Unable to import data in SSAS Tabular Project

I am using SQL Server 2012 Enterprise edition.
I installed one instance of SQL server in Tabular model in addition to the one installed in multi dimensional mode .
I Attached AdventureWorks2012DW database through SSMs and it worked .
Then I created a Tabular Analysis project,attached a AdventureWorks2012DW Database,specified tables to include (FactInternetSales and related table) and clicked finish.But the data could not be imported.
Can anyone help?

Hi Somesh420,
In a tabular project, we can import data by using Table Import Wizard in SQL Server Data Tools. Connect to the database, select data, preview, and filter the data, and then import the data into your model workspace. Here is a tutorial about how to create
a tabular database. Please refer to the follow link.

If the issue persists, please post the detail error message and describe the steps you did, so that we can make further analysis.

Error while importing data in SSAS Tabular Model

I am new to the concept Tabular Model in SSAS 2014.
I am trying to create one tabular model based on Adventureworks DW 2014.
I am getting below error while importing tables to create model.
"OLE DB or ODBC error: Login failed for user 'ASIAPAC\CSCINDAE732028$'.; 28000.
A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID of '98c2d415-1e84-469c-a170-2bcacd779c1a', Name of 'Adventure Works DB from SQL'.
An error occurred while processing the partition 'Customer_65240c88-55e7-416c-a7ac-732dece8be8e' in table 'Customer_65240c88-55e7-416c-a7ac-732dece8be8e'.
The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed."
But while creating the Datasource, it has created successfully (below img)
But while importing the facing the below error.
Note:
I have multiple instances in my system with unique names.
Is this causing any ambiguity issues in selecting right instances?

Hi Naveen，
Based on your screenshots, you fail to open a connection to the data source. Right?
In this scenario, the first screenshot you post is for creating a connection to server with the current windows authentication, not for connecting a data source. So the "Test Connection succeed" means your current windows user can connect
to server, not connect to the database your selected in the dropdown list. Then you click next, you can choose account to access the data source. Based on the information, your service account "'ASIAPAC\CSCINDAE732028$" doesn't have permission to
access the database you selected. Please grant the permission for the service account in SSMS.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Filter Date Table (SSAS Tabular)

Hi Guys,
I'll try to define my issue as clear as possible.
Am creating a model for SSAS Tabular but I have following problem.
I have a Date Table that I want to filter depending on what the user select from another table with values like:
Today, Yesterday, This Week, Last Week, This Month, Last Month, .....
What I have tried:
(1) My Date table contains flags(columns) for each of these values. Filtering on these values is no problem. But then I have a long list of different possible flags.
(2) I created a copy of my date table but with the flags unpivoted (DateId, FlagName, Value (0 or 1))
I was hoping to be able to create somehow a relation between my date table and this table, but no success.
Also this way I would have a field that users can filter on (choose what period they want to see)
But sadly enough (2) did not work and I can not find any other way to find a solution for it.
Any help would be great.
Regards,
Sammy

In your date table, you can create different attribute for
each condition below:
1. Today, 2. Yesterday, 3. This Week, 4. Last Week, 5. This Month, 6. Last Month
So, if we consider above attributes there will be 6 different attributes with "Yes/No" Or "True/ False" Or "1/0" whatever flag.
I would suggest you to calculate these conditions in sql query which will be faster compared to calculated columns in the model.
Unfortunately, tabular model 2012 do not support dynamic set so you cannot build a single attribute with these values @server side.
I had similar question sometime back, check if you find something useful from this thread -

Hello,
Unfortunately I do not agree with the statement made by SatyaK. Importing of data into FDM has nothing to do with the adapter and the Load actions.
What I would suggest to do is the following:
1. Clear the User Error Log (Tools -> Clear Error Log)
2. Reproduce the issue.
3. View the User Error Log (Tools -> View Error Log)
The reason is that it is sometimes 'filled' with information that might not be relevant, and you might not be looking at the very first error in the workflow. So therefore you could be looking at something totally irrelevant.
Secondly .... I would suggest to do this as well.... review the Import Log
1. Import Fish (should be white)
2. View Options Tab
3. View Log button
As you go through the log, it will tell you how many records it found, how many it was told to skip, etc. Sometimes when this error occurs it is because the total number of 'valid' records, was zero. Therefore there was nothing to insert into the database. If this is the case, then you will need to update your import format accordingly.
Thank you.

