Sorting query in MDX query filter in PPS

Hi,
Iam new to the PPS world. Iam using MDX query filter and I need to create a filter field using the [BusinessLine].[Department] dimension. I need to sort the display value of Department in descending order in the filter and Iam using the following
Order([BusinessLine].[Department],[BusinessLine].[Department],DESC) in the query window while creating the filter. But Iam getting 'No value found'! result.
Please let me know Iam doing any mistake in this

Hi Umair,
Thanks for the reply
The department here is Attribute and BusinessLine is dimension in my cube.For other requirement(the department has to be sorted based on the creation date attribute) purpose I have kept department as composite key with other attribute called CREATE_DATE
with named column as department
Order (
[BuisnessLine].[Department].[DEPARTMENT],
[BusinessLine].[CREATE_DATE].Properties("Name"),
DESC
Iam just replacing the above query as it is in the Enter MDX formul? page
Is it correct.

SAP BW BEx query - WEBi MDX query

Hi Experts, have we had some discussion on this?
Does MDX query send by WEBi report to BW use the same program to extract data from BW database?
One of the option for WEBi report source of data is to build Universe on top of BEx query. Could you share how this process actually happen.
I think
- WEBi query will pass parameters that is relevant for BEx query filter of the universe
- the BEx query will then extract the data (following normal process if we run BEx query independently)
- if WEBi has further filtering, it will then get the BEx result above and filter it further ..??
So, how is MDX query come into the picture?
Or is it:
- WEBi query and the BEx query will determine what MDX query will be generated, and this MDX query will then fetch the data.
But why BEx query extract data faster then MDX query?
Sorry, i am new to this. hope someone could share some light here. In the meantime i continue to real those documentation and try to get some more ideas of what is actually happening.
Thanks.

Hi Thanks a lot for pointing this out.
Did i understand it correctly that BEx query is using a different set of program (platform) to retrieve data compare to MDX query, and not MDX uses those program that is used by BEx to retrieve data from BW database and have extra steps on top of that?
Can anyone share what is actually happen WEBi MDX query is executed (how the database is hit with SQL, and what are the tools to evaluate the efficiency of the WEBi (or the used BEx). As for BEx we have RSRT to analyze it right.
And even to test the MDX query using MDXTEST and try to get the data from WEBi report, i found WEBi report still take considerably a lot longer. Why is this so? just because BO is a different system then BW?
And as it's shared the BO 4.0 is using the same platform as BEx to retrieve data from BW database, does this mean we don't need to care about MDX usage in BW anymore as far as BO data extraction concern?
Thank you very much.

Filters not getting passed in MDX query while using SAP BW with OBIEE

Hello,
I've been working on OBIEE with SAP BW as back-end. I've created some reports & those are working fine when there is less amount of data. But when I try to run a report with 3 dimensions & 1 fact it throws an error saying "No more storage space available for extending an internal table". When I checked MDX query, I found that the filters that I had applied to request & also selected from prompts are not getting passed in that query. So, I tried running a simple request using a simple filter in Answers. Although this request returns results but I can't see filter conditions in query. MDX query always show crossjoin but I can't see filter conditions anywhere.
Is it the normal OBIEE behaviour OR am I doing something wrong in there? Can you please help me out with this?
Thanks,
Rocky

Hello Sainath,
We tried those things. But it is still giving same error.
State: HY00. Code: 10058. [NQODBC][SQL_STATE:HY000][nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. XML/A error returned from the server: Fault code: "XMLAnalysisError.0X80000005". Fault string: "The XML for Analysis provider encountered an error: MDX result contains too many cells (more than 1 million)". (HY000)
The problem here, I think, is the filter parameters are not getting passed in the MDX query. Any idea why would that happen? Is there any setting to do so?
Thanks in advance for help.

How can ew add filter in Dataset of MDX Query

Hi,
I am working on TFS 2010 Report with Report Builder 3.0
I need to fetch data on basis of Start Task Date(means when user start their task).
So i have added a new field in a TFS Work Item Template with name StartTaskDate.
Now i need to fetch the report FromTaskDate to TOTaskDate(Date Range Filter).
so how can we do this with filter option?
Can any body help me on this.
Thanks

Hi rohitnegi09,
If you want @FromTaskDate and @TOTaskDate parameters are Date/Time data types, please refer to my last reply in the following thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/db75abb9-2250-463a-8ef3-70426f617329/mdx-report-on-date-range?forum=sqlreportingservices
If you want @FromTaskDate and @TOTaskDate parameters are Text data types, we can directly type the following MDX query in the dataset:
select
{[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
} on columns,
{[Date].[Date].members} on rows
from(
select
STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Date].&["+@FromTaskDate+"]"):STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Date].&["+@ToTaskDate+"]")
) on columns

Filter issue in MDX query leaving some values empty!

