Show member alias of a attribute members on FR

Hi,
On FR, if I am using essbase connection, how can I show the member alias of a member alias on a text filed? by using the text function "MemberProperty", I can only get the member name of the attribute but not the alias.
Thanks in advance.

I think in the earlier version that was a preference setting which allows alias in member selection. (not in 11.1.2.2, i checked that)

Show member alias in a business rule RTP instead of member names

Hello,
Is there a way that by default in an RTP the user gets to see Aliases instead of member names? This is not very user friendly.

MDX : How to use filter on a dimension without showing it OR merge 2 attributes of the same dimension?

Hello everyone,
I'm kind of newbie with MDX language, I'm trying to get filtered measures from a cube with a specific layout.
Here is my exemple :
I want to get all the "order numbers" where the "invoice" cost is more than 300. Each invoice is linked with an ID, one order number can have several invoices.
So what I do is a select request with 2 dimensions : "order num" and "id_invoice"
Here is the result : I get all the cost sorted by "order num" and I can easealy identify those who are above 300
order num
Id_invoice
cost
Total

How is it possible to use a filter on a dimension without showing it or merge 2 attributes of the same dimension ?
The problem is that if I show "id" column, the filter doesn't work properly : it compares 300 with the total cost of the whole order and does not compare with each invoice (which could be under 300 ! - see "KO" in Total2 column)
Here is the request I use to generate this result :
with
member [Measures].[Total]
as (
[TP].[ID INVOICE].[All],
[TP].[ORDER NUM].currentmember,
[Measures].[COST]
member [Measures].[Total2]
as (
IIF([Measures].[COST] >
300, "ok",
"KO")
select
{[Measures].[COST],[Measures].[Total],[Measures].[Total2]}
on
columns,
Filter
             [TP].[ORDER NUM].[ORDER

Thank you for your help !

Olivier.

Hi Olivier,
hereunder a similar query against the AW. For all order numbers, we sum all lines above 30 without diplaying the line numbers:
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[lines above 30] AS
IIF(
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] > 30,
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],
null
MEMBER [Measures].[aggr lines above 30] AS
SUM(

[Measures].[lines above 30]
SELECT
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],
[Measures].[aggr lines above 30]
} ON 0,
[Internet Sales Order Details].[Sales Order Number].[Sales Order Number] ON 1
FROM ( SELECT
[Product].[Category].[All Products] ON 0,
[Internet Sales Order Details].[Sales Order Number].&[SO51177]:
[Internet Sales Order Details].[Sales Order Number].&[SO51178]
} ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works] )
I reduced the cube with a subselect.

Filter the attribute members based on th fact data

Hi,
Thanks for reading the post, i have a Q which is related to dimension attributes with MDX only.
I have a dimension which is a role playing of date, i want to limit the members of the attribute when i pulled it to the filter section, for now it shows me everything that are in the underlying table which it is suppose to, but i have 2 keys out of 100
that have corresponding data in fact table. when i slice it with that attribute it filters out the rest but i want to get that in the attribute when it is pulled into filter section.
Is there a way to handle it through MDX, i want to limit the values of a attribute members based on the data in fact table.
Is their a approach to create a attribute to a existing dimension on the fly using MDX????
This is what we can do but cannot:
I can do it by limiting in table in DSV, but as it is a role playing of date there wont be dedicated table for it, and i can't limit in regular date dimension which is out of scope.
I cannot create security role where this role playing dimension doesn't show up there in the list of dimensions so not working that way.
Ideas and solutions are much appreciated..
Guru

Hi,
please find the attachment below and all i am looking for is the members in the attribute should be filtered when i pull that attribute as a filter.
for example:
if i pull the attribute to the filter section it will show something like this:
Dimension Attribute operator Filter Expression
Date Date Equal when i expand 1/1/1900 (no corresponding data in fact)
1/1/2005 (no corresponding data in fact)
1/2/2005 (no corresponding data in fact)
1/3/2005 (no corresponding data in fact)
12/31/2013 (Has corresponding data in fact)
1/1/2014 (Has corresponding data in fact)
Now, my filter should show only 12/31/2013 and 1/1/2014 in the member list when i pull that as above.
Thanks Much,

Report script with attribute members

 In a report script, is there a way to output the attribute members associated with a base mbr. For example, the base member I'm interested in is item codes which is in a sparse dimension with 500k members. Each code has been tagged with 5 attribute members of buyer, warehouse, vendor, product line, and date of last receipt. Desired output is: Item Code, Buyer, warehouse, vendor, product, and date of last receipt. Right now I don't care about data at any intersections, rather I just want to output the various attributes associated with each item code. I tried doing dimbottom on items, buyers, warehouse, vendor, etc, but as expected the report would not run. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Maybe you can use the Outline Extractor, you can download itsomewhere on this website...

