The Wrecking Bawl

Destructuring query language, one keyword at a time.


News


I was trying to create an MDX drillthrough this morning in my SSAS 2005 cube, and I got this error:

Errors from the SQL query module: The attribute 'Applicant Name' in the dimension 'Dim Candidate' is outside the granularity of the measure group 'Fact Requisitions' and cannot be returned as a column.

I only got one result from Google for that error message and it wasn't helpful at all.  After trying a million different things with partitions and actions and whatnot, I finally figured out the problem:  I was trying to return drillthrough data from a fact table other than the one containing the default measure.  Once I threw in a measure (in the SELECT part of the query, not the RETURN) from the non-default fact table, everything worked great!
