I recently ran into a problem in our SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services Cube. Imagine you have a simple sales data warehouse with orders and products. Each order can be associated with several products, and each product can be contained in several orders. So the data warehouse consists out of at least 3 tables: One for the Products, one for the Orders and one for the reference table, modelling the n:n relationship between both. The question I want our cube to answer is: How many orders are there which contain both product x and product y? In SQL, this is easy: select orderid from dbo

I have a requirement where I have a table like this, Role Skills Developer C Developer SQL Developer C++ Data Analyst R Data Analyst Python Data Analyst SQL Business Analyst Excel Business Analyst SQL And I need to create something like this in Power BI, Explaining the first result for a Business Analyst in Power BI Visual Table, From Filter 1 - I have selected Data Analyst - whose actual skills are R, Python and SQL From Filter 2 - I have selected a new skill (Upskill) as Excel. So now, he has 4 skills. So For Business Analyst - Row 1 in Visual Table %Skills without upskilling - Only SQL from

I need to modify the content of certain HttpRequests (SSAS connection strings) in IIS. Basically, I need to add an element to the SOAP contained in the request. My approach so far has been to add a Filter to the HttpRequest, and perform the change in the filter's Read method. As far as I can tell, though, Read is never being executed. My understanding of the Request.Filter is that it gets read from when IIS processes the request, so IIS should see my modified Request. Is what I'm trying to do actually possible using an HttpModule and is my Filter approach correct? If so, what would cause Read

Firstly, I feel comfortable with what a hierarchy is in terms of the concept and how it impacts the design of a DW's star schema. I have some dimensions with lots of attributes, and I could create lots of hierarchies within SSAS. I would like a better understanding of how the OLAP engine uses the hierarchies that I create so that I can make a more informed decision on how I design my hierarchies(that's a tough word to type the first few times). There are also limitations with SSAS regarding attributes appearing in multiple hierachies so sometimes I have to do extra work to work around those

I am currently learning OLAP & MDX after many years of relational database development. Any tips on getting started in MDX? What are the best books and resources to learn MDX? A classic, albeit a bit dated, book is Fast Track to MDX . It's a great overview and a quick read, though it doesn't cover the new MDX features of SQL Server 2005. The Spofford book MDX Solutions is more up date and a little deeper, but a bit harder to get through. I also highly recommend the blogs of Mosha Pasumansky , Chris Webb , and Darren Gosbell . Here is an MDX gentle introduction . I found the Spoffard book not

This works fine: WITH SET [AllCountries] AS [Country].[Country].MEMBERS SET [AllStates] AS [State-Province].[State-Province].MEMBERS SET [Top2States] AS Generate ( [AllCountries] ,TopCount ( (EXISTING [AllStates]) ,3 ,[Measures].[Internet Order Count] ) ) MEMBER [State-Province].[All].[RestOfCountry] AS Aggregate({(EXISTING {[AllStates]} - [Top2States])}) SELECT {[Measures].[Internet Order Count]} ON COLUMNS ,{ [AllCountries] * { [State-Province].[All] ,[Top2States] ,[State-Province].[All].[RestOfCountry] } } ON ROWS FROM [Adventure Works]; The EXISTING keyword helps a lot . If the two

I have following problem: When I try to deploy my SSAS project (with cube, dimensions and all that jazz) to sql-server, it throws error saying that You cannot deploy the model because the DB deployment server is not running in multidimensional mode. I'm new to this, so it might be a dumb question, but how do I change database mode from tabular to multidimensional? Tabular and Multi Dimensional are completely different thing. When you install SQL Server, you have to choose which one you are going to install. So, if you create a Tabular model, you only can deploy it to Tabular installation of
