SSAS Dimension Display - question

Hi Guys
I hope someone can help me. I will try my best to describe what I am looking to do.
I have created a cube that my users view via MS Excel.
I have a number of dimensions that contain only one element. For example I have a dimension for Country, Department and Year. Each of these dimensions hold one element each.
This looks kind of messy, and I would like to improve on how this looks.
I would like the pivot in MS Excel to only show one dimension group that contains all the above mentioned dimension.
To help describe this further I have used a similar feature in the fact section by using 'display folder'. This allowed me to group all related elements in to a single folder.
Unfortunately in the dimension section it creates a new structure for each dimension, and because I have a large number of them it makes the pivot look overly complex and less easy on the eye. Not to mention making it time consuming to access the data elements
when using the system.
Can anyone suggest a way I can simplify the look and feel of the dimensions?
I can provide a couple of graphics to help describe this further.
Kindest regards,
Joe

Joe,
I think you could put those members within a "junk" dimension. Doing this will have them contained within one dimension. It looks much better within excel if they make sense within a group. They must have low carnality, which sounded like your example.

Hope this helps

Double Quotes Display Question Marks

I have some data in a tabe that is rendered as some read only output in my JHS app. This works fine in JDeveloper on Linux and JDeveloper as well as deployed on Windows. However in the version that is deployed on Red Hat the double quotes are not displaying correctly and instead display question marks in their place. The import of the database schema worked and the data is in fact double quotes. Wondering what setting I can change that makes this server treat the same data as the other environments?

Hi,
This sounds like a JDeveloper/ADF issue that is not related to JHeadstart. Can you please ask this question at the JDeveloper forum at JDeveloper and ADF ? Thanks!

Filtering Parent-Child Hierarchy in SSAS Dimension

Hello,
I have a parent child hierarchy in ssas dimension. Parents level can be vary. As an example, I have 4 levels and parent may exist in level 1, level 2 or level 3.
What I need to do is filter those parents using one of the attributes in that dimension. I can't do it as normal, because once I apply a filter to parents, that will be affected to its children as well.
what normally happens
Parent1(attribute=true) - > Child 1(attribute=true) -> Child 2 (attribute=true)
Parent 2(attribute=true) -> Child 3 (attribute=true)
what I need
Parent1(attribute=true) - > Child 1 -> Child 2
Parent 2(attribute=true) -> Child 3
How can I achieve this?

Finally descendant function worked for me. I had to filter necessary properties first.
WITH SET ParentCodes AS (
Descendants(
FILTER(
[DimX].[Code].members,
[DimX].[Code Parent].currentmember.Properties("Area")
= "Northern"),,
SELF)
SELECT
{[Measures].[TotalAmount]} ON 0,
{ParentCodes } ON 1
FROM [Cube]
Hope this helps

24" display questions

Hi, im close to placing an order for a mini (I use a 24" Imac in work) and want a 24" display for my work at home.
I have seen 2 possible displays Dell 2408 (16:10, 1920 x 1200) and the dell 2409 (16:9, 1920 x 1080).
My questions are:
1. can the I mac support these pixel dimensions 'natively'? so that I dont get any distortion/squashing etc?
2. can it support 24" at all, as the spec on the apple store says 22 & 23" monitors are to be used - in which case would I be better off with one that size?
Thanks
Ger

The Intel Mini supports 1920 x 1200 natively. That's what I'm running on my 24" Samsung SyncMaster 245bw.
The actual size in inches doesn't matter: it's the pixel dimensions that count.

