Performance Point - 1 Dashboard, 2 cubes, 1 Time intelligence filter, filtering 2 different date dimensions on different cubes!

Hi
Hope you are well.
I have a challenge. I am working with Performance Point and a number of different cubes.
In this case I need to include graphs and charts from 2 different cubes on one dashboard page.
The challenge I have, is to be able to use a Time Intelligence filter from one cube, eg, [TimeSold].[Calendar hierarchy] on Cube 1, and for this to filter graphs from the second cube (second cube [Time].[Calendar hierarchy]), on one dashboard page.
Is there any way I can achieve this using MDX or Parameters within performance point?
I cannot amend the cubes or dimensions. I have to work with the front end tools only.

Hi ShebUK,
I don't think we can achieve this requirement on the front end, but you can discuss this issue at the following forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?category=performancepointserver
I'm not familiar with PerformancePoint Services and not sure that we can implement linked dimension to achieve this. A linked dimension is one that exists in one Analysis Services database, but reused in another Analysis Services database of the same version
and compatibility level. For more information, please see:

Create Time intelligence Filter like performance point

Hi in my cube I have some attributes like in my DIM Calendar such as
today,yesterday, currentweek,last week, monthtodate etc.
I would like to create a Time intelligence filter/hierarchy similar to how you can in performancepoint but it is actually a hierarchy in the DIM Calendar dimension.
Is there anyway this can be done?
Regards

I do something similar in many of my date dimensions. All I do is add a few columns on my Date table view to provide values for CurrentDay, Yesterday, SameDayLastYear, YesterdayLastYear etc.
You can do the same sort of logic for weeks and months. Note, this won't do MTD etc, but you can do that in the cubes Time Intelligence. The advantage of the CurrentDay, CurrentWeek, CurrentPeriod, and CurrentYear attributes is that reports can
be relative in time. ie, the filter can be a multi-select of this period and last period, showing weeks on columns, which will have 5-9 weeks. Always being the last 5-9 weeks, without the user having to change the current period etc.
See my blog for more information and examples.

Connect a Date Dimension to a cube without relationship

Hi everybody,
I would like to answers to one business requirements.
I create a cube that models the following event : a customer send a product from an agency to another customer who receives it in another agency.
So I have a fact table with only two measures
Amount
Count
which is connected to these dimensions
Product
Sending Date
Receiving Date
Sender (Customer)
Receiver (Customer)
Sender (Agency)
Receiver (Agency)
The users would like to analyse the following KPI, at a specific date :
Number of transactions sent, the amount
Number of transactions received, the amount
Number of transactions pending, the amount
To answer this business requirement, I have added a new date dimension in the cube with no relation, so that the user can select a date from this independent dimension and get the different KPIs.
But I don't get any results.
Is it a good model ? How to make it possible for the user to use the independent Date Dimension to perform analyzes of different KPI ?

Hi Meal,
According to your description, you want to know if is it possible for the user to use the independent Date Dimension to perform analyzes of different KPI, right?
As per my understanding, we cannot do this without relationship between dimension tables and the independent Date table. However, we can add the relationship between the added date table and the fact table Sending Date and Receiving Date column. Please refer
to the link below to see the details.

Process chains- different data loads at different points of time

hi friends
i want to load   master data at 4am
and then i want to load transaction data at 4:25 am
how can i   achieve this by using process chains
to load other datas also at different times      and where we   have to specify this different timings?
thanks in advance

Hi Venkat,
Create Processchain for your data & follow the belo steps -
In Processchain Double click on start button -
1) Select direct scheduling option
2) clcik maintain selections
3) give the date & time when you want to run the job.
4) according the time that you given in selections the job is going to start.