How to set Essbase member alias as level label for hierarchy

Experts,
* I have imported my Essbase cube metadata and see my Essbase Member Aliases as Dimension Properties in the physical layer.
* when I view members of the levels in the physical layer I see them - as I expect - represented by the human readable alias names of the members.
* now drag&drop of the model into BMM layer - I notice the aliases (Dimension Properties in physical layer) are here represented as any other Logical Columns.
* drag&drop into the Presentation Layer and I can build my reports
Problem: in reports my hierarchies display using keys (from Essbase outline) and NOT the member aliases as would make sense.
When I drop the alias column next to the hierarchy column on the report, it does display the alias of the member in the current line - but how can I switch the hierarchy display itself to the alias???
thanks

1. When you post code, post a minimal example. Did we have to scroll through
all those bloody labels.
2. Can't say much for the quality of code NetBeans generates.

        cp.add(new JLabel("set the color on the content pane, not the frame"), BorderLayout.SOUTH);

How can I get the direction handles to show up for the Position attribute?

How can I get the direction handles to show up for the Position attribute?
I have CS3 and I did the formentioned test and was able to make the handles work for the scale attribute but they don't seem to show when editing the position values.
*I am in the graph editor looking at the "value graph"
*I select the keys and convert the keys to auto bezier (I also tried the ease in and out buttons)
*It changed the graph the way you might think (no longer linear) however the handles are not showing to edit further.
*I also tried using the "convert vertex tool" (part of the pen tool) and still no luck getting those handles.
*the handles only show up in the speed graph but that does me no good.
Please help!
THANKS

I don't have CS3 installed on any of my machines any more but your value graphs for position should look something like this:
There are no handles for position in the Graph editor. You adjust the position curve by editing the motion path in the composition window. Press the G key to bring up the pen tool, then use the modifier keys Crtl/Cmnd and Alt/Option to temporarily switch between select and convert vertex to adjust the paths. Changes will be reflected in the value graphs. You will get editable handles with scale and rotation because these are not spatial properties. Spatial properties, position, Anchor Point, all XY & Z coordinates are edited in the comp window or in the layer window after revealing the properties. IOW, you edit anchor point position paths by opening up the layer window and choosing Anchor Point from the display options.
The Manual isn't wrong. Here's a link to the live docs.

How to distinguish the specific member alias in HP outline?

Because they use different calculation scripts, I need to recognize the member alias with two
different suffix:"-new" and "-old" in the same dimension. However, the @MATCH function could not meet
my requirement, because I need substitute ANY NUMBER of characters at the BEGINNING of the pattern.
Could any other function satisfy my requirement?
ps: here is the syntax of @MATCH which couldn't match my need.
@MATCH (mbrName|genName|levName, "pattern")
"pattern"
The character pattern to search for, including a wildcard character (* or ?).
? substitutes one occurrence of any character. You can use ? anywhere in the pattern.
* substitutes any number of characters. You can use * only at the end of the pattern.
To include spaces in the character pattern, enclose the pattern in double quotation marks ("").

UDA is the solution we are considering.
we also considered about using Share member to construct a virtual hierarchy.
Is there any function which could directly slove this problem?

