In any case, the 17.94 is out of order. The next figure after the 6's should be 12.

EDIT: The MDX Query:
WITH
SET OrderedItems2 AS ASSP.BottomCountWithTies(
NonEmpty([Item].[Item ID].[Item ID].Members, [Measures].[Revenue]),
5, [Measures].[Revenue])
SELECT
{[Measures].[Revenue]} ON COLUMNS
,{
OrderedItems2

} ON ROWS

FROM [ItemPurchase]
WHERE ([Time].[Month].[Month].&[2013-02-01T00:00:00])
Comments: ** Comment from web user: dtroyz **

BTW, The following MDX is giving the correct results, so it might be a workaround:

WITH
SET OrderedItems_WithoutTies AS BottomCount(
NonEmpty([Item].[Item ID].[Item ID].Members, [Measures].[Revenue]),
5, [Measures].[Revenue])
SET OrderedItems1 AS Filter(
NonEmpty([Item].[Item ID].[Item ID].Members, [Measures].[Revenue]),
[Measures].[Revenue] <=MAX(OrderedItems_WithoutTies , [Measures].[Revenue])
)

SET OrderedItems2 AS ORDER( OrderedItems1 , [Measures].[Revenue], BASC)

SELECT
{[Measures].[Revenue]}ON COLUMNS
, {OrderedItems2} ON ROWS
FROM [ItemPurchase]
WHERE ([Time].[Month].[Month].&[2013-02-01T00:00:00])

Sure. I've edited the ticket.
I don't why it formatted it that way.

Thanks for reporting this. We'll have to look into this.

Can you provide your MDX query. I just want to check that there's not some small mistake in your query such as a filter only being applied to the Revenue number returned on screen but not to the revenue number passed into the ASSP function.

I had a look at the code (for TopCountWithTiesInternal). I think you'll be better off just sorting the set.
If you're worried about the performance, you can:
1. Use selection algorithm to get the top K - O(N)
2. Get the top K using the pivot you for from step 1
3. Sort them in O(k log k)
4. Search the rest of the (N-K) elements beyond the pivot for the same value as the top K'th element to get all the ties. - O(N-K)

<p>Microsoft.AnalysisServices.xmla.dll is not available on my pc. I have win 7 with SQL 2008 SP1 (dev edition) and I can't find the dll anyware, even using the win 7 unhelpful search tool.Where can I get this resource so I can experiment with the ASSP project?Thanks,Gary</p>

Comments: ** Comment from web user: pavanbarnala **

I mean setting SpecificVersion=true in the project file did the trick. I opened the solution in 2010 premium and added 2008 assemblies whichever was giving error and i was able to build successfully.
Thanks again

Created Issue: Add new method: FindCurrentTupleFilter [32662]

furmangg — Fri, 04 May 2012 02:43:12 GMT

We are currently using the FindCurrentTuple as a means to get the where clause of an MDX query that we send to SSRS as an SSAS Action of Type URL. This is done so that we can create detailed SSRS "Drill through" reports which are returned to the user with
the context based on where the user clicked in Excel while browsing a cube.

The problem is that Excel has a limitation on Action URL length, this is a known issue, http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/et-EE/excel/thread/dfdcb8c8-9e2d-4b31-b4bb-f15908dbcf86

As a work around we have modified the method to exclude user defined hierarchies and measures from the tuple since they are redundant in terms of what is returned based on the where clause. This makes a significant difference in URL length.

Would it be possible to include something like this in ASSP? Perhaps the current FindCurrentTuple method could have a parameter to include/ exclude user defined hierarchies and/or measures. Also see the post below which is similar to our requirement.

Thank you for all your work done in this project.