DAX: Time intelligence and filtering out blank values

Hi all,
Quick question. I'm currently calculating the length of time between two dates ('today' vs [Completed Date]) in a new column. However, I cannot get the syntax correct to filter out the blanks in the [Completed Date] column.
My current formula is this: =FLOOR(1. * ( today() - [Completed Date]) / 365, 0.25)
I just need one more piece to work around the blanks. Any suggestions on what to add?
Thanks,
~UG

Use ISBLANK
=IF (ISBLANK([Completed Date]),BLANK(),FLOOR(1. * ( today() - [Completed Date]) / 365, 0.25))

SSAS Multidimensional Time Intelligence YTD calculation showing BLANK for Date level

Hi there,
I am working with SSAS Multidimensional Cube, basically I have defined a Time Intelligence calculations for just YTD in the Cube, the calculation was created in the Calculations tab of the cube as follows:
/*Year to Date*/
[Dimension Dim Time].[Calendar Dimension Dim Time Calculations].[Year to Date],
[Dimension Dim Time].[Year].Members,
[Dimension Dim Time].[Date].Members
=
Aggregate(
{ [Dimension Dim Time].[Calendar Dimension Dim Time Calculations].[Current Dimension Dim Time] }
PeriodsToDate(
[Dimension Dim Time].[Calendar].[Year],
[Dimension Dim Time].[Calendar].CurrentMember
My Calendar hierarchy is as follows:
Year -> Quarter -> Month -> Week -> Date
The problem I have is that when I am at Date level I am not getting the cumulative YTD value, instead I am just getting blank cells:
Could anyone help me defining a Time Intelligence YTD calculation that works for all levels including the Date (highlighted in yellow above)?
Thanks and best regards,
Joss

The only strange thing is the MDX script, I would have used this one instead (sse below) - but if this is not the issue, I would suggest you to isolate the issue in a simpler MDX script removing any other calculation.
Also take a look at the DateTool solution for these calculations - I really don't like the wizard provided by the development environment, it has other issues but not something that should affect your calculation:
http://www.sqlbi.com/articles/datetool-dimension-an-alternative-time-intelligence-implementation
/*Year to Date*/
[Dimension Dim Time].[Calendar Dimension Dim Time Calculations].[Year to Date],
    [Dimension Dim Time].[Calendar].Members,
[Dimension Dim Time].[Date].Members
=
Aggregate(
{ [Dimension Dim Time].[Calendar Dimension Dim Time Calculations].[Current Dimension Dim Time] }
PeriodsToDate(
[Dimension Dim Time].[Calendar].[Year],
[Dimension Dim Time].[Calendar].CurrentMember

Performance Point Filter Scorecard by Time Dimension (without Time Intelligence)

Hello,
I use Performance Point 2010 and want to build a Performance Point Dashboard with Scorecard. My requirement is to provide a List of Years as a Filter for a Scorecard.
In the Scorecard I have a KPI which I want filter by Time Dimension. I can do this when I use "Time Intelligence" and "Time Intelligence Connection". But I want to use the "Member Selection Filter" to filter the Scorecard
KPIs by Years (Selected from a List).
I created a "Member Selection Filter" with certain Time Dimension and put Filter to a Dashboard. In my KPI Mapping Source I added a "new Dimension Filter" and choosed the same Time Dimension as
in the "Member Selection Filter".
When I try to connect the "Member Selection Filter" to my Scorecard, I can only choose the "Curent Date Time". As I know "Current Date Time" have to be used when Time Intelligence Filter is in use.
How I have to connect the Scorecard with the "Member Selection Filter"?
Thank you very much

Performance point dashboard slow in rendering

Hi,
we have some performancepoint dashboard deployed on SharePoint 2010. These dashboard access an olap cube and display some data from cube.
Sometimes rendering of dashboard is slow. Analyzing pages using developer dashboard we found that when rendering is slow we have a lot time spent in wcf calls to performancepoint services.
For instance we spent 30 seconds in one wcf method call to GetFilterDisplayData method.
If we run profiler in sql we don't see any query on analysis during these slow calls, so we assume there are some problems in wcf calls to PerformancePoint Service.
Also we looked to this article for applying some caching settings:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/performancepoint/archive/2010/04/16/a-general-caching-overview-for-performance-point-services-for-sharepoint-2010.aspx
Pages' filters don't contain too much data except for time filter that is a multi select tree filter that contains all days from January 2010 until today.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

