Processing of Partitions

  • Hi

    I have recently started using Analysis services. The other day I had to load some data into the

    fact tables and process the cube.

    To my surprise I saw that 'Analysis Services' is showing more rows processed than present in the fact table. I rechecked it again and again but the same result.

    I am a bit confused. If somebody knows please tell me

    What am I missing here???!!!

    Thanks and Regards

  • Am I wrong in assuming that it can never happen?

    If so under what circumstances can it happen?

    Thanks in advance

  • my 2 cents..

    Check your cube schema. Make sure all the dim keys in the fact table(s) are linked to appropriate dimension table keys.

    If the problem persists, try removing dimensions one by one from the cube to find the culprit.

  • Yes, there can be a schema problem.

    After the partition processing complets, extract the query that gets generated and used for partition processing and execute the query from SQL Server DB.

    You will be finding the same number of rows that the partition processing give. Try adding/removing joins between tables and test until you arrive with the number of records that you expect(that equal to the fact).

    That way you will know where in the cube schema/dimension design you got to change.

    Hope that helps...
