I'd like to ask your input on what the best practice is for handling null or empty data values when it pertains to data warehousing and SSIS/SSAS. I have several fact and dimension tables that contain null values in different rows. Specifics: 1) What is the best way to handle null date/times values? Should I make a 'default' row in my time or date dimensions and point SSIS to the default row when there is a null found? 2) What is the best way to handle nulls/empty values inside of dimension data. Ex: I have some rows in an 'Accounts' dimensions that have empty (not NULL) values in the Account

I'm attempting to deploy an ssas tabular model (I don't know what I'm doing ) I have made multidimensional on SQL Server 2008 R2 with VS2013. I wanted to try Tabular in conjunction with power BI. So I set up a SQL Azure DB, I have Azure SQL database and Visual Studio 2013 Pro I can get the connection to the Azure DB in VS2013 and write T-SQL against it but when I try and create a tabular model and select the Azure database as the SQL Server workspace it fails to make a connection. Is it something to do with the compatibility module or do I need to create a Azure VM? Thank you for your help ...

Is it true that Analysis Services ONLY supports windows authentication? Yes, it does. Quote from MSDN "SQL Server Analysis Services supports only Windows Authentication" You'll need active directory, Refer to the following kb on how to set it up http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917409 Actually needing "Active Directory" isn't really true. You can trick OS's by logging into your PC in any domain with the same User and Password as the account on the other server that's running SSAS. I do it all the time. By default you'll get access if the domains are different but the user/pass is exact.

I am stuck with a problem of implementing security at dimension level in SSAS. Here is what I did - 1. Defined a role in SSAS and applied security at dimension level (Unchecking cube dimensions that I don't want this role to access and setting Allowed & denied Sets). 2. Tested using Cube Browser, it worked fine. 3. Tested using SSRS, no change, I was still able to query the dimensions & get results that I don't want. Question - Is it possible to propagate the security I define at Cube level to SSRS? I would like to believe yes it is. If yes then here is what I need - Users will logon to the

I am trying to get percentage difference with month and year using DAX function Month Year records Jan 2015 100 Feb 2015 120 Mar 2015 140 Apr 2015 160 and I am trying to calculate percentage diff in a new column Month Year records %change Jan 2015 100 0% Feb 2015 120 20% Mar 2015 140 17.02% Apr 2015 180 22%.03 In your current setup, something like this could work. Using a datetable would be better and easier though. %change = VAR StartLastMonth = ( DATE ( 'table'[Year], 'table'[Month] - 1, 1 ) ) VAR RecordsLastMonth = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'table'[Records] ), FILTER ( 'table', 'table'[Year] = YEAR

I'm just starting to get my head around MDX and I'm having trouble with a calculated member. I'm using the following MDX: IIF( ISEMPTY((Axis(1).Item(0).Item(0).Dimension.CurrentMember, [Measures].[Qty])) ,NULL ,([Product].[Product Code].CurrentMember.Parent, [Measures].[Qty]) ) What I'm trying to do is get a total quantity of the group of products displayed in a cube. I then use that total to divide by each product's quantity to get a "percent of total" measure. The above MDX does correctly return the total quantity of products displayed in any dimension. However, when a user in Excel changes

在创建SSAS项目过程中，创建数据源、数据源视图、多维数据集、纬度等一切都没有问题。但是在“进程”这一步的时候，发现总是报错，提示如下。 OLE DB 错误: OLE DB 或 ODBC 错误 : 用户 'XXXXX\XXXXXXXXX$' 登录失败。; 28000。 搜索半天没有什么满意的回答，然后思索是不是ssas的服务没有开，转到服务后，突然发现ssas的服务帐号好像在数据库的安全性没有，如下图。 然后去数据库添加这个帐号为本地帐号， 赋予 db_owner、public权限。 然后点击重新处理，就可以了 接着下一步 部属也是OK的。 来源： https://www.cnblogs.com/Impulse/p/11834345.html