Hi all,
In short: I have a report with multiple values such as name of shop, postal code etc. The parameters have no default value and act as "like". If someone enters "krant" he'll get all the shop names that contain "krant" in their
name etc.
Same goes for postal code, if someone enters 2550 he'll get all data for 2550. The problem although is that if a user start with postal code as parameters and leaves the shop name empty, the shop name is not shown in my report! The other way around it works,
when I enter shop name i'll get all shops + postal code in my report.
I know this is because POS name cannot be shown in report because it's left blank, but I want my MDX query to be able to give me the POS names even if I only enter postal code.
Can someone please please look at my query below? I need to add 4 more parameters this way later on too!
SELECT
[Measures].[Sales amount]
ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY

[Point of sale].[POS name].AllMembers,

MDX query to retrieve Leaves sorted by attribute bypassing the parent order

Hi there,
I have a Dimension with a hierarchy as:
Country -> Area -> Location
Location is sorted based on a Attribute called Rank based on a column in the dimension table that has a predefined value per location. In short, Location attribute has the property OrderByAttribute set to Rank.
When I used Location attribute directly on the reports it is correctly displayed sorted by Rank.
I am building some dashboards in Performance Point, and the problem I have is that I have to used the Hierarchy above to pull the Locations into the row axis of a Scorecard and the Locations are shorted by Rank but taking into account the Area in which they
are:
So using the Hierarchy I am getting:
Location1
Location2
Location3
Location4
When I would like to get:
Location3
Location1
Location4
Location2
I know that this is correct when thinking on the Hierachy structure, but as I am forced to display the Locations from the Hierarchy but sorted purely by their Rank, I would need a MDX query that returns the Leaves (Location) of the hierarchy order by Rank
without taking into account the area.
Could anyone help me with that?
Thanks and best regards,
Joss

You could write a query something like this:
SELECT {MEASURES.MYMEASURE} ON 0,
ORDER([MYDIMENSION].[MYHIERARCHY].[LOCATION].MEMBERS, [MYDIMENSION].[MYHIERARCHY].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("Rank", TYPED), BDESC) ON 1
FROM MYCUBE

Need help in MDX query

Hi All
I am new to MDX language and need a MDX functions/query on the cube to get the required output, Given below is the scenario with the data.
I am maintaining the data in a table in dataMart with given structure. We have the data at day and weekly in a single table with granularity indicator and count is the measure group column. While loading the data in to mart table we are populaiting the week
Key from week table and Month key from month table and joining in the cube.
we need to calculate the inventory for a particular month. If a user selects a particular month the output would be count = 30 as a measure called Closed and count = 16 as a measure value called Open.

Hi Venkatesh,
According to your description, you need to count the members with conditions in a particular month, right?
In MDX, we can achieve the requirement by using Count and Filter function, I have tested it on AdventureWorks cube, the sample query below is for you reference.
with member [ConditionalCount]
as
count(filter([Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2008]&[2].children,[Measures].[Internet Order Count]>50))
select {[Measures].[Internet Order Count],[ConditionalCount]} on 0,
[Date].[Calendar].[Date].members on 1
from
(select [Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2008]&[2] on 0 from
[Adventure Works]
Reference
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144823.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms146037.aspx
If this is not what you want, please elaborate your requirement, such as the detail structure of your cube, so that we can make further analysis.

SSRS report with tabular model – MDX query CoalesceEmpty function does not return the provided string value

Hello everyone,
I created following calculated member in MDX query. I am using it in one of the report parameter in dataset (single select dropdown list as report parameter).
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS
CoalesceEmpty([Customer].[National Account Code].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION,'None')
I would like to display 'None' text at the top of the dropdown list values. So that when user selects 'None' then this parameter will not considered in MDX query else the selected National Account Code will be considered to filter report data. But,
the above return blank/empty value for [Customer].[National Account Code].& member though I specified 'None' as text in CoalesceEmpty function. Any advice would be appreciated.

