Data viewing differently in Cube compared to relational data

  • I have the following (example data) in the star schema

    Pupil Date Fact3

    8163 April 2008 NULL

    44968 April 2008 NULL

    When it is viewed in the cube you see

    Pupil Date Fact3

    8163 April 2008 0

    44968 April 2008 0

    It includes these records in my counts. I dont understand how they are appearing in the cube. Is there any way I can omit from the cube. I have tried reprocessing the cube etc but no joy.

  • Take a look at the properties on the measure that you defined in the cube. If you look at the source and expand that, what do you have the NullProcessing value set to? This could explain why it is converting the null values in the data to zeroes in the cube.

    You might want to set this to Preserve if you are using SSAS 2005.

    Take a look at this article and search for Null Processing - Handling Data Integrity Issues in Analysis Services 2005
