Help with error processing cube

  • Hi folks,

    I have the September CTP and am getting the following error while processing a cube.

    Column 9 of the Sales table is Cost which is Decimal(15,2) NOT NULL.

    The internal type of the Cost measure is "double".

    Any ideas???

    "Errors in the back-end database access module. OLE DB was unable to convert a value to the data type requested for column 9. Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurred while processing the 'Sales' partition of the 'Sales' measure group for the 'Sales' cube from the SalesReporting database."

  • Are you using a view for one of the tables involved? I had this problem where I was using a view during prototyping like "SELECT Service_Site, L4_Code FROM Service_Site" as a bridge "table" for a many-to-many relationship. Service_Site was integer and L4_Code was char(2) in both of the related dimension tables. So there should not have been a problem but I was able to resolve the issue by explicitly casting the L4_Code column by changing the view to read "SELECT Service_Site, CAST(L4_Code AS char(2)) AS L4_Code FROM Service_Site".