When using TODATE function MDX query is not correctly generated

Essbase 9.3.1.2 and OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1.
When using TODATE function MDX query is not correctly generated.
This leads to unexpected values not only on cumulative columns in report (generated with TODATE), but also other columns (calculated with AGO function or directly read from cube) have incorrect values.
The problem occurs when you filter on a column that is not in the select list. If you filter on just one level of dimension, results are fine. You can filter on multiple dimensions as long as you filter on just one level of each dimension.
If you filter on two or more levels of one dimension, than results are not correct. In some cases results for TODATE column are all zeros, in some cases it is a random value returned by Essbase (same random value for all rows of that column), and in some cases BI Server returns an error:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. Essbase Error: Network error [10054]: Cannot Send Data (HY000).
Here is generated MDX code:
With
set [Grupe proizvoda2] as '{[Grupe proizvoda].[N4]}'
set [Grupe proizvoda4] as 'Generate([Grupe proizvoda2], Descendants([Grupe proizvoda].currentmember, [Grupe proizvoda].Generations(4), leaves))'
set [Segmentacija2] as '{[Segmentacija].[RETAIL]}'
set [Segmentacija4] as 'Filter(Generate({[Segmentacija2]}, Descendants([Segmentacija].currentmember, [Segmentacija].Generations(4),SELF), ALL), ([Segmentacija].CurrentMember IS [Segmentacija].[AFFLUENT]))'
set [Vrijeme3] as '{[Vrijeme].[MJESEC_4_2009]}'
member [Segmentacija].[SegmentacijaCustomGroup]as 'Sum([Segmentacija4])', SOLVE_ORDER = AGGREGATION_SOLVEORDER
member [Accounts].[MS1] as '(ParallelPeriod([Vrijeme].[Gen3,Vrijeme],2,[Vrijeme].currentmember), [Accounts].[Trosak kapitala])'
member [Accounts].[MS2] as '(ParallelPeriod([Vrijeme].[Gen3,Vrijeme],1,[Vrijeme].currentmember), [Accounts].[Trosak kapitala])'
member [Accounts].[MS3] as 'AGGREGATE({PeriodsToDate([Vrijeme].[Gen2,Vrijeme],[Vrijeme].currentmember)}, [Accounts].[Trosak kapitala])'
select
{ [Accounts].[Trosak kapitala],
[Accounts].[MS1],
[Accounts].[MS2],
[Accounts].[MS3]
} on columns,
NON EMPTY {crossjoin ({[Grupe proizvoda4]},{[Vrijeme3]})} properties ANCESTOR_NAMES, GEN_NUMBER on rows
from [NISE.NISE]
where ([Segmentacija].[SegmentacijaCustomGroup])
If you remove part with TODATE function, the results are fine. If you leave TODATE function, OBIEE returns an error mentioned above. If you manually modify variable SOLVE_ORDER and set value to, for example, 100 instead of AGGREGATION_SOLVEORDER, results are OK.
In all cases when this variable was modified in generated MDX, and query manually executed on Essabse, results were OK. This variable seems to be the possible problem.

SSAS Tabular : MDX query goes OutOfMemory for a larger dataset

Hello all,
I am using SSAS 2012 Tabular to build the cube to support the organizational reporting requirements. Right now the server is Windows 2008 x64 with 16GB of Ram installed. I have the following MDX query. What this query does is get the member caption of the
“OrderGroupNumber” non-key attribute as a measure where order group numbers pertain to a specific day and which occurs in specific seconds of a day. As I want to find in which second I have order group numbers, I cross the time dimension’s members with a specific
day and filter the tuples using the transaction count. The transaction count is a non-zero value if an Order Group Number occurs within a specific second of a selected day.
At present “TransactionsInflight].[OrderGroupNumber].[OrderGroupNumber]” has 170+ million members (Potentially this could grow rapidly) and time dimension has 86400 members.
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[OrderGroupNumber]
AS IIF([Measures].[Transaction Count] > 0, [TransactionsInflight].[OrderGroupNumber].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION,
NULL)
SELECT
NON EMPTY{[TransactionsInflight].[OrderGroupNumber].[OrderGroupNumber].MEMBERS}
ON COLUMNS,
{FILTER(([Date].[Calendar Hierarchy].[Date].&[2012-07-05T00:00:00], [Time].[Time].[Time].MEMBERS),
[Measures].[Transaction Count] > 0) } ON
ROWS
FROM [OrgDataCube]
WHERE [Measures].[OrderGroupNumber]
After I run this query it reaches to a dead-end and freezes the server (Sometimes SSAS server throws OutOfMemory exception but sometimes it does not). Even though I have 16GB of memory it uses all the memory and doing nothing. I have to do a hard-reset against
the server to get the server online. Even I limit the time members using the “:” range operator still the machine freeze. I have run out of solutions to fine-tune the design. Could you guys provide me some guidelines to optimize this query? I am willing to
do a design change if it is necessary.
Thanks and best regards,
Chandima