lookalike MSFT know about this potential performance, i think you need WCF throttling.
WCF throttling settings
PerformancePoint Services is implemented as a WCF service. WCF limits the maximum number of concurrent calls as a service throttling behavior. Although long-running queries could hit this bottleneck, this is an
uncommon bottleneck. Monitor the WCF / Service Model performance counter calls outstanding for PerformancePoint Services and compare to the current maximum number of concurrent calls.
If needed, change the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) throttling behavior. See the WCF
service throttling behaviors (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=200612) and Wenlong Dong’s blog post on WCF Request Throttling
and Server Scalability (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=200613).

Cube Translations use in Performance Point Grid

Hi,
I added translations for some of my cube measures etc in SSAS .
How do I display them by their new translation in our Performace Point grid?
Namnami

Thanks for the response. I had tried that time intelligence filter also. But the requirement is , there are 5 filter like Location, Department, Division, Year , Month.
Suppose user selects, TX Branch
Department of Med
Division one
Year 2012
Month september
YTD Or Month (user selects one of the two). If user selects Month here,
Now, My charts should display values monthly data points from Jan 2012 to September 2012. If user selects YTD then, it should display YTD data points from Jan 2012 to September 2012.
I could not force time intelligence filter to aggregate based on the user selected month and Year. With time filter I can do Last 6 month, last 12 months. But users dont want that. They want to have ability to select specific month and year and do the aggregation.
One more thing. The chart axis should cut off at the specified month the user selects. If you selects may 2012, the chart x-axis should stop at may 2012.
How can we do that?

Performance Point Services - Unable to connect to site from Dashboard designer

Recently we moved the Reports site collection from one environment to other. So the Performance point content is also copied.Now I wanted to change the report paths that were deployed using Performance point services. When I try to open the report file from
perforamnce pointcontent list it shows unexpected error. If I am trying to connect to the using Dashboard designer it says URL is not available does not reference Sharepoint Site or you do not have permissions to connect.
Pleasee see the attached file for more details.
How do the reports be fixed when they are to be deployed using Performance point services(Dashboard designer). Unfortunately we do not have the dashboard designer ddwx file with us. Its been developed by vendor and they have not given us.
How should the Dashboard reports(SSRS Report ) be moved from one environment to other.What is the best way to move the performance point dashboards from one environment to other.
Environment- Sharepoint 2010

At both site-collection level and web application level you need to enable SharePoint designer. Did you do that ?
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mcsnoiwb/archive/2010/07/01/locking-down-sharepoint-designer-2010.aspx
Opening site in SP Designer also needs WebDAV to be enabled on the web front end servers. If the problem still persists, simultaneously open up fiddler and see what's the error message you are getting. That may give you some clue to proceed

Dashboard Designer : How to default a Performance Point content to default yesterday date?

Hi there,
I need to design a dashboard with few charts and connecting to a same cube into one dashboard
Example one chart will be showing sales as of yesterday , while another show sales for the year.
Question:
How can I default the chart to filter the date to yesterday and not impacting other charts in the same dashboard?
This is the default query when i pull Invoice Date (the dimension to be defaulted to yesterday):
SELECT
ON COLUMNS,
{ [Measures].[Sales Amount] }
ON ROWS
FROM [Sales]
WHERE ( [Invoice Date].[Invoice-Year - Quarter - Month - Date].DEFAULTMEMBER )
CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, FORMATTED_VALUE, CELL_ORDINAL, FONT_FLAGS, FORE_COLOR, BACK_COLOR
Appreciate anyone can assist.
Thank you

so the PPS way is to create a date filter using a date dimension, then apply that filter to the chart.
Unfortunately, an SSAS filter's "default" must be defined by an attribute in the dimension... this means that your date dimension will NEED a special column ("default" or "isToday") that PPS can use to determine the default
value... once the datasource has this extra field, when you create the filter in PPS, connect it to the date dimension, it'll allow you to pick the default field member.

