One of my users has created an Excel Dashboard pack containing 5 different OLAP Pivot tables (not Power Pivot) querying a single cube.He's using 5 slicers on each dashboard. It works but the latency is quite poor as every time a user clicks a slicer the queries are updated which involves a round trip to the SSAS server in another country !.I'm thinking of querying the cubes with ADO in VBA and then creating a single non-olap pivot/table for him to base the dashboards on. I don't think the aggregated data will be too big.Has anyone handled this problem differently?

Display negative aggregates as zero
I'm quite new to SSAS, so please go easy on me.I have a measure which, when aggregated, can be positive or negative.If, after aggregation, the result is negative, I want to return zero rather than the negative value.What is the best way to do this?I'm using SSAS in multidimensional mode.

upper limits
Hi,I'm very new at SSAS. So I hope I am able to explain my problem with SSAS.I have a table in SQL server with the following tables:maintable:SampleID (int) prim. keyCountry (var)Analyten (var)ResultValue (int)date (date)...analytentable:ID (int) prim. keyAnalyten (var)UpperLimit (int)In SSAS I imported the tables to use them as dimensions. I also have a timetable.So now what I try to reach is, if the ResultValue from the maintable is higher than the UpperLimit in the analytentable, it should be displayed in Excel. If other "Analyten" are under the UpperLimit, they should be not displayed.I don't know what is the best way to receive this goal. With MDX, Measures, ...? Have someone a solution for me?Thanks in advance!!!rb

Strange Error : Cube with Oracle & SQL Server Data Sources
Hi, I've got a user who is building a cube that has both SQL Server & Oracle data sources. Tables from both sources are added to the cube and measures from both are added, you can Explore data from tables in both data sources and everything appears to be working fine but when you attempt to Process the cube it fails with the following error ... [quote]21 Internal error: The operation terminated unsuccessfully22 Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the managed IDbCommand interface was being used: ORA-0942: table or view does not exist.23 Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurred while processing the 'SQLServerTableName' partition of the 'SQLServerTableName' measure group for the 'CubeName' cube from the BlahBlah database.24 Server: The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed. [/quote]It appears to be attempting to query the SQL Server table on the Oracle connection and is returning an Oracle error. I've run a trace on the SQL Server side and I can see SSAS connecting to SQL Server but it doesn't attempt to query the table. We can build and process cubes from each source individually but not from both sources in the same cube. I've tried simplifing the cube itself, just including a single table from each connection and we're having the same problem. Any ideas?Edit: Additional System InfoSSAS 2012Oracle 11

How to propagate relationships for calculated members in SSAS?
I am stuck in a situation which I believe should have a ready solution because it looks like a common scenario to me. Any help is much appreciated.I have a fact 'F' and a dimension 'D'. The relationship between D and F is many to many. I have modeled this relationship in my dimension usage using a bridge table 'B' and and intermediate dimension 'D1'. My fact F has both base measures(coming directly from the DSV) and some calculated members. When i browse in excel by dropping attributes from D and measures from F, I am getting expected results for my base measures. But calculated members is showing the grand total and wont breakup according to the many to many relationship as defined in cube. Note - I am assigning default values to my calculated members in the DSV. Final assignment to the calculated members happen under scoped assignment. Does SSAS not support relationships for calculated members? Too bad if it doesn't. Any workaround guys??Amit Chandra

How to copy paste measures from one table to table to another in .bim file, in Visual studio
I have created about a hundred aggregate measures in one table , which need to be copied to another table in the same tabular model.I can copy and paste the measures only one by one. And after one measure is copied and pasted, i need to process the first table, to be able to copy and paste the second one. This is very time consuming. Is there a way around this? Appreciate your suggestion.

SSAS Enterprise Version to Standard Edition
Hi I have to migrate cube from SSAS Enterprise version to Standard Edition. I also have few semi-additive measures. In order to address the issue i am planning to Create the Calculated Measures. What should be my approach ???? 1) What Additive property should be set in the property window panel. 2) Is sufficient to have Calculated measure with OpeningPeriod/ClosingPeriod function. DO i need any other consideration while downgrade from EE to SE version related to cube ..PLEASE HELPVeneet !!!!!

Apply a label to the all member when querying allmembers from a hierarchy
I need to create an MDX query returning allmembers from a hierarchy as I need the value for the All level of the Hierarchy. When I do this with the ALLMEMBERS function (null) is returned as the member name rather than All. Is it possible for me to set something in the cube to return a label for the All member used in this way.You can see an example query below which queries the AdventureWorks cube.[code="sql"] SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Reseller Sales Count], [Measures].[Reseller Sales-Sales Amount] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Reseller].[Business Type].Allmembers) } ON ROWS FROM [Analysis Services Tutorial] [/code]What I want to see is 'All' rather than (null)

Excel Data-Mining Plug in Tabular Mode?
Our company just set up a SSAS Tabular instance and so far building the star schema has been absolutely brilliant, one snafu we have ran into though. The Excel data-mining plug in doesn't seem to work with the Tabular instance. Is there other tools out there that can perform time series and other predictive analysis off of the tabular version? While the processing speed of the tabular version is tremendous, it lacks this one key component. Any suggestions in regards to mining tabular data, such as using the ARTxp or ARIMA algorithms?

SSAS Won't import from Oracle Data Source
Hi All, I am trying to help one of my BI Developers out and seem to be hitting a brick wall. We are trying to use Oracle 11g as a data source for a tabular model in SSAS 2012. Test Connection succeeds, even data preview shows records, SQL validates with no problem, then it fails when conducting the import. Here is what the error says. [quote]OLE DB or ODBC error: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified. A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID of 'blah blah blah', Name of Oracle XXXXXXXX. The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.[/quote] I have obviously seen this error before and have resolved it, but this time it isn't related to the connection per se, because the connection test was successful and the preview of the data is working. Like I said, it only errors on the actual import. After some reading we found that it was potentially related to a 32 v 64 bit conflict with the driver, and the solution from MSDN simply says to create identical DSNs with the same name, but we aren't defining these on her machine for development, we eventually have to deploy it to a server so, we are reluctant to define a DSN outside of the connection we create within the package itself, otherwise we don't know if it will be carried over to the prod server when we deploy. Even if we encounter the same issue when we deploy to prod, we will definitely need to tell our server admin how to address the failure and what exactly needs to be installed to rectify the conflict.

SSAS Processing fails due to not having enough disk space.
Hi,The SSAS package synchronizes fine the first time. When we run the synchronization the subsequent day it fails due to not having enough disk space.Each time I un process or delete and synchronize, it works fine. How should I fix the issue? How much disk space is needed usuallyAlmost 73GB is available and the cube is only 43GB. the synchronization still fails.Thanks,Praveena.

Multidimensional vs Tabular
Hey,I'm completely new to SSAS and doing some research whilst working through tutorials to build my first analysis database.One thing I'm unclear on is how different multidimensional and tabular models are...from what I gather, the multidimensional model is better for dealing with complex datasets and business requirements, whilst tabular is more straightforward and can be efficient with smaller datasets. Do you have any specific examples where you've chosen one or the other & why?Also are there any common "gotcha's" you would have liked to know about as a newbie? I already had a disaster yesterday where it stopped connecting to SQL Server...in the end I had to restart everything!Would appreciate hearing others experiences. Also if anyone can recommend some more challenging tutorials than MS AdventureWorks that would be excellent...so far I've done that, and tried to investigate some of the smaller problems posted on this forum.Thanks :-)
