[Live connection on SSAS MD] Dimension calculated members issue
Hi,
I'm trying to display dimension calculated members created in SSAS MD.
As stated here:
It works fine when the dimension has a single attribute.
I can't make it work when the dimension has more than one attribute.
For example, this member added to the AdventureWorks cube does not display in PBI:
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Date].[Month of Year].[LastDate]
AS TAIL(
NONEMPTY(
[Date].[Date].[Date]
,[Measures].[Sales Amount]
)
,1
).Item(0), VISIBLE=1 ;
Am I missing something ?
Thanks.

- SpoilerHi,
I'm trying to display in Power BI a dimension calculated member created in SSAS MD.
It works fine when the dimension has a single attribute.
But it should also work if the dimension has several attributes as stated here:
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-ssas-multidimensional/#capabilities-and-features-of-ssas-md
=> must be a single real member when the dimension has more than one attribute
Whatever i'm trying, it is not working.
For exemple, adding this member in the AdventureWorks cube does not work on the Power BI side:CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Date].[Month of Year].[LastDateDesVentes]
AS TAIL(
NONEMPTY(
[Date].[Date].[Date]
,[Measures].[Sales Amount]
)
,1
).Item(0), VISIBLE=1 ;
Am i missing something ?
Thanks. Hi dabratt,
The issue in your scenario should be the [Date].[Date].[Date] is a key attribute. Please verify it on SSAS side.
As from here:
- Dimension Calculated Members (must be a single real member when the dimension has more than one attribute, it cannot be the key attribute of the dimension unless it is the only attribute, and it cannot be a parent-child attribute)

Yes, [Date].[Date].[Date] is a key attribute.
It works fine when it is the only one attribute in the dimension.
If I add another attribute and attach the calculted member to it, I don't see it on the PowerBI side.

Dabratt.