File import questions and folder display questions

I am running LR3 on Win 7 x64. I have a few questions.
I have a hard drive assigned to drive letter "B:\" Why doesn't the file imported see this drive in the list of drives? I have to use the "other drives" and browse every time that I want to add files from this disk. Other drives, including networked drives are fine.
When importing from a main folder and including subfolders, is there a way to filter files in any manner? I never want to import web galleries that I have made in bridge, for example. These files have very small JPG files, thumbnails and web images. Is there a way to exclude them form consideration whilst importing? Is there a way to reveal and show the thumbnails with the folder structure? I don't want to have to browse to every folder individually when I am trying to import all useful images from an entire disk. If LR would at least show the folder structure of the subfolders when you select photos from a top level folder, this would help. How can I do this?
In the library view of folders, how I filter on all files in one disk? I can select a folder under the disk and see just that folder, but LR will not allow me to select the entire disk. Is there a way to do this?
How can I display the entire folder structure in the laibrary panel? Some folders are not showing their top level folders that they are inside of. How do I reveal this information?
In the library module, how can I filter on file dimensions? I thought that I had seen this, but I can no longer find this. Sorting by file dimensions would also be an option to accomplish what I am trying to do. I need to delete all thumbnail images and tiny images from the catalog. Is there an easy way to do this?

No, because you don't import a whole disk, you only import images. And the toplevel disk bar you see there is the disk where the top level folder is stored, not the entire disk.
Let me make this clear. When I want to view an entire disk, I am only wanting to select images that I have already imported, not the entire disk including images that I have NOT imported.
I am not sure if you dont understand what I am saying or what. If you have folders of images inside a top level folder, you can easily select the top folder to see all subfolders that you have imported. Why can't I select the disk as the top level folder to see all of the images that I have imported on that disk?
I have a cattelog that has images from 8 different disks. I use removable drive bays so all 8 disks are not available at any given time. I just want the ability to select all images that I have imported on a disk, just like you can do at the folder level. I am at a loss as to why this is a problem.
My point about bridge was that LR is a far superior program for organizing images due to its database. But LR is lacking in some features that could have easily been put into it. If bridge can do the type of filtering that it does without a good database engine, then certainly LR could and should do it. In no way do I want to use Bridge to manage cattelogs with 150,000 images. That would be insane. I have no issue with the fact that you have to import your images first to use LR. It has to be this way to work with the database. My issue is that the filtering is not nearly as comprehensive as bridge.
I dont need help with my workflow. Back when I shot many of the images that I am importing now into LR, there was no lightroom. My workflow was much different back then than it is now. My comments were that I assumed that LR could do things that it cannot, not that I needed help with my current workflow. Much of the issues that I have now with LR are due to the old workflow and trying to import only the raw images.

SSAS Tabular 2014 - Questions on Tabular Mode

Hi,
I'm starting to move around into Tabular Mode and I have some questions:
1 - I am hiding surrogate keys using "Hide from client tools" option. Does this hide columns consume memory?
2 - Suposing I have a dimensions with 2 fields, code and description. If I want to have a field that concatenates code and descriptions, does it perform worse creating it on SSAS? What is the recommendation?
Thank you

Hidden columns still consume memory and can be queried with custom queries. You just don't see them in the field list in client tools like Excel. As far as concatenating fields they will compress a little better if you do the concatenation in SQL but it
likely doesn't matter much.

Korean Language Display Question

Hi everyone,
Here's a curious question I have for anyone else here that can read/write korean.
I have this one song by the artist Seven (Se7en) with the english title of the song "Holding Flowers." I have the song title input into Korean characters on iTunes, and it comes out fine there. For some reason, the first character ("flower") is missing from the title.
It's a problem I've had, not only on my Nano, but also my 3rd gen iPod. Just wondering, is the OS simply not able to display some characters, or is there a way around it?
Thanks!

I

iTunes, and it comes out fine there. For some reason,
the first character ("flower") is missing from the
title.
In iTunes or only in the iPod? Is that the only character this is happening to? Is it hangul or hanja? If the latter it may well be that not every character is available in the font installed on the iPod.

Probably the mother of all stupid display questions...

I just bought a Gateway 22" widescreen for my PowerMac. Max resolution is 1680 by 1050 which is the default the Mac set it to (DVI connection btw). I was messing around playing UT2004 with this new display. My question is this...would the display or increase in the resolution somehow AFFECT actual gameplay? Specifically I noticed that once in a while, my character will stop moving forward, I have to let off on the key and press it down again to get my character moving again. I only noticed this AFTER upgrading my display, I used to have a Samsung 17" LCD display. BTW, my keyboard is a MIcrosoft Wireless Mac desktop. Like I said, didn't have problems until the display was upgraded. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?
Cliff Notes: upgraded display to 22" Widescreen, Graphics cart is a Radeon X800 XT, try to play UT2004, character stops moving forward intermittently. Didn't have problem before...any relation? Thanks.

