Anoying bug...

Hello,
I have a report which used AS as a source. I have a report parameter and a
dataset with the following query:
="with
Member [Measures].[BGBNLUniqueName] as
'[Product].[Concern].currentmember.UniqueName'
member [Measures].[BGBNLDisplayName] as 'IIF(
[Product].[Concern].Currentmember.level is [Product].[Concern].[PD], ""All
Business Groups"", [Product].[Concern].Currentmember.Name)'
set [Products] as ' {[Product].[Concern].[Sub Region].&[BNL].&[3400],
[Product].[Concern].[Sub
Region].&[BNL].&[3400].&[6918],[Product].[Concern].[Sub
Region].&[BNL].&[3400].&[6919],[Product].[Concern].[Sub
Region].&[BNL].&[3400].&[6920]} ' "
& IIF( Parameters!Product_BG.Label = "All Business Groups",
"Set [ChosenProducts] as ' Filter( [Products],
[Product].[Concern].currentmember.name = ""3400 Consumer Electronics"")'",
"Set [ChosenProducts] as ' Filter( [Products],
[Product].[Concern].currentmember.name = " & Parameters!Product_BG.Label &
")' ") & "
select { [Measures].[BGBNLUniqueName] , [Measures].[BGBNLDisplayName] } on
columns,
{ [ChosenProducts] } on rows
from [EDWH_SMRT_VIRT_SALESOUT]"
I have tested this in the mdx sample application and in order to work the
Parameter has to be enclosed by double quotes. When I do that I always get
the errormessage from AS that the value from the parameter is not enclosed
with double quotes.
Any Ideas? How can I escape the double quote?
Regards,
QI think the third part of the expression should be this:
& IIF( Parameters!Product_BG.Label = "All Business Groups", "Set
[ChosenProducts] as ' Filter( [Products],
[Product].[Concern].currentmember.name = ""3400 Consumer Electronics"")'",
"Set [ChosenProducts] as ' Filter( [Products],
[Product].[Concern].currentmember.name = """ & Parameters!Product_BG.Label &
""")' ") & "
Note: I have added "" around your parameter string concatenation.

Analysis Services Roles - Dimension Data

Is there a way to assign dimension data member restrictions within AS 2005 Roles to all attribute hierarchies within a dimension

For example we have a dimension with 4 attribute hierarchies :

Office Code

Office Name

Office Group

Office Overseas

Office Code and Office Name roll up to Office Group (within Office Overseas)

We want to restrict certain Active Directory groups to only see their own office data eg Office Code TOR for Office Name Toronto (within Office Group Canada)

When an AD group is assigned to only see Office Code TOR (by using the Role Dimension Data member restrictions)

Then users in this AD group can still see measure data aggregated for all Office Names and Office Groups (though can only see Office Code TOR)

Do restrictions have to applied separately to all attribute hierarchies within a dimension? This will be difficult for us to maintain, since most of our dimensions are type 1 with members moving (eg the office groups change quite frequently)

Has anyone else come across this issue ?

>Then users in this AD group can still see measure data

>aggregated for all Office Names and Office Groups

>(though can only see Office Code TOR)

But the realy see Values for Toronto, not for all the offices, don't they?

I'm not sure I'm 100% clear on the problem you are having. Are you saying the dimension members are appropriately restricted but the totals reflect non-visible members? For example, if you drill down to Office Code you see just TOR. The total for All Office Code is different than the TOR value?

If this is what you are trying to address, take a look at the Visual Totals setting in your dimension data security. By setting this value to True, SSAS calculate the totals based on just those members you have access to.

Thanks,

thanks Bryan

setting the visual totals on the dimension data assignment has resolved this

Analysis Services 2005 Derived Member

Hi,

I can't seem to find any information about creating a derived member in SSAS 2005. I have found a bunch of stuff for 2000. I have some Calculated members that are giving me some performance pains that I was hoping to solve by creating derived members.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

S

WHat is "derived member" ? Neither AS2000 nor AS2005 have such a concept. Can you point out to the information you found, so it will be easier for us to understand what you mean. Or, perhaps, you can describe your scenario in detail, and then this forum might be able to help.|||

I apologize. It was Derived Member.

Here is a link: http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3394681

|||

In this case, the "derived member" discussion in that link is the equivalent of adding named calculations within the DSV of an SSAS 2005 solution.

A named calculation is added to a table (or view) that has been included within a DSV. The named calculation takes an expression (in the SQL dialect of the underlying RDBMS involved) and provides a name for the resulting value. This then becomes another available column within the table from the perspective of the rest of the SSAS solution. Thus, a measure could be built using the named calculation (if it is in a fact table) or an attribute could be created using it (if it is in a dimension table).

HTH,

Dave Fackler
