I am currently a single BI developer over a corporate datawarehouse and cube. I use SQL Server 2008, SSAS, and SSIS as my basic toolkit. I use Visual Studio +BIDS and TFS for my IDE and source control. I am about to take on multiple projects with an offshore vendor and I am worried about managing change. My major concern is manging merge...

This is a pretty straight forward question that may or may not be possible but, when you create a measure in a SSAS 2005 cube, there is a description property which can be set, which we've been using in the client application that consumes the cube. Is it possible to set this description when you create a calculated member through MDX? ...
Hi all, in the data warehouse there's a default language for the measures, and I added a translation for German captions. In a Visual Studio Report Server project, when creating a query with my German OS, the cube and its measures are displayed in German language. When dragging measures to the mdx query windows, the default measure name...
Hello, I'm new to MDX and have a problem regarding filtering out values from a summation. We want to perform normalization calculations, specifically a quantity (q) divided by a basis (b) to get an Intensity (I). The formula is fairly simple I=q/b. OUR CUBE STRUCTURE: We have fact tables FactQuantity and FactBasis, each of which are ...
Hi, Sorry if the question isn't phrased very well but I'm new to SSAS and don't know the correct terms. I have changed the name of a table and its columns. I am using said table as a dimension for my cube, so now the cube won't process. Presumably I need to make updates in the analysis server to reflect changes to the source database? ...
So I'm basically brand new to the concept of BI, and I've inherited an existing ETL process that is a two step process: Loads the data into a database that is only used by the cube processing Starts off the SSAS cube processing against said database It seems pretty well isolated, but occasionally (once a week, sometimes twice) it wi...
Hello! I have a fact table that has a column with dates loaded from an MS Access source. The thing is, some of the values are NULL and the SSAS won't let me refer my DATE dimension to it. Is it better to solve it at the SSIS stage or is there some solution at the SSAS? Thank you very much for you help. ...
What I want to do: The report parameter that the user can select from is a subset of the data available in a dimension. I have a query to retrieve this subset and it works fine. I am then trying to use the selection as a filter in a dataset. In the dataset properties, you can add a parameter based on the ones you have specified on the...
Hello, I'm working with SQL Server Analysis Services for the first time and have the dilemma of working on a project in which users must be able to access SSAS Cubes (via a custom web dashboard) that live across different servers and domains, but without having access to the other server's SSAS database connection strings. So Organizati...