Currently we are using:

public static string FindCurrentTupleFilter() { string output = "("; Boolean addcomma = false;
foreach (Dimension d in Context.CurrentCube.Dimensions) { // skip measures
if (d.DimensionType == DimensionTypeEnum.Measure) continue;
foreach (Hierarchy h in d.AttributeHierarchies) { //skip user defined hierarchies
if (h.HierarchyOrigin == HierarchyOrigin.UserHierarchy) continue;
if ((d.DimensionType == DimensionTypeEnum.Measure || h.CurrentMember.UniqueName != h.DefaultMember) //&& h.HierarchyOrigin == HierarchyOrigin.AttributeHierarchy //&& h.CurrentMember.UniqueName.Contains("[All]")
!= true ) { if (addcomma
== false) addcomma = true; else
output += ",";
output += h.CurrentMember.UniqueName; } }
} output += ")";
return output; }

Commented Issue: Error retrieving Meta data - invocation.Object reference not set to an instance of an object [32383]

palashaich — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 10:34:04 GMT

I was trying to get some Meta data information like SQL Column, DisplayFolder, and Translations of attributes and getting an error. Looks like for some places where we did not set DisplayFolder / Translation value for that getting errors. Is there a work around for this?

Statement:
call
assp.discoverxmlmetadata("Database\Dimensions\Dimension\Attributes\Attribute|Name,AttributeHierarchyDisplayFolder,Translations,EstimatedCount\NameColumn\Source")

Error:
Execution of the managed stored procedure discoverxmlmetadata failed with the following error: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.Object reference not set to an instance of an object..
Internal error: An unexpected exception occurred.

Thanks,
Palash
Comments: ** Comment from web user: palashaich **

Thank You Dgosbell! I was looking for the DimensionName in cube and the SQL table behind the dimensions. Attribute name and the SQL column behind it, Display folder, visibility, translations and the same for all measures / measure groups. Please let me know once you fix this or if you come across a work around to get all of these in a single query.

Hi Palash, sorry for the delay. I did start looking at this, but a number of other priorities have take precedence so I thought I should give you a quick update.

There are 2 issues here 1 is that Translations is not a single attribute. There is a whole hierarchy of elements under Translations and changing the code to accommodate flattening out intermediate structures like this would be quite difficult. The only work around I can think of at the moment would be to look at 2 queries, maybe via a linked server to get the name column source and translation information separately and then join them in your reporting layer.

The other information is the AttributeHiearchyDisplayFolder - this is an optional property and the current code builds the structure of the resultset based on the first object it finds, so if an optional property does not have a value in the first object it never generates a column for this. I will need to look at the code to see if I can fix this.

furmangg — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 20:42:29 GMT

from fpatou:
Just to give me feedback we have resolved this by a modification of the FindCurrentTuple() method by adding AMOHelpers.GetCurrentCubeName():

public static string FindCurrentTuple()
{
string output = "(";
Boolean addcomma = false;
foreach (Dimension d in Context.Cubes[AMOHelpers.GetCurrentCubeName()].Dimensions)
{
foreach (Hierarchy h in d.AttributeHierarchies)
{
if (d.DimensionType == DimensionTypeEnum.Measure || h.CurrentMember.UniqueName != h.DefaultMember)
{
if (addcomma == false)
addcomma = true;
else
output += ",";
output += h.CurrentMember.UniqueName;
}
}
}
output += ")";
return output;
}

I receive following exception using ASSP.GetCubeLastProcessedDate() in AS 2008 R2

Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

It seems that function still refers to AS 2005 assembly.

I apologize. There was another version of ASSP in the database that overwrites the ASSP on server level.
Please close the issue.

Commented Issue: windows 7, sql server 2008 R2 enterprise, cannot see any of your methods [31203]

bigdave1971 — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 21:15:14 GMT

i have some very strange behaviour.

running windows 7 with sql server 2008 r2 enterprise.

when i deploy an assembly (one that i have built) to the as instance i can only use methods that have either no parameters or only have base type parameters.

so i thought i'd give your project ago, and i cannot see any of you methods.

any ideas?

many thanks.

dave.

I'm running the same sort of configuration and it works fine for me. So I don't think it's a Win7 or 2008 R2 issue. Can you post an example of a query or statement that is not working for you? Have you tried downloading the pre-compiled assembly and seeing if that works any differently?
