I have a headline stat drilling into a separate report showing table data for that stat.
Headline Stat: # of Widgets
Filterable by in Dashboard:
Widget Category
Date (Timeline)
App Store Status
Drills into a report showing: Widget Name, Widget Developer, Widget Description, Date (Submitted)
The drill into report is filtered correctly by widget category but NOT by the timeline filter. It’s showing Widget info across all submission dates. The headline stat for my applied dashboard filters is showing 7 Widgets, however the drill in report is showing a much larger group. However, I want the dashboard filters including the timeline dimension to apply to the Drill Across report. I cannot change the drill-in report to display based on Date (Timeline) - the report says it’s not available for the data I selected.
Drilling into the reports can be dependant on a few different things, and if you are unable to select the date filter it is most likely related to the fact that the date dimension is not connected to the other objects used in the report within the Logical Data Model. You will need to make sure the dataset is connected accordingly within the LDM.
If the date dimension is connected and used correctly within the metrics and you are still not seeing your desired results, then I would suggest the following:
Check project validation
Make sure all filters are applied correctly
If you are still facing issues, there are some MAQL tricks you can use when working with filters within your metric. For example, using Parent Keywords.

So my problem here is that I have a Part number which lives in two warehouses hence it has two bin locations. If I just use =Fields!PrimBin.Value it only ever returns the first location. I need to display the PrimBin if the location is from a specific warehouse. To get the warehouse I use =Fields!WarehouseCode.value
What I need to do is only show the PrimBin.Value of MAINWHSE and not CELLWHSE
Thanks in advance.
Ok so the database it quite vast. However, for the information required I am using two tables. Part and PimWhse.
Part shares the Product ID to PrimWhse. In PrimWhse each partID has two locations "MAINWHSE", "CELLWHSE "and 1 bin to pick in each warehouse giving to possible locations.
So WarehouseCode.Value will have the information for which warehouse the part is located. and PrimBin.Value will have the warehouse position ID stored in it.
This is all setup via report style within the Epicor system. When I create a query in business activity to look in MAINWHSE it shows the correct information.
However, in the report data builder I'm not able to set this query so I assume SSRS will be able to see of both theses possible values for PrimBin.Value!? If not I guess I need to work out how to add a query to report data builder, which at the moment does no seem possible?
Thanks again.
I am creating a Dashboard using as a visualization a heat map. Everything was OK until I changed the parameters of my metric, the chart disappeared and I've got this message: 'Filter excludes all data'
The only modification that I've done is to set the Include Distinct Elements to true within the Count Parameter option of the metric.
What could be happening?. Do I need to set another parameter to get the count of distinct elements that I need?
Regards.
surely the metric is level with some attribute that is not inside the visualization, if the filter has date for example, include it in the visualization.
"Filter Excludes All data" is a default warning message that you will get in MicroStrategy when a reports/visuals/dashboards does not return any data.

There are n number of reasons for a report which cannot return data, please check the following steps to debug the issue,
As per your first image it shows a date range as filter, after you have changed to "Include only distinct" this date range might get affected so please put the objects in grid and apply the date filter and check whether it returns the correct data.
If it returns, check whether all the metrics returns a value.
Check whether candidateID, date and people attributes/metrics are properly related.
These steps will show, where the problem is, still if you could not figure it out export the dashboard and share it with MicroStrategy Tech Support team for debugging.
Hope it helps.
I'm trying to add a new column to my SSAS cube. The column is a date field, and links to my DimDate table (a Date dimension). This date represents the project completion date.
However.... not all of the projects have a project completion date due to old projects not ever being assigned this value. And this is expected. We don't want to put bogus dates into the field just to get SSAS to work.
When processing the cube, it crashes with:
Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key cannot be found when
processing: Table: 'dbo_FactMyTable', Column: 'MyDate_id', Value: '0'.
The attribute is 'Date Id'.
I can't disable "missing values" for the entire project because in most cases, this really is an error. How can I disable missing values for this dimension?
Or is there a better way to handle missing dates/values like this?
Small correction - based on your question, you need to change Processing error handling for special Measure Group, not Dimension. You can do it for all dimensions linked to some measure group, but not to specific dimension.
You can process individual measure group with _Table: 'dbo_FactMyTable'_ first with necessary missing value settings, and then - process rest of your cube with default settings.
Main problem here - how to process rest of the cube. You might have sophisticated system which creates processing XMLA scripts dynamically based on data update knowledge (I do it with SSIS); in this case you would not ask this question. Suppose your environment is simpler - you update cube and would like to process it as a whole completely. In such scenario I would sudgest the following workflow:
Process Default all Dimensions (will do initial processing or in structure changes)
Process Update all Dimensions
Process Cube with Unprocess - invalidating it
Process your special measure group
Process Cube with Process Default
This will first update Dimensions, then - clear processing status flag from all measure groups in the Cube. After that you process your measure group with special flags; this set processing status for this MG. And then during Process Default on Cube - only unprocessed MGs will be covered, which excludes your special MG from processing scope.
The answer is a bit complicated, but this article did a great job of explaining it, including screen shots for the SSAS-challenged like me.