Unable to import xml into my CS4 project

Hi folks,
I am trying to embed a 3rd party flash component into my current flash project. As a stand alone, the component works fine but when I try and import the xml file for the component into my current flash project library, the message I get:
" one or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them"!!!
I have tried importing the xml file into another dummy cs4 project on another machine and again no success, so I believe there are elements within the xml file that will not work with cs4. Below is the xml file code. I would appreciate if anyone can spot anything wrong with this file as to why it wont import into flash. Even try and import it yourself and see what I mean.
Hope someone can help.

Hi there,
Thank you for responding. When I say component, I have purchased a flash component from a company called www.flabell.com. When you buy the component, you get the as, swf, assest, images, fla etc etc.
My goal is to embed this component into a flash project that I am working on at the moment which involves importing the assets/resources from the flabell component folder into the library of my current flash project.
My folder structure at the moment is that I have top level folder call project. In this folder is my actual flash project folder and the flabell component folder. So no the html that embeds my main swf is not in the same folder as my 3 party swf - they are in two different locations. However should this be an issue if I am importing the xml into my main project library anyway?
Hope this info shines more light.

I am unable to import data from opera

When I click on the "File" menu, there is no "Import" option to select. I have already imported my Opera bookmarks via a .HTML file. I want to import other data, such as cookies, and passwords.

No, I don't think so. Passwords are usually stored encrypted and Firefox can't import the passwords in such cases. For Google Chrome there may be a solution in future Firefox versions, but I not aware of any such plans for Opera as that browser is much less used.

Unable to import files and folders as project

Recently, my Aperture 3.1.2 didn't allow me to import files stored in an external hard drive, so I put this issue here sometime back and somebody gave me a hint to try to import in a different way i.e. File>Import>Folders As Project and it worked. A couple of weeks later, the above two methods didn't work again. After all I reinstalled Mac OS(downgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.6.4) and reinstalled Aperture version 3.1.1 accordingly. But I still can't import 16bit Tiff image files. (FYI, my SIGMA camera RAW file format X3F is not supported by Aperture 30.). In South Korea, Apple Korea did sell Aperture 3 product to me and provide ZERO service for Aperture 3 users, and they demand to directly contact Apple HQ Aperture support organization via international calls in non-native language. Please help me.

Hello Mr. Caggiano,
Sorry for late reply due to big time difference. Up until yesterday morning, I was running Aperture 3.1.2 on Mac OS 10.6.8(both are the latest versions.) As my Sigma SD15 camera RAW is not currently supported by Aperture 3, I deveop RAW files, adjust images and save them in Tiff 16bit format using Sigma-provided S/W on the EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. And then I open Aperture 3 and import images from external HD for further image adjustments. This is the way I import files. I click File>Import>Folders As Project, and choose target files among displayed folder system. That is my ordinary workflow. I have had no problems until the following happened.
Yesterday afternoon, I chosed the specific folder to continue the remaining adjustments, but all of the folders including the target folder were all grayed out, and the spinning gear displaying "Loading assests" soon disappeared without showing any image thumbnails. I had no way to click "cancel" button on the buttom of Import Panel. Finally I decided to lower my Mac OS from the latest 10.6.8 to 10.6.4 and also Aperture version from 3.1.2 to 3.1.1. I had to create an another Aperture library to suit 3.1.1 version. And I tested again on the changed environment but the result was the same. Regretfully, going back to old Mac OS have caused Sigma-provided RAW conversion & adjusment S/W to restrict some functionalities such as file conversion and saving. In fact my lowered Mac OS is still higher version than Sigma-published s/w installation requirement. I may have to upgrade Mac OS again to 10.6.7, not the latest because I don't want to be an early adopter of the forth-coming Mac OS Lion. I am very perplexed now.
I tried to describe what happened yesterday as detailed as possible for you to come up with a solution. I look forward to hearing a good news from you.
Thank you. DK