SSAS Tabular: Show balance on latest dimension attribute

Hi,
I have a fact with transactions over time eg.
20140101, 1000
20140105,-400
In SSAS Tabular, I want to add a balance (saldo) measure, that shows the balance on any given date from my date dimension
Balance 20140106: 600
I can do this by using SUMX (or summarize)
Saldo:=SUMX(
VALUES('Date'[Date])
,CALCULATE(
SUM(Fact[Amount])
,DATESBETWEEN('Date'[Date],BLANK(),LASTDATE('Date'[Date]))
,ALL('Date')
The issue arises when I want to show the balance for an attribute from a dimension related to the latest fact entry. I can calculate this on dates that has transactions like this:
Saldo_MaxFact:=MAXX(
VALUES('Fact'[FactId])
,CALCULATE(
SUM(Fact[Amount])
,DATESBETWEEN('Date'[Date],BLANK(),LASTDATE('Date'[Date]))
,ALL('Date')
,ALL('Fact'[FactId])
,ALL('Dimension')
But on dates with no transactions, this measure is empty (which makes sense, since there is no FactId to roll-up the sum to).
How would I go about creating a measure that rolls up to any given date AND the attributes on the latest fact entry?
I have created a sample snapshot: http://1drv.ms/1ly4o6a
Sample Excel Power Pivot model: http://1drv.ms/1jy2nkX
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Greg,
Finally I found the problem why the query goes out of memory in tabular mode. I guess this information will helpful for others and I am posting my findings.
Some of the non-key attribute columns in the tabular model tables (mainly the tables which form dimensions) do not contain pretty names. So for the non-key attribute columns which I need to provide pretty names I renamed the columns to something else.
For an example, in my date dimension there is a non-key attribute named “DateAltKey”. This is the date column which I am using. As this is not pretty to the client tools I renamed this column as “Date” inside the designer (Dimension
design screen). I deployed the cube, processed the cube and no problem.
Now here comes the fun part. For every table, inside the Tables node (Tabular SSAS Database > Tables) you can view the partition details. You have single partition per dimension table if you do not create extra partitions. I opened the partitions screen
and clicked on the “Edit” icon and performed a Syntax Check. Surprisingly it failed. It complains about the renamed column. It complained “Date” cannot be found in source. So I realized that I cannot simply rename the columns like that.
After that I created calculated columns (with a pretty name) for all the columns which complained and all the source columns to the calculated columns were hid from the client tools. I deployed the cube, processed the cube and performed a
syntax check. No errors and everything were perfect.
I ran the query which gave me trouble and guess what... it executed within 5 seconds. My problem is solved. I really do not know who did this improve the performance but the trick worked for me.
Thanks a lot for your support.

Smartview Member & alias display issue

Hi All,
i am having trouble i have 3 environments and when i pull ad hoc report from each environment in two i can see both Member name option as well as member & alias name option but in my Dev environment i am not seeing member & alias option, can some one please help me with this?
really appericiate any suggestions.
Thanks,

In order to see the meber name and alias, APS and Essbase have to be patched to at least 11.1.2.1.102 and should be patched to the same level that your production system is at. If they are not at least at the level, you will not be able to see the member name and alias as an option

List of avaliable MDX properties / Always show member name instead of alias

Hi all,
does anyone know if there is a list of ALL available MDX properties which can be used in an MDX query with Essbase?
There is a very small list in the technical documentation (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_techref/mdx_properties.htm), however I know there are a lot more properties.
E.g. one property which is not documented is ANCESTOR_NAMES:
WITH MEMBER [Year].[dummy] AS '0', SOLVE_ORDER = 0
SELECT {[Year].[dummy]} on columns,
[Account].Members properties ANCESTOR_NAMES on rows
FROM [App.Db];
Anyone knows if there is such a list?
And another question:
The Query always brings up the alias of the members (e.g. [Account].Members). Is there a way that per default the member name instead of the alias is used? Without using the MEMBER_NAME property?
Essbase version: 11.1.1.3
Thanks

However, e.g. the porperty PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME does not work. Also the Book MDX solutions has a list with it with e.g. PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME specified which does not work...
Anyone an idea how to get a list of all properties valid with MDX using Essbase?

Member Alias versus Member names

Hi I have a form in 9.2 for which in the Page Section, I have 4 dimensions selected. The properties for the 4 dimensions is set to display alias names. One of the dimensions does not have an alias name and it displays the member name instead.
After migrating the form to 9.3.1, I have not changed the member properties for the forms and this time the dimension-wihout-the-alias-name displays 'Null' since there isnt an alias name for the member.
Is this a feature change in 9.3.1? or is it a setting I have forgotten to modify?
Thanks and Regards
Kunal

Hi,
9.3.1 does have the same functionality. If there is no alias available you should be seeing member names on forms.
There might have been something wrong during migration. Though, even if so, it is still strange you seeing "null" on forms.
Have you tried changing the property to show names, save and re-set back to alias and save again?
Also, you better make sure that you've applied the latest patches for all 9.3.1 modules.
Cheers,
Alp

Hiding a member + Alias

How do I insert a member in a row yet hide both name AND alias? I basicly want a row of empty cells beneath the other members, yet I want them to aggregate properly. Basicly
a member to exist with no alias or member.
I've tried the following: Untick the display "Member Name." box and ticking only alias. This didn't work because with the lack of any alias, Hyperion immediately gives out its original name.
I've also tried creating a different alias table aside from the default one.

Hey Anthony!
I believe you misunderstood, though maybe I'm not good at describing the situation! :P
Ok. Let me try again. See, Anthony, on the excel sheet that I'm trying to sort of replicate, I have accounts(if you will) that aggregate to a total, yes?
So for example, if I have say, pens, pencils,erasers and pencil sharpeners, they traditionally total up under a member we'd call stationary. Instead of that, I want them to total up
in cells below them where you do not see the member name. You get it?
Please tell me if you do not, because I might be able to post a screenshot of the excel sheet.
