I have created a cube for Financial reporting using the AdventureWorks 2008R2 DW as a guide. I've defined my GL accounts and created the account hierarchy and everything is rolling up the way I expect with the exception of Net Income. It calculated correctly but the Balance sheet is not at zero but shows an amount equal to income. My question is should Income roll up under the Owner's Equity through the dimension or is there a way in SSAS to populated Retained Earnings? In the MS example, Income does not roll up anywhere but is at the same level as the Balance Sheet. I am completely confused on a best practice for handling this.

Excel pivot table field selection lists won't stay checked if the selection has certain characters
When some of my users do a multi-select on a pivot table field list in MS Excel that is tied to a SSAS object, the selection won't stay checked if the name contains certain characters (or maybe it's just one). Selections in the same hierarchy without the characters stay selected as expected. For now, the ("-quote) symbol seems to be the prime suspect. I can find nothing about this issue on the net or in this site, but it can't be an uncommon issue given that the symbol is used for inches. The one thing that might make our environment uncommon is that the names are set to unique, so the name is used in the MDX statements. Has anyone experienced this and what did you do about it?

Power View --> SSAS Multi-Dim Model Supported?
I thought with the latest Power View in Excel 2013 (or SharePoint 2013) you can connect to a Multi-Dimensional model now. I am using Excel 2013 PowerView and cannot connect to a 2012 Analysis Service Multi-Dim Cube. Any help appreciated.Tia,Chris B

Time Dimension - Date Format M/d/yyyy instead of dd/MM/yyyy
Dear allI have created a Cube with a Time Dimension. I have deployed this Cube on my local machine and on a remote Server.When I connect Excel to the Cubes, from my local machine I get the Dates as dd/MM/yyyy but as M/d/yyyy from the remote Server.I have tried to force the format in the Key Column properties of the Date Attribute but to no avail. I have also changed the Locale on the remote Server to be English UK instead of US.I am a bit lost here as to where the Analysis Services decide to get the formatting from.Cheers

MDX to exclude and filter sets
For several days, I've been trying to write mdx select correctly, but the result I get every time is either more than the right number or an error.I have to count my orders [b]but exclude orders with Customer Flag 1 in Year 2010[/b].Basically, I have a Fact table with Orders + DIM Customer + DIM Date. Than I have:[quote] WITH MEMBER [count] as count(exists([DIM ORDERS].[ORDERS ID].children,{EXCEPT([DIM CUSTOMER].[FLAG].children,FILTER([DIM CUSTOMER].[FLAG].&[1] ,[DIM CUSTOMER].[FLAG].currentmember IS [DIM_DATE].[YEAR].&[2010]))},'FACT_ORDERS'))SELECT [count] on 0from [Cube][/quote]Where am I going wrong? Is this a correct MDX for my task. Please help me.

Reporting Help (Excel, SSRS, MDX)
I have built my first cube and I believe it is setup properly but I am having hard time wrapping my mind around how to report some data.My cube is based on admissions to a university and I would like to build a report that compares applications to date for a specific term and compare it to another term based on the same date last year. Example, Dec 5, 2013|2014Fall and Dec, 5, 2012|2013Fall. The users should be able to pick the 2 terms and at least 1 date. I have tried to build an MDX script to test this with hard-coded values but I am having problems getting the dates to work from essentially the beginning of time to the specified date and summarizing the data by term. Ultimately, some end users will be getting this data in a canned report through SSRS and some will be using Excel to slice and dice the data. However, each instance requires this flexibility. Am I going down the wrong path with the MDX script since I will be using Excel and SSRS? If yes, then how is the reporting requirement performed in Excel and SSRS?Thanks

Calculated Measure LFL Grand Total
Hi I have a cube that has Products, Store,Date,Sales Type.I have two calculated measureMature Sales This YearSales Last YearThe Mature Sales Measure uses Parallel Period, CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Mature Net Sales This Year] AS CASE WHEN ( [Measures].[Mature Net Sales Value], PARALLELPERIOD ([01 - Date].[Calendar].[Financial Year], 0, [01 - Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember)) =0 THEN NULL ELSE ( [Measures].[Mature Net Sales Value], PARALLELPERIOD ([01 - Date].[Calendar].[Financial Year], 0, [01 - Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember)) I have a measure that shows Sales Last YearCREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Net Sales Last Year] AS iif ([Measures].[Mature Net Sales This Year] >0, --case when [Measures].[Mature Net Sales This Year] >0 then sum (EXISTING [Measures].[Net Sales Value], PARALLELPERIOD ([01 - Date].[Calendar].[Financial Year], 1, [01 - Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember) ), null ), FORMAT_STRING = "#,##.00", NON_EMPTY_BEHAVIOR = { [Measures].[Mature Net Sales Value] }, VISIBLE = 1 , DISPLAY_FOLDER = 'LFL Measures' , ASSOCIATED_MEASURE_GROUP = '01- Sales' ; END , FORMAT_STRING = "#,#.00", NON_EMPTY_BEHAVIOR = { [Measures].[Mature Net Sales Value] }, VISIBLE = 1 , DISPLAY_FOLDER = 'LFL Measures' , ASSOCIATED_MEASURE_GROUP = '01- Sales' ; The issue is the displaying of Grand Total if I filter the dimensions by and attribute (Select Few Products etc) the grand total displays correct, the moment I use select all attribute from any dimension the grand Total displays the wrong value.The Grand Total is not filtering out the shops that did not have mature sales this year.FYI - The business logic is if there are mature sales this year for the selected period, show last years sales.Many ThanksDan

Calculated Measure
HiI have a Cube with Store / Product / Date/Sales Type etc.I need to provide a measure within the cube that shows me sales value last year if there is a sale this year.The store dimension as attributes such as Area and Region and I need to make sure when browsing by Area etc if a Store did not have sales this year then the sales for Last Year are not included, even though there could be other stores within that Area that has Sales.I also need to be able to have the measure filterable that when a user selects a specific store the grand totals will filter down accordingly.Many ThanksDan

Importing Data from cube - different in SSMS
Hi,I have this MDX statement that produces my sites the way I want to see them in SSMS.My problem is when I import from my cube into a SQL2012 table it breaks 'SITES' out from the hierarchy.It doesn't look like that in SSMS - the way it is in SSMS is it has one column called 'SITES' and it lists them straight down. When I import in to SQL it breaks out all of the levels of my SITE and creates all these new columns.How do I stop that?