Unable to import slides and save project

Hello Captivators,
I have a problem. I call it a big problem. I am unable to
import any slides from one project to another.
I have a project with 15 slides, some with audio. And I have
a similar project with the same number of slides.
I wanted to import from project a to project b just two
slides with objects. The import seems to work. I get an asterisk in
the title bar, indicating the project has changed (added two slides
with audio). I then attempt to save this project (under the same
name). The screen locks, I get a permanent hourglass (using Windows
XP on HP xw8400 workstation), and the app goe to the "not
responding" state. and a CTRL-ALT-Delete takes several tries before
I can kill the app(s). It also seems that I get two instances of
the project when I try to kill the app in Task Manager.
Anyone seen this before???
Catbandit are you there???
eholz1

Haven't seen it before but a perhaps obvious thing to try is
to save the
project as a *different* file after importing (or maybe just
try
copy/paste?) in the two new slides?

Need help ASAP - SSAS Tabular error has me stumped and others' solutions do not apply in this case.

Hello everyone,
Here's hoping no one will consider this to be the wrong forum. The data source is an Access database, but the issue is an SSAS Tabular issue. Kind of desperate here... the customer needs this ASAP, and I've been trying to resolve this for a week
already! Any help would be much appreciated!
A customer of mine (another employee of the ComIT department) is receiving an error trying to open an Access database via SQL Data Tools.
The error is "OLE DB or ODBC error: The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file '\\[our_domain]\[the_path_to_the_file]\[database_name].accdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission
to view and write its data.; 3051."
What perplexes me is that I do not receive this error, my coworkers on the DBA team do not receive this error, and our boss does not receive this error--even on the customer's machine. But the customer gets this error every single time.
The only difference is the credentials provided on the "Impersonation Information" window.
Here is our process:
We open SQL Data Tools, we create a new Analysis Services Tabular Project, we select the workspace server (our Analysis Services server... db5079\tabular) and test connection ("Test connection succeded") and click OK.
Then we click "Import From Data Source," select "Microsoft Access," enter the full network path to the database and test connection ("Test connection succeeded")
The next window says "Impersonation Information - Specify the credentials used by the Analysis Services server to connect to the data source when importing and processing data"
The credentials provided at this point is the only difference between me/my team/our boss and the customer. If we use our own credentials at this point--even on the customer's machine--we receive no error and everything is fine.
If we use the customer's credentials, we get the error above at the end of the next step (i.e., after we choose the data to import and then click Finish).
So that's it. On the same machine, the customer's credentials produce this error, and our credentials do not.
I have already added the customer as a server administrator to the Analysis Services server (db5079\tabular).
Copying the data source to another folder on the network or to his local machine produces the same results: his credentials produce the error, my credentials/my boss's credentials/etc. do not.
All of our machines are 64 bit, and the Analysis Services server is 2012 64-bit.
Please help!

UPDATE: As it turns out, all those who were able to import the data were local administrators on the Analysis Server (i.e., on the OS), and all those who were unable to import data were not.
When we added someone who couldn't import the data to the local Administrators group on the Analysis Server, they were able to import the data.
However, we can't give them local admin on the Analysis Server, and we are unable to determine what combination of user rights and permissions on folders we can grant the user as individual that will allow them to import the data.
Just as a test, we tried giving the user the same user rights that the admin group has, and the same permissions on all the drive as the admin group has, but that didn't work.
If it had worked, we could have started reducing the rights until we found the minimum necessary, but it didn't and once again we're stuck.
Please help!

Tabular Modeling. What is the best practice for importing data into VS to limit the records in the designer?

