's databases. If you did have the missing contacts on a computer, then if not there, look for them in a backup of the computer, For example, if using a mac, check in Time Machine.

Macbook Pro uses wrong contact info, how do I change it?

I am brand new to the Mac world and just imported all of my contacts, however it has "me" listed as my sister in law and her information comes up in forms and emails. I did read another very similar question and the answer was to just edit her info to be mine. When I do that it then changes her contact info and deletes her from my contact list in all my devices including my phone. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Launch Address Book / Contacts.
Create a new card with the correct information
or
Select/ Highlight the vCard you want to be referred to.
Click "Card" in the menu bar and select "Make This My Card".
Hope this works.

After this you will have the option to restore your contacts and other settins. The question is will it restore my first phones info? I am hesitant to delete anything lol.

No. If you made your backup to iCloud, iTunes will not restore from an iCloud backup. See:

Need to fix downloading/formatting of Outlook contact info

I have a 3G Nano. I am familiar w/ the process to download contacts from Outlook on my PC to my Ipod using iTunes. The problem I'm having is that iTunes does a poor job of formatting the Contact info from Outlook once it is downloaded to my Ipod. For example, when I download contact info for a person for whom I have both a home and business address the business address info is displayed on my Ipod as a home address. There are other examples of misformatted info that is displayed on my Ipod but hopefully you get my point. The Contact info coming from Outlook on my Windows PC is correct but it is not being 'placed' into the correct categories once it is transferred and then displayed on my Ipod.
Is there a way in Itunes to alter the format or layout of the contacts shown on your Ipod? What is the hierarchy or order of the Contacts info downloaded from Outlook as determined by Itunes or Ipod software? Does Itunes or Apple provide any better functionality in terms of formatting contacts and allowing me to determine/edit the layout/appearance of my contact data from Outlook? If so, how?
I've been to a Genius Bar at an Apple store in San Diego and the person assisting me said that he couldn't find an answer. I have also scanned the user forums here on the Apple website and Ionmac.com for a solution to this specific question but I can't find an answer.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have a "Contact" organization issue I need help with. I organize multiple customers under their account affiliation. I place the people with their contact info under each account name by their dept/role in the notes section of their account. I am looking to be able to directly dial / email from this info in yet notes section located within a contact. On Blackberry, the notes area entered in a contact can connect directly but on the iPhone those numbers/emails are inactive. I am trying to avoid having to create each of these individuals as a separate contact and keep them under their account affiliation. It is easier to find them. This does not seem like that complicated of a request and hoping someone can tell me how or share an app that will enable the "notes" within a contact be "active". Hope this makes sense.

I seem to recall that this question has been asked before and I'm pretty sure that the answer is that you can't do what you want to do with the native contact app. However, there are lots of contact apps out there that pull from the built app's data but have other features. Perhaps one of them would meet your needs.
