I have created a cube in Sql Server Analysis Service. I have a table called Orders which has several columns in which Quantity, Price and Cost are important. I have already added these fields as Measure in the cube and I can see these Measures in DashBoard Designer.
Later, I added three calculated columns as under.
Sales_Amount = Quantity * Price
Cost_Amount = Quantity * Cost
Profit = Quantity * (Price - Cost)
I was also able to add these new calculated columns as Measures in the cube.
Later I deployed the cube but these new Measures are not visible in Dashboard Designer.
I redployed the cube, deleted connection in Dashboard Designer and readded, created a new workspace but nothing helped and I don't have idea what to do.
Help please.

Have you tried to close the Dashboard Designer and reopen it again? I know it sounds like a lame question but we were facing this problem several times and the solution seemed to be completely closing dashboard designer and reopening it again.

I'am new on SSAS cube and i want to find the source table name of a mesure .
I cheked on properties but find nothing;enter image description here
How can I do to find the table that provide this mesure with data please .
Thanks for help
Based on your screen shot:
Cash Register Discrepancy Amount is the measure you are looking for
Cash Register Discrepancy Amount Local is the underlying measure
Now, you need to look for the source of the underlying measure, i.e., Cash Register Discrepancy Amount Local
Using the Adventure Works sample, the Measure Internet Gross Profit uses 2 underlying measures Internet Sales Amount and Internet Total Product Cost.
So, now we will search of this measure, first in Calculation, then in the Cube Structure. We can see the measure under the "Internet Sales", we can now go to the Properties to find the underlying table and column.
Good luck
I have project to build a Cube using Microsoft BI Stack to handle Project Progress reports.
I have issue on how to handle semi additive or cumulative measures.
I now receive monthly or weekly reports that show something like :
Project Original Value
Value Added This Report
Current Project Value (which is Original + Total Value Added Till Now)
For each Project currently present in the Company.
I believe i should design a snapshot type warehouse each row is the report for that project that just arrived.
I am not sure however how to handle the measures of Current Project Value, where its possible for user to know what is Total Value of Projects for a year , which would be the Sum of the Last Reported Value for the projects that came during that year . Or view this measure by Country or Department.
I created a SSAS 2005 cube and connect to it from Excel 2007. I have a measure group sales. The key of the table is receipt no, line no. Now I create a new measure transactions, which is count distinct of receipt no. SSAS 2005 automatically assign the new measure in a separate measure group. The problem is in Excel, sales related measures are now in two measure groups (the sales and newly created one for the transactions). I find it a bit of awkward to go to these two folders to drag these measures since they are requested together a lot.
Is there a way to put these measures in same folder? I know there is a folder property for each measure in BIDS, but that will just create a new folder under existing folder for the measure group. Thanks.
One workaround would be to make your distinct count measure invisible, and to define a calculated measure in the calculation script that is just replicating this invisible measure, and setting its ASSOCIATED_MEASURE_GROUP to the name of the main measure group. The ASSOCIATED_MEASURE_GROUP property of a calculated measure is just use for display purposes, as far as I am aware.
I am trying to create a new row of data like the following:
Line item. Actuals
Total compensation 200
Net revenue 400
Net rev per total comp. 2
I used to be able to do a calculated item to do this in old pivot table but how do I accomplish in powerpivot? It needs to be a row calc not a column
If you are using a ssas cube then it is possible using the calculated member option where you can drag and drop line items (members) and divide which is pretty easy
Just connect to SSAS and Query --> Design in the upper menu you can find a calculator, clicking that you can achieve.
can you just elaborate on database used and excel version
In a windows Server 2008, using SQL server 2005, Visual Studio and SQL Server Analysis Services i created an OLAP Cube.
The scenario is a typical store with sell products, customer and agents.
The cube is made by a fact table tblVendite (sell data) and dimensions based on sql views.
NOTE: I tried embed the screenshot here but they will resized and will not clear so i posted them in a safe site to view it:
SCREENSHOT: stucture of the cube
FACT TABLE tblVendite (sell) > PK: CdArticolo (IDProduct)
DIMENSION Prodotti (produtcs)
DIMENSION Calendario (calendar)
DIMENSION Agenti (agents)
DIMENSION Clienti (customer)
Browsing the cube with basic filters as calendar, customer/agent, products, brand ... all work fine
Now i need to provide a new feature as:
Comparing the "top sell brand" of all company with the sell of each agent to see how he sell those brand
So i did a new table and the related view: vwMarcheOrd (top sell brand)
The table top sell brand is pre-populated by a sp and contain 1 record for each brand (CdMarca - Position - Description order by Position)
NOTE: from vwMarcheOrd i cant have direct link to the fact table because the PK is CdMarca and it's not present so i need to "bridge" the view Products by CdMarca and get the CdArticolo to link the fact table
Dimension and the attributes for Brand and Top Brand:
SCREENSHOT: cube dimension
BROWSE THE CUBE AND THE PROBLEM
Adding the dimension Brand(1) to the row fields the result is correct but if i add the Top Brand(2) is incorrect and many brand are missing (but they exist)
SCREENSHOT: browse Top Brand
So my questions are 2:
What i missing or wrong or misunderstand with the Top Brand Dimension ?
How i can display all records of Top Brand in the row fields even if the agent didnt sell any item of that brand (blank row) ?
p.s. i tried also make a dimension based only with vMarcheOrd and then create a Referenced Relationship with the Product table to bridge CdMarca > CdArticolo > Fact Table but the result are the same
Thanks in advance who can really help me to solve this problem that block me since many days
From what I understand, it looks like the top brand could change over time. This means that you would need to somehow track that over time. In my opnion, the easiest way to do that would be to add the TopBrandKey to the fact table and join the top brand dimension directly to the fact table. This way the time tracking is done for you in the fact table. As new records come in, you would look up the key for the top brand and add that to the fact table. I don't think the way you have it would work because the product which was sold would not have the brand which is the top brand (those are two different things).
ciao luka :)
it seems to me that you don't have the proper attribute relationship between the attributes on your cube.
I see you are using BIDS 2005, which I'm not very familiar with it (it would be easier to help on 2008), but what you have to do is set the relations between Prodoti -> Brand -> top brand
you can do that by those + signs on the attributes bellow the dimension name.