Should I wrap the queries in a procedure with a @StartDate and @EndDate and create a test partition to pass a small date range?
Or can i use the Table properties screen to put the command there and will it run and not be affected or affect the partitions?This would be nice if this SQL statement on this screen was independent of the partitions and I could just leave it with the the
command text = EXEC TransactionDetail '2014-01-01', '2014-05-31' Especially since if you have many tables that load based on a date range. i would not want to jump in and change that query on all of them.
Is there a a way to have a parameter in the project so all tables would get the same @startDate and @EndDate so I could change it in one place?
And I am not stuck to these questions\options, If there is a better way to mass change the queries to run a subset of data for the designer I'd like to hear it.
Thank You,
Phil

Hi Phil,
According to your description, you are looking for the best way to control the rows that are loaded into a table, right?
When importing data to a table of tabular model, we can apply filters to control the rows that are loaded into a table. After you have imported the data, you cannot delete individual rows. However, you can apply custom filters to control the way that
rows are displayed. Rows that do not meet the filtering criteria are hidden. For the detail information about it, please refer to the link below.Filter Data in a Table (SSAS Tabular)
If I have anything misunderstand, please point it out.

Data loaded to Power Pivot via Power Query is not yet supported in SSAS Tabular Cube

Hello, I'm trying to create a SSAS Tabular cube from a data loaded to Power Pivot via Power Query (SAP BOBJ connector) but looks like is not yet supported.
Any one tried this before? any workaround that make sense?
The final goal is pull data from SAP BW, BO Universe (using PowerQuery) and be able to create a SSAS Tabular cube.
Thanks in advance
Sebastian

Sebastian,
Depending on the size of the data from Analysis Services, one work around could be to import the data into into Excel and then make an Excel table and then use the Excel table as a data source.

What user should be used when importing a Power Pivot model into SSAS tabular?

I created a Power Pivot model using my own userid.
In SSDT I can import that model but it saves the model in my own My Documents folder. In SSMS, other users can browse the data in that model.
If I tell SSDT to save the model in the Public user's My Documents, the model is not visible in SSMS for anyone to see.
If a colleague imports the model, it can be seen in SSMS but there is no data when it is browsed.
There seems to be a tie up with the user id I used when the model was first created. Is it possible to break that link, or should we have a user id specifically for creating and deploying Power BI models via SSAS tabular?

Import from Server Tabular Project creating a new Tabular DB?

Hi,
I have a Tabular database on a server want to make some changes to it, for that I have imported Tabular DB through BIDS and trying to makes changes, and what I see is every time I import the tabular DB its creating a New DB on the server with <DBName><UserName><GUID>.
Is this the Tabular Model behavior or an I missing anything here?
How to make the changes to the existing Tabular?
Thanks

Hi SQL_Gun,
According to your description, you want to modify an existing tabular database. Right?
In Analysis Services Tabular mode, once the "Import from Server" project is created, the Workspace database will appear in the Analysis Services instance specified in the
Workspace Server property. The name cannot be set in the Properties window. The default setting of Workspace database is the project name, followed by an underscore, followed by the username, followed by an underscore, followed by a GUID. In this
scenario, I suggest open the original project which created that tabular database. Modify the project and redeploy it.

Excel SSAS Tabular error: An error occurred during an attempt to establish a connection to the external data source

