SSAS - Receiving duplicate attribute key error

SSAS - Cube Processing - Failing with the following error.

Errors in the OLAP storage engine: A duplicate attribute key has been found when processing: Table: TableName Column: 'ColumnName', Value: 'Value'. The attribute is 'AttributeName'.

Open in new window


The error is originating from one of the Dimension. This dimension is based off of a fact table (instead of a dimension table). Therefore, duplicates always exists for fields such as city, state etc.

The cube was processing successfully for a long time and failing all of a sudden. The above duplicate error appears to be misleading.

Hi,

The best approach is to fix up the data in the ETL.  Better yet, fix the front end application that could trim out this stuff to begin with!  Once the data is cleaned up, the cube will process.

Please read up here as it might help you out.

Cheers
