I am creating a SSAS tabular model project in Visual Studio 2012 with SQL Server Data Tool. If I add a calculation and try to find an explanation for error by clicking the grid, it takes 1-4 minutes to process. During this time I cannot do anything, the green mousepointer is spinning endlessly. And this is not only when it displays error. If I accidentally click somewhere, it enters the same endless, kind of "processing" mode.My P.C. has 8 CPU and 12 GB memory. Model/ calculate option is set to manual calculation. Windows task manager shows that devenv.exe *32 takes 180 MB of memory and 0 CPU. There are also couple of svchost processes are running. Where I can start troubleshooting for such slow response?

Connection Manager Issue
I have successfully deployed an SSAS 2012 Multidimensional database to the server. I want to process that database, but first I need to modify the user and password of one of the Data Sources. No matter what I do, I can't get the data source's connection manager to save the password, even though I have checked the "Allow saving password" option. What am I doing wrong?

MDX IIF always evaluates to second argument
Hi everyone, I am stuck in this situation and it is getting the better of me. This should be obvious and easy but I am seeing a weird behavior with mdx iif statement. Irrespective of the condition(1st argument), it always evaluates to the second argument. Below is a code snippet -THIS = IIF ([Item].[Price Segment].CurrentMember IS [Item].[Price Segment].&[L], IIF ([Measures].[Month Rolling JOD] > 0.19,1, NULL), IIF ([Measures].[Month Rolling JOD] > 0.32, 1, NULL) );In the above code, irrespective of [Price Segment] value, it evaluates the second argument. I thought this to be an issue with the comparison so I tried different ways. 2nd way -THIS = IIF ([Item].[Price Segment].MemberValue = 'L', IIF ([Measures].[Month Rolling JOD] > 0.19,1, NULL), IIF ([Measures].[Month Rolling JOD] > 0.32, 1, NULL) );3rd way -THIS = CASE [Item].[Price Segment].MemberValue WHEN 'L' THEN IIF ([Measures].[3 Month Rolling POD] > 0,19,1, NULL) ELSE IIF ([Measures].[3 Month Rolling POD] > 0.32 1, NULL)END ;In all the ways, it is always 2nd argument that is evaluated. Even if [Item].[Price Segment] is L.This is a SOS situation. Any help is greatly appreciated folks.

100 Concurrent Queries
We are doing some load testing, using 100 XMLA scripts containing MDX queries. We have discovered that not all 100 queries are running concurrently. Is there a setting in SSAS that can be configured to let all 100 run in parallel?

Trouble deploying a
I am experiencing trouble deploying a time series mining structure. I have a basic structure, 4 predicts, one key quarters and a attribute, essentially a code. When I deploy all the 4 predicts and key it deploys if I add the attribute, regardless of the format, continous or discrete etc it fails, it says the data type can't be coverted from varchar. Thoughts?

MDX - Calculated Measure dependent on the user criteria
Is it possible to make a Calculated Measure depending what the user is filtering?My challenge is, that I have to find out a level on a department (siglum) that the user is filtering on the dashboard later (here in the Cube browser as seen on the picture attached).But I do not know how to actually figure out in the Calculated Measure what the user used as a criteria. I guess this is hard do find out right? The goal is to find out if Silgum "ASO" (which is the criteria) is actually inside the "Siglum Internal" or not.In this case I should count all except the "ASDKG" (marked yellow) which is not in "ASO".But of course if the user changes the Filter to "ASB", then the Calculated Measure should change. I tried so many thinks like days, but I couldn't it figure it out. I guess I'm missing something. It should be possible I guess somehow right?Thank you so much for your help in advanced.Br Simon

fact and dimension load
Hi advice please?1. Is it better to load the fact table from the dimension tables, so populate the dimensions with all records from DW and load fact with same records from those dimensions using joins.2.Or is it better to have the dimensions only contain the main attributes (not actual records) in a list format, so say 10 rows for customer dimension and 20 rows for products in product dimension, then load the fact table from the DW and not the dimension(s).From what I can see both ways will work although point 1 would mean adding all the records to the dimensions first then select across to the fact table which would be overkill??And point 2 would be in effect just lists of unique customers, products...with a business key in each to point back to the fact.Please can someone enlighten me on this one?ThanksSandman

I haven't really played with memory settings on SSAS engine so is the question. Under the properities it is set to 65 and 80 for Lowmemory and totalmemory respectively. I am looking in the .ini file, i do not see Lowmemory and Highmemory variables. What should i be modifying? I looked around couldn't find exactly what i was looking for.

Tabular SSAS goes off line a lot
It seems I am having to go to the admins a lot to restart the services. For the multidimensional instance it doesn't seem to have a problem. Both are running on SQL Server 2012 BI edition. Is this your classic case of new technology going through some growing pains? Is this common? Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

DMX insert INTO RELATIONAL TABLE HELP
Currently I have a Mining Structure with 5 Models. All 5 models are normalized in the sense their columns match up. For each model I have two queries one that predicts the forecast and one that shows the CASES (The data fed into the mining models. My questions is in your opinion what would be the best way to take the data from these queries and put them into a singular table in SSMS? I gotta believe it's SSIS with the Analysis Services Process and the transformation data flow (data mining query) I'm just hitting a little writers block on taking the output from the data mining query and passing it to a table structure I have built. THoughts on creating 10 seperate data mining queries and passing them through a union all to the source table? Thanks again.....