Performance Point

I have Performance Point configured and can open the Dashboard Designer. I also can correctly create a Data Source and select the Cube data base from the analysis instance.
However when I create Performance Point (Analytics Chart) I always see an error running data source Query. In the event logs I see
The Unattended Service Account "" does not have access to the cube "" or it no longer exists on the following data source server.
However I know the Cube has be built and has Admin permissions to the analysis instances. I have also provided the user full rights to the site.
What needs to be completed to ensure this functions?

I figured it out. I was able to use OR operator in filter ()

Time Intelligence current Week

Hi I am new to performance point and I'm having difficulty to understand what it going on with the the time intelligence
if I create a date range and in the formulas I put the following
day
day-1
year
week
I get the following results
day = [Date Primary Date].[Year - Quarter - Week - Date].[Date].&[20140607]
day-1 = [Date Primary Date].[Year - Quarter - Week - Date].[Date].&[20140606]
year = [Date Primary Date].[Year - Quarter - Week - Date].[Year].&[20140101]
week = [Date Primary Date].[Year - Quarter - Week - Date].[Week Name].&[2014-03-09]
I understand them all apart from the week which doesn't give me the current week which should be 2014-05-31
Why is this happening?

I went back to the setting of the time intelligence and reconfigured the date members in the data source

Hi
1) here i migrated a Publishing web applications and bi sites to 2013 sucessfully, this site is enable anonymous access
2) Installed SQLSERVER2008_ASADOMD10
3) added performance point service application pool account as a db_owner and data read access permission to content database and added permission to unattended service account to SSAS server .
3) and after i was able to connect to SSAS data soruces.
here when i open dashboards with administrator user , this user able to view dashboards
but when external user able to view dashboards it asking authentication and throws error.

Time utility shell dimension across multiple date dimensions

Hello,
I have built a time utility shell dimension based on a solution from Tomislav Piasevoli (book: MDX with SSAS 2012 cookbook) however I have modified it slightly
In his example he uses two hierarchies from the same dimension. However I have modified it to use two different date dimensions, 1 hierarchy from each of the dimensions. The hierarchies must be able to be filtered by one another or combined
in the same query. The problem I’m having is my solution does not work for
distinct count measures. It works for every other type of measure…sum, count of rows etc etc. The filtering works perfectly when one hierarchy is filtered by the other, it’s just the distinct count that won’t show the parallel period.
I have created the shell dimension the typical way. Creating a named query like below. Creating the dimension with the default value etc etc
SELECT
0 AS ID, 'As is' AS Name
UNION ALL
SELECT
1 AS ID, 'Year ago' AS Name
Below is the original MDX and my modified MDX. If anyone can help that would be great!
--original mdx for one date dimensions.. the below works perfectly for all measures including distinct counts
SCOPE( [Time Calcs].[Calc].[Year ago]);
SCOPE([Date].[Date].MEMBERS,
[Date].[Calendar Year].[Calendar Year].MEMBERS
This = (ParallelPeriod([Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year],1,[Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember),
ParallelPeriod([Date].[Calendar Weeks].[Calendar Year],1,[Date].[Calendar Weeks].CurrentMember),
[Time Calcs].[Calc].&[0]
End
Scope;
End
Scope;
--my modifed mdx for multiple date dimensions.. the below works perfectly for all measures
except distinct counts
SCOPE( [Time Calcs].[Calc].[Year ago]);
SCOPE([Date].[Date].MEMBERS,
[Date].[Calendar Year].[Calendar Year].MEMBERS
[Delivery Date].[Date].MEMBERS,
[Delivery Date].[Calendar Year].[Calendar Year].MEMBERS
This = (ParallelPeriod([Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year],1,[Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember),
ParallelPeriod([Delivery Date].[Calendar Weeks].[Calendar Year],1,[Delivery Date].[Calendar Weeks].CurrentMember),
[Time Calcs].[Calc].&[0]
End
Scope;
End
Scope;