Hello there,
I have an Excel report I created which works perfectly fine on my dev environment, but fails on my test environment when I try to do a data refresh.
The key difference between both dev and test environments is that in dev, everything is installed in one server:
SharePoint 2013
SQL 2012: Database Instance, SSAS Instance, SSRS for SharePoint, SSAS POWERPIVOT instance (Powerpivot for SharePoint).
In my test and production environments, the architecture is different:
SQL DB Servers in High Availability (irrelevant for this report since it is connecting to the tabular model, just FYI)
SQL SSAS Tabular server (contains a tabular model that processes data from the SQL DBs).
2x SharePoint Application Servers (we installed both SSRS and PowerPivot for SharePoint on these servers)
2x SharePoint FrontEnd Servers (contain the SSRS and PowerPivot add-ins).
Now in dev, test and production, I can run PowerPivot reports that have been created in SharePoint without any issues. Those reports can access the SSAS Tabular model without any issues, and perform data refresh and OLAP functions (slicing, dicing, etc).
The problem is with Excel reports (i.e. .xlsx files) uploaded to SharePoint. While I can open them, I am having a hard time performing a data refresh. The error I get is:
"An error occurred during an attempt to establish a connection to the external data source [...]"
I ran SQL Profiler on my SSAS Server where the Tabular instance is and I noticed that every time I try to perform a data refresh, I get the following entries:
Every time I try to perform a data refresh, two entries under the user name ANONYMOUS LOGON.
Since things work without any issues on my single-server dev environment, I tried running SQL Server Profiler there as well to see what I get.
As you can see from the above, in the dev environment the query runs without any issues and the user name logged is in fact my username from the dev environment domain. I also have a separated user for the test domain, and another for the production domain.
Now upon some preliminary investigation I believe this has something to do with the data connection settings in Excel and the usage (or no usage) of secure store. This is what I can vouch for so far:
Library containing reports is configured as trusted in SharePoint Central Admin.
Library containing data connections is configured as trusted in SharePoint Central Admin.
The Data Provider referenced in the Excel report (MSOLAP.5) is configured as trusted in SharePoint Central Admin.
In the Excel report, the Excel Services authentication settings is set as "use authenticated user's account". This wortks fine in the DEV environment.
Concerning SecureStore, PowerPivot Configurator has configured it the PowerPivotUnnattendedAccount application ID in all the environments. There is
NO configuration of an Application ID for Excel Services in any of the environments (Dev, test or production). Altough I reckon this is where the solution lies, I am not 100% sure as to why it fails in test and prod. But as I read what I am
writing, I reckon this is because of the authentication "hops" through servers. Am I right in my assumption?
Could someone please advise what am I doing wrong in this case? If it is the fact that I am missing an Secure Store entry for Excel Services, I am wondering if someone could advise me on how to set ip up? My confusion is around the "Target Application
Type" setting.
Thank you for your time.
Regards,
P.

Hi Rameshwar,
PowerPivot workbooks contain embedded data connections. To support workbook interaction through slicers and filters, Excel Services must be configured to allow external data access through embedded connection information. External data access is required
for retrieving PowerPivot data that is loaded on PowerPivot servers in the farm. Please refer to the steps below to solve this issue:
In Central Administration, in Application Management, click Manage service applications.
Click Excel Services Application.
Click Trusted File Location.
Click http:// or the location you want to configure.
In External Data, in Allow External Data, click Trusted data connection libraries and embedded.
Click OK.
For more information, please see:
Create a trusted location for PowerPivot sites in Central Administration:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee637428.aspx
Another reason is Excel Services returns this error when you query PowerPivot data in an Excel workbook that is published to SharePoint, and the SharePoint environment does not have a PowerPivot for SharePoint server, or the SQL Server Analysis
Services (PowerPivot) service is stopped. Please check this document:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff487858(v=sql.110).aspx
Finally, here is a good article regarding how to troubleshoot PowerPivot data refresh for your reference. Please see:

Unable to import Vob vedio file in to my project

I am unable to import my VOB vedio file in to my Adobe Premier pro cs6.Please help me on this how can i edit .VOB file

vob files are files from DVD and sometimes they are copyrighted and have meta data in them that makes it hard to use.. cause the manufacturer of that DVD tried to add data to the file so people can't abuse the copyright. Not all vob files have just video in them.. some have other stuff in them ... like menus and weird stuff that is used by the DVD to display chapters and special features and so on.. So basically not all VOB files are equal .. they are not all the same.. so your problem could be any number of problems...
If you provide more info .. like maybe someone can help out a bit... but it may be hard to help solve the problem even WITH more info... depending where you got the file and what's inside it. sorry that isnt very helpful right off the bat , but vob files can be weird. Another problem with some vob files is that not all of them are written really 'correctly'... even though it is a standardized thing some programs that make vob files dont do a very good job of making them... so .. maybe more info from you could help.. but then again.. it might not lead to a happy ending for you...
but good luck