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.

I want to filter my cube with three parameters
1. @CacheAttendeesConferenceId
2. @FromCacheAttendeesInsertTimeStamp
3. @ToCacheAttendeesInsertTimeStamp
When i pass following parameters
ConferenceId = 1, StartDate='2010-01-28T00:00:00', EndDate='2010-02-03T00:00:00'
Then it show records
But When i pass following parameters
ConferenceId = 1, StartDate='2010-01-27T00:00:00', EndDate='2010-02-03T00:00:00'
Then it display message No Data Available
PLease help me on this issue why not FromDate & ToDate range works properly.

Step1:- First i create a SSAS datasource. Then i create a cube for my table CacheAttendees.
It has following columns:-
[Cache Attendees].[Conference Id]
[Cache Attendees].[Group Date Count]
[Cache Attendees].[Insert Time Stamp]
[Cache Attendees].[Screen Name]
[Cache Attendees].[User Id]
[Cache Attendees].[User Type Id]
[Cache Attendees].[User Type Name]
[Cache Attendees].[Visit Id]
Step2:- Then i create a dimension with this cube with all columns.
Step3:- Then i deploy my SSAS project.
Step4:- Use SSAS datasource in my SSRS datasource.
Step5:- Create a report with chart control. Add a parameter ConferenceId. Set default to 1. When i preview my report then it show Cache Attendees].[Conference Id].[1] in header of report instead of that, When i pass the parameter value as 1 then report cannot show & throw an error. I want to pass this parameter at runtime.
Step6:- Please help me how is it possible to pass parameter at runtime.

Date parameters using MDX query

Hello experts,
Not sure if this question falls under SSAS or SSRS but I'm writing it here for now and hopefully get the answer.
I'm using SSAS cube to develop a report using SSRS and this is the first time I'm doing it. I want to filter records based on date range and did some research online. My report contains two datasets:
1. dsMain dataset -> it contains all the field which I want to use in the report and added a parameter thru query designed with following settings:
Dimension : Dates
Hierachary : Date
Operator : Range (Inclusive)
Parameters : checked
it created two parameters called FromDatesDate and toDatesDate
2. I created another dataset called dsDate and wrote a custom query (found at following link) and changed FromDatesDate and ToDatesDate using this date dataset
https://jsimonbi.wordpress.com/2011/03/22/using-a-date-parameter-in-ssrs-with-mdx/
Query for dsDate
WITH
MEMBER DateValue
AS
[Dates].[Date].CurrentMember.UniqueName
MEMBER DateLabel
AS
[Dates].[Date].CurrentMember.Name
SELECT
[Measures].[DateValue],
[Measures].[DateLabel]
} ON 0,
[Dates].[Date].[Date]
} ON 1
FROM [myCube]
Here is the value returned by dsDate dataset (above query)
DateValue DateLabel
06/04/1980 [Dates].[Date].&[29375]
06/04/1980
06/05/1980 [Dates].[Date].&[29376]
06/05/1980
06/06/1980 [Dates].[Date].&[29377]
06/06/1980
06/07/1980 [Dates].[Date].&[29378]
06/07/1980
06/08/1980 [Dates].[Date].&[29379]
06/08/1980
06/09/1980 [Dates].[Date].&[29380]
06/09/1980
06/10/1980 [Dates].[Date].&[29381]
06/10/1980
06/11/1980 [Dates].[Date].&[29382]
06/11/1980
06/12/1980 [Dates].[Date].&[29383]
06/12/1980
06/13/1980 [Dates].[Date].&[29384]
06/13/1980
Here is what I changed in FromDatesDate and ToDatesDate parmeter:
Under Available Values tab:
Dataset : dsDate
Value Field : DateValue
Label Field : DateLabel
Here are my questions:
1. I want to use date/time parameter so that user doesn't have to scroll thru whole date dimension.
2. I changed the FromDatesDate and ToDatesDate to date/time parameter, removed the values from Available values tab and made the following changes on Parmaeters expression under dsMain dataset
=”[Dates].[Date].&[” + Format(CDate(Parameters!FromDatesDate.Value),”MM/dd/yyyy”)
+ “T00:00:00]”
=”[Dates].[Date].&[” + Format(CDate(Parameters!ToDatesDate.Value),”MM/dd/yyyy”)
+ “T00:00:00]”
Now when I run the report I get following error:
Query (1, 55) The restrictions imposed by the CONSTRAINED flag in the STRTOMEMBER function are violated.
I think the reason is by changing parameter to date/time, now I cannot get "DateValue" which is required for the query.
1. What is the best way to work with date parameters?
Hope it is all clear and look forward to hear from experts.
Thanks,