Just a bit of background info:
I have dimension table which uses SCD2 to track user changes in our company (team changes, job title changes etc) See example below:
I've built an Analysis Services Cube and created all the necessary hierarchy's for the dimensions and it works well when navigating and drilling down through the fact table.
The problem I have is with the filters on the PerformancePoint dashboard. As I'm using the User Dimension table with it's multiple instances of users it's showing duplicates up in the list. I can understand why as the surrogate ID is being referenced on the Dimension. But if I choose the first instance of the A-team I will see all their sales for a particular period and if I choose the second instance I will see all their sales for a different period.
What is the best way to handle this type of behavior? Ideally I'd like to see a distinct list of teams in alphabetical order and when I choose the team name it shows all of their data over time.
I've considered using MDX query filters but I'd like to see if there's anything I haven't thought about.
I realise this isn't an easy and quick question but any help would be appreciated!
The answer was simple after having a trawl through my User Dimension table on the Cube.
Under my user dimension I added 2 duplicate attributes to my attributes list ("Team Filter" is a copy of "Team", "User Filter" a copy of "User Name") these will be used only for filtering the dashboard.
Under the attribute properties for each duplicate I then set AttributeHierarchyOptimizedState to "Not Optimized", I also set their AttributeHierarchyVisible to false as I'd shown the two duplicate attributes in the hierarchy window in the middle.
Deploy your Cube to the server and go in to PerformancePoint. Create a new MDX Filter (this image shows the finished filter)
This is the code I used, it only shows dimension members which have a fact against them (reduces the list a considerable amount) and by using allmembers at the dimension it also gives me the option to show "All" at the top of the list.
Deploy the new filters and now you can see the distinct list of users and teams, works perfectly and selects every instance (regardless of the SCD2 row)
I am new to Qlikview and after several failed attempts I have to ask for some guidance regarding charts in Qlikview. I want to create Line chart which will have:
One dimension – time period of one month broke down by days in it
One expression – Number of created tasks per day
Second expression – Number of closed tasks per day
Third expression – Number of open tasks per day
This is very basic example and I couldn’t find solution for this, and to be honest I think I don’t understand how I should setup my time period dimension and expression. Each time when I try to introduce more then one expression things go south. Maybe its because I have multiple dates or my dimension is wrong.
Here is my simple data:
http://pastebin.com/Lv0CFQPm
I have been reading about helper tables like Master Callendar or “Date Island” but I couldn’t grasp it. I have tried to follow guide from here: https://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-8642 but that only worked for one date (for me at least).
How should I setup dimension and expression on my chart, so I can count the ID field if Created Date matches one from dimension and Status is appropriate?
I have personal edition so I am unable to open qwv files from other authors.
Thank you in advance, kind regards!
My solution to this would be to change from a single line per Call with associated dates to a concatenated list of Call Events with a single date each. i.e. each Call will have a creation event and a resolution event. This is how I achieve that. (I turned your data into a spreadsheet but the concept is the same for any data source.)
Calls:
LOAD Type,
Id,
Priority,
'New' as Status,
date(floor(Created)) as [Date],
time(Created) as [Time]
FROM
[Calls.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1) where Created>0;
LOAD Type,
Id,
Priority,
Status,
date(floor(Resolved)) as [Date],
time(Resolved) as [Time]
FROM
[Calls.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1) where Resolved>0;
Key concepts here are allowing QlikView's auto-conatenate to do it's job by making the field-names of both load statements exactly the same, including capitalisation. The second is splitting the timestamp into a Date and a time. This allows you to have a dimension of Date only and group the events for the day. (In big data sets the resource saving is also significant.) The third is creating the dummy 'New' status for each event on the day of it's creation date.
With just this data and these expressions
Created = count(if(Status='New',Id))
Resolved = count(if(Status='Resolved',Id))
and then
Created-Resolved
all with full accumulation ticked for Open (to give you a running total rather than a daily total which might go negative and look odd) you could draw this graph.
For extra completeness you could add this to the code section to fill up your dates and create the Master Calendar you spoke of. There are many other ways of achieving this
MINMAX:
load floor(num(min([Date]))) as MINTRANS,
floor(num(max([Date]))) as MAXTRANS
Resident Calls;
let zDateMin=FieldValue('MINTRANS',1);
let zDateMax=FieldValue('MAXTRANS',1);
//complete calendar
Dates:
LOAD
Date($(zDateMin) + IterNo() - 1, '$(DateFormat)') as [Date]
AUTOGENERATE 1
WHILE $(zDateMin)+IterNo()-1<= $(zDateMax);
Then you could draw this chart. Don't forget to turn Suppress Zero Values on the Presentation tab off.
But my suggestion would be to use a combo rather than line chart so that the calls per day are shown as discrete buckets (Bars) but the running total of Open calls is a line