There should only be issues if you have also increased the resolution in the game itself (because the graphics chip has to work harder). Are you able to check (or lower) the resolution within the game?

Display Questions with Retina and VMware Fusion (Windows 7/8)

Looking to buy my first MacBook Pro and looking to make sure I get the specs I need and have a couple of questions.
I would like to be able to run (simultaenously)
During the day for work:
Windows 7 x64 - 30GB HD - 1 Core - 1GB Ram - Purpose: Has a VPN client that allows me to VPN and RDP only
Windows 8.1 x64 - 60GB HD - 2 Cores - 4GB+ Ram - Purpose: Office 2013 installed on this VM and all my other work applicatons (light weight)
OSX 10.10 - Whatever it can take - Light Web Browsing etc while at work.
After work:
Guess it doesn't matter really - i'd like to play games (bootcamp fine) if possible too. Nothing crazy so barely worth mentioning.
My main questions:
Display: Iris Pro or nVidia - Can the base 15 inch GPU/CPU handle the two VMs at the same time plus the host OS (OSX) without hiccups?
Display: How does VMware Fusion recognize the discrete GPU - will the system be smooth/quiet without activating it?
Battery life: Virtualization is pretty heavy battery wise. Does anyone know what happens to the battery when you're running a couple VMs?
Display: How is running Windows 7/8 on a MacBook with a specifically retina display? Do the Windows PCs look really ugly/blurry due to such a high resolution?
What is the minimum hardware required for these VMs to run fast and responsive? (CPU/GPU/RAM only)
Thanks!!

Sorry - we're users here, just like you, and some questions just get lost sometimes.
The fastest hardware you can buy, the easier you'll be able to run Windows. If you use Boot Camp to run Windows (7, 8 or 8.1) the machine will run at it's best. If you want to run Windows alongside the Mac OS, you'll need to use a VM application (I use Parallels - I've tried VMwareFusion but like Parallels better and it just works best for me).
So, to your questions:
The Retina machine with the NVIDIA GPU will be the fastest - it's a faster processor and has more VRAM.
Any VM is going to use resources - how much RAM, for example, is up to you. I have 16 GB of RAM and 8GB dedicated to Parallels/Windows 7 Pro.
I wouldn't (and you really can't) run a VM for very long on battery. If you're using VM's, that's the time to plug into mains. Running a 'couple' of VM would put further heavy use on your GPU, CPU and shorten your battery life.
I would make sure to get a good, fast quad-core i7 processor, the 2GB of VRAM NVIDIA GPU and the maximum amount of RAM (16GB).
Good luck,
Clinton

Bootcamp Windows 7 Sleep Display question?

Hey guys,
I have a 27" iMac running Boot Camp with both Mac OS X Mountain Lion and Windows 7 Ultimate.
When I'm in Windows, is there a way that I can turn off the display? Currently if I press the power button on the back of the machine it automatically shuts down Windows. Is there a way I can configure it so that it only turns off the display as opposed to the hard drive and everything else? Or is there another/better way of accomplishing this? Or any other way to turn off the display only?
Thanks!

I have same questions, but in Windows 8. And my timer for Dim and Display off are not functioning properly.

Mac Pro 1,1 3 display question

I have a 1,1 Mac Pro with the ATI 5770. I currently am running a 30 inch cinema display on the DVI output and a 19 inch LCD on one of the mini ports using the following adapter:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004071ZXA
I was curious,since these 19 inch monitors are 1280X1024 if I could possibly run 2 using the mini ports with these adapters? I read that dual link DVI adapters are required,but what if the 2 displays are smaller like these?

Mini DisplayPort is not just a different-shaped DVI. It is a completely different protocol. To use all three ports, you will need to take drastic measures and install "active" "powered" converters on BOTH Mini DisplayPorts. The adapter you referenced is NOT such a converter.

Image files with large pixel dimensions display out of focus in a Bridge viewer?