Hi Parry2k,
In Analysis Services, a member can be referenced by either its member name or by its member key. The member key is used by the dimension to specifically identify a given member. The ampersand (&) character is used in MDX to differentiate
a member key from a member name. In this scenario, the datetime is member name, not the member key. So you should not add "&".

Except function with parent child hierarchy using mdx query

HI,
I need to remove some items using mdx query in parent child hierarchy.
I tried with below query,it is not removeing ,could you please help me.
SELECT
{[Measures].[Amount]} ON
COLUMNS
NonEmpty([Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 01],[Measures].[Amount])
ON ROWS
FROM (SELECT
-Descendants({[Account].[Accounts].&[47]},,Leaves)
} ON COLUMNS
FROM [Adventure Works])
indu

Hi Indu,
Why do you remove some itmes using
Descendants function? Generally, we use FILTER function to achieve the requirement.
WITH SET [CustomAccounts] AS
FILTER ([Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 01].Members , [Account].[Accounts].CurrentMember.Name<>'Net Income')
SELECT {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} ON 0
[CustomAccounts] ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works]
WITH SET [CustomAccounts] AS
FILTER ([Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 01].Members , [Account].[Accounts].CurrentMember.Name='Net Income')
SET [RemainingAccount] AS
[Account].[Accounts].[Account Level 01]- [CustomAccounts]
SELECT {[Measures].[Reseller Sales Amount]} ON 0
[RemainingAccount] ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works]
Results.

Hi,
That API has restrictions on its usage. Please see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/apex_util.htm#CHDICGDA
The lines to be referred to are Also, this method requires that the parameters that describe the BLOB to be listed as the format of a valid item within the application. That item is then referenced by the function.Regards,
PS: Your report must be on Page 98 , so it is able to reference the item P98_NAV_IMAGE. List being a Shared Component it may not be able reference that Item.

OBIEE Evaluate - "Essbase error : Repeated dimension in MDX query"

Hi,
I'm using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 on top of Essbase.
I have a project dimension in Essbase with three levels - Total Project -> Project Class -> Project. I have created a new logical column in OBIEE to query two levels from project dimension, using evaluate function as below:
Evaluate('%1.Members, %2.Members', "Oracle Hyperion Planning"."ASOCUBE".""."Planning"."Gen2,Project" , "Oracle Hyperion Planning"."ASOCUBE".""."Planning"."Gen4,Project" ).
The above column when used in analysis, works fine, returning "Total Project" and all the projects. It breaks however when any filter is applied on project dimension with the following error:
"[nQSError: 96002] Essbase Error: Repeated dimension [Project] in MDX query".
I donot have any MDX skills and would appreciate if anyone can explain this error and provide any workaround for this. Here's the MDX that fails:
With
set [_Project0] as '{[Project].Generations(2).Members, [Project].Generations(4).Members }'
select
{} on columns,
{{[_Project0]}} properties GEN_NUMBER on rows
from [ASOCUBE.Planning]
where ([Project].[1000000-Treatment Plant])
Many Thanks

This issue regarding BIEE
because MDX is wrong
With
set [_Project0] as '{[Project].Generations(2).Members, [Project].Generations(4).Members }'
select
{} on columns,
{{[_Project0]}} properties GEN_NUMBER on rows
from [ASOCUBE.Planning]
where ([Project].[1000000-Treatment Plant])

Sorting query in MDX query filter in PPS
