Hi,
I have created a tabular model in visual studio [Enterprise 2017 version 15.9.04]
I have deployed it to my analytics server.

I want my college [Enterprise 2017 version 15.09.14] to be able to work on the model also, so they have copied over the complete solutions folder onto their own drive and they opened the file and can see the model and the tables - however when they look at the grid [on design view] it says 'does not support preview' and they can not see the data against the tables.

we have tried to rebuild the model on their machine, and refresh, all connections to the source are working. we then tested and imported a new table into their model, when they do this they can see the data for this table. but still nothing for the other tables.

What could we do to help this? If we want to build tabular models in the future, can we not build them on our desktops and deploy them and share the solutions with others to work on, do they have to be on the servers workspace (desktop).

We googled a few suggested solutions: we checked the configuration properties for the solution was tagged so when it was built it would build everything.
We also tried deleting the bin and obj file closing VS and reopening and and rebuilding everything. Can anyone please help?
Thanks,

Dear Experts
We are using CRM application which uses MYSQL database. we have customized the CRM application for our core process therefore the CRM modules marketing, sales and contacts and opportunities are not made use instead we have completely customized, the solution is deployed on premises.
Challenges: to build/develop certain reports which are very much essential for daily operations and monthly reports and analytics. At present we are taking csv dump from crm and preparing it manually by applying formulas,  this is time consuming and resource dependent and as reports are not ready made available therefore end users to depend on the technical resource to export the reports and bring it to the required format and then provided to the end users. We also require analytics from the CRM data.
We are planning to implement SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) and integrate with Power BI for analytics the data source will be CRM application either integrated OR excel as input to the SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) or Power BI.
Please suggest will this approach work for us.

Hi. I have a user trying to connect remotely to our MS SQL 2016 SSAS with SQL Server Management Studio and she receives the following error:


The system cannot contact a domain controller to service the authentication request. Please try again later (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient)

Note that I can connect successfully using another user account (standard domain user) on the same machine and even within the same user session (just using "run as different user").
Also, the same user account can login successfully using SSMS locally on the SQL server (via RDP).

I am trying to get the connection logs on the SQL server but I don't know where to find them.
It's only happening for this user. Do you have any idea?
I would at least need to find the logs on the SQL server.
Thanks.

Cannot establish AdomdConnection in my ASP MVC C# application via the msmdpump.dll at all to connect to my cube

However if i use the same connection strings credentials to log into the Cube via Excel I have no problem.

Its gives me an "Object not set to an instant of an object"

lsConnectionString = "Provider=msolap; Persist Security Info=True; Data Source=\"https://reporting.q88.com\"; Initial Catalog=" + InitialCatalog + "; Cube=" + CubeName + "; User ID=HI\\vmDemo; Password=vmPassword1";

using (AdomdConnection connection = new AdomdConnection(lsConnectionString))
{
         connection.Open();
 }

I tried various logins but still the same result. Any ideas?

I have a long running query because it is reading a very large database.  The issue is there is a string of codes that each have an order number.  There can be as many as 30 on a  line. The order is then matched to another table to get the actual value.  What is the best way to loop through this row to get the codes for all of the 20 values.  This is an SQL statement.

need to to understand the physical structure of an OLAP database. And if I looked into a Oracle database, how can I tell if it's relational or OLAP? Isn't the OLAP data still stored in a table with keys that join to the other tables? I'm having a hard time picturing the structure and then I know querying is different too.

For years I heard these data warehouse jockeys talking about cubes, dimensions, and measures, craftily convincing the IT managers they know what they are talking about, and impressing the users that "this is the thing." But it always confused me. So I watched a few videos today, and the light bulb goes off - "oh, it's a pivot table".

btw, the cube is a nifty visual for a powerpoint presentation, but it's still presented in two-dimensions (piece of paper or a computer screen). Unless you have a 3-D printer I suppose ...

So I got the concept of measures, dimensions, etc., but now need to "get the picture" in what the data actually looks like and how to query it. I know this is bigger than one post here, but that's my objective.

For example, here's my confusion - I was also told today that an OLAP database is NOT relational in essence, it's totally different. In this article, you have
- the time dimension
- the product dimension
- the customer dimension
- the Fact table (total $ sales, quantity, discount)

BUT - don't all the dimension have keys that link it to the fact …

Hi Experts

 

How would you edit the following formula to count only Distinct items nested within the containsrow function...

 

OHA_OHP = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Data),FILTER(Data,Data[CaseType]="Face to Face"), DISTINCTCOUNT(Data[WorkType]),CONTAINSROW({"IMA OHP OffSite","OHP OnSite","IMA Network OHP","OHP Review 30 Minutes", "OHP Case Teleconference call (40 mins)"},Data[WorkType]))

hi,

is it possible to connection Oracle OLAP , Oracle application server, Oracle BI answer and BI server to MS SQL ?

we are thinking about what if we just migrate Oracle DB to MS SQL DB and left the rest untouched.

When communicating with SSAS msmdpump via SOAP requests Analysis services returns with Content-Types that are compressed and in binary XML (Content_type: xs+xpress).

We would like to include an extra layer of abstraction between the client and Analysis services and would like to know if there is a way to have Analysis services send back plain XML or how to read the xs+xpress content-types.

I have an excel 2016 pivot table that is using a data connection to an ssas 2012 Olap cube

When I try to add a timeline slicer I get the dreaded

We can't create a timeline for this report because it doesn't have a field formatted as a date

I do have an order date attribute that is defined as a date field on the dimCalendar table

I have done some research and found some possible causes

one possible issue mentioned is that the field may have blank or invalid dates.
(I double checked this is not the case in my data)

The other was that the field needed to have the

ValueColumn of the date key to use an actual date field from the underlying SQL table.  The KeyColumn is an integer and the NameColumn is WChar.  and to set the ValueColumn to use type Date

I validated this was true as well

Anyone have some other thoughts

I want Excel to prompt me each and every time for credentials each time i try to connect to the cubes. I don't want them saved ever.

Where does that setting live?

All,

I'm getting the following error when I try and process my SQL data cube:

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

How do I correct the issue?