I Create image files with pixel dimensions 2048x1365. When I display these files from Bridge on my Mac, either by pressing the space bar or in a slideshow, the images are out of focus. If I left click or click/hold and move the images slightly on screen they display in sharp focus. Unfortunately, although landscape-orientation images display correctly with no change in position or size, portrait-orientation files are enlarged and display with top and bottom off the screen. The pixel dimensions of my monitor are 2450x1600 so, yes, if portrait images are displayed at 100% they should display off screen, but this does not excuse the out of focus display of landscape files on this large screen. Nor does this explain why the portrait files are out of focus when they fit on screen. When the same files open in a Camera Raw window they are in focus. When they open in Photoshop at 100% the files are in focus.

PDF displays question mark font

I'm trying to study for an exam, but am having trouble viewing certain PDF files. It displays a box-enclosed question mark font. Up till a few days ago, I could read them just fine, but then I ran Onyx and since then I get the weird font. I've tried opening in Preview, Adobe reader, Skim, and in my browsers and they all do this. Can someone please help me out? Thanks

Hello belgremoo, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Sounds like a munged Font or Font Cache.
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go. Reboot when all done, it clears Font Caches as well.
Start with Font Book in Applications, Validate Fonts first, if that doesn't fix it then move all your new fonts to a different set & leave only these in the Main set...

Please Help! 20" Cinema Display question

hi all,
hopefully someone can help me out with this...
i desperately need the dimensions for a 20" cinema display WITHOUT the stand... the company i work for is doing a small AV install and we're looking at using these screens, so i need the measurements to see if they'll fit...
i can't find anything on the interwebs so i thought i'd ask here...
thanks

Welcome to Discussions, monsterchild.
Here is what Apple says:
Size and weight
20-inch Apple Cinema Display
* Height: 15.9 inches (40.4 cm)
* Width: 18.5 inches (47.1 cm)
* Depth: 6.8 inches (17.4 cm)
* Weight: 14.5 pounds (6.6 kg)
but ours measures about 16.1 inches high for some reason.
The height of the frame of ours is just barely over 12 inches as best I can measure with a yardstick, so your dimensions would be about 12 by 18.5 inches.

Powerbook 12" display question

Hi all
I recently bought a 1.5 Powerbook computer from someone. I was told before I bought it; that the screen was dim and you can faintly see things in the Finder. The person that I bought it from told me that she took it to the apple store and they said that it was the inverter board that was the problem.
After I bought the computer, I took it home and started to troubleshoot the problem. Well, the display is definitely faint. However, about a third of the display (from about the middle to the lower part of the display) is completely black.
I haven't hooked up the powerbook to an external monitor. If I assume that the person who I bought it from told me the truth about the Apple Store looking at the computer, that they would have done that to eliminate that possibility.
My question is this. Since the lower portion of the screen is completely dark (and the upper half is faint), would the problem be the inverter board or the actual display?
Also, I have another 12" powerbook (it is the 867 model) that is disassembled at the moment. Would it be possible to take the connector from that display and somehow put it in the 1.5 model's logic board in order to see if the display would come on?
Another question: if it is the inverter board and not the screen, would I have to take the whole display out in order to get the inverter board? I noticed in the powerbook-medic's video take apart guide; that he only goes as far as to removing the display in his video and doesn't show the removal of the inverter. I know that after you take out the LCD, you have to disengage the airport part from the inverter from his take apart manual. Any thoughts on this for advance precautions?
Thanks in advance for your time in reading this.

Well, so much for the previous questions
Anyway, I decided to buy a used display on Ebay. The person I got it from has 100% feedback and has done many auctions.
In any event, after taking the powerbook apart once again, I put in the new (used) display in. I also put in my hard drive from another aluminum powerbook machine (12" 867). When I booted the machine, I didn't see anything on the screen. All I heard was a low long beep for a couple of seconds.
I decided to put in another RAM chip and the original hard drive from the 1.5 machine. I started up the machine and noticed that it was doing the SAME thing that it was doing with the other screen. It was giving me a faint desktop.
I took the machine to work and tried it again with an external monitor once again. It works with an external display.
So, before I email this woman and tell her that she gave me a display with a bad inverter board. Would it be possible that there is something else wrong other than the display.
BTW, I did the P RAM thing and reset the power manager.
