  • Thinking in DAX (#powerpivot and #bism)

    - by Marco Russo (SQLBI)
    Last week Alberto published an interesting post about Counting Products in the Current Status with PowerPivot . Starting from a question raised from a reader, Alberto described how to solve a common issue (let me know the “current status” of each item at a given point in time starting from a transactions table) by using a single DAX formula. I suggest you to read his post to understand the technical details of that. What is inspiring of this example is that we can look at Vertipaq and DAX from several...(read more)

  • Some services refusing to start on Win 7 machine. What could the root cause be?

    - by BombDefused
    When I check msconfig, there are no services that are blocked from starting up. When I look in services.msc, the problem services have a start up type of 'Automatic', but have a blank space where others will show 'Started'. Attempting to start them manually results in the following pop up error messages. I have no idea what's causing this, looks like some sort of cascade effect from another problem service. It's affecting scheduled tasks, SQL server agent and windows back up services. How can I resolve this? I don't know how to work out what the root cause is. Task Scheduler Service Start Error: "Windows could not start the Task Scheduler service on local computer. 1068: The dependecy service or group failed to start. SQL Server Service Start Error: "The SQL Server Agent service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs." UPDATE: I've just noticed some other services have a description of "Failed to Read Description. Error Code: 2" They are: NetMsmqActivator, NetPipeActivator, NetTcpActivator, NetTcpPortSharing UPDATE 2: As joeqwerty says the Event Log service does seem to be the root of the problem. This service will not start either. It fails with 'Error 31 - A device attached to the system is not functioning correctly'. I've tried detaching all devices. I've also followed the advice here, where the same problem is described, but with no luck: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itprosecurity/thread/44479c49-55e6-4bd7-b25e-3f2a6497306e Update 3 @ Pacey - The following was a good tip, really clear instruction. However, I found that those reg keys do not exist on my system. "Your Problem might also derive from the UpperFilter or LowerFilter Settings of the CDROM Drive. These are a known cause for Errorcode 31. You can find step-by-step instructions on removing the filters on about.com" I followed the advice through to checking every component in device manager separately, but everything is reported as working correctly!? These services did all work at one point. The hardware set up hasn't changed much. Guess I'm looking at a repair install maybe???!

  • ALL, ALLEXCEPT and VALUES in DAX

    - by Marco Russo (SQLBI)
    When you use CALCULATE in DAX you are creating a new filter context for the calculation, based on the existing one. There are a few functions that are used to clear or preserve a column filter. These functions are: ALL – it can be used with one or more columns from a table, or with the name of a table. It returns all the values from the column(s) or all the rows from the table, ignoring any existing filter context. In other words, ALL clear an existing filter context on columns or table. We can use...(read more)

  • Education and Career Resources from Microsoft and the Community

    - by KKline
    Sometimes I'm timely in getting the news out on useful resources. And, other times, I'm a bit slower on the draw. As I told my friends back at New Year's Day, "As an official member of the Procrastinators Club, welcome to 2008!" On the other hand, it's always good to remind folks of great resources that are still available and on the shelf. Why? Well, the Internet hits us with such a deluge of constantly new material, that we often forget about the old(ish) stuff that's still really useful. Darth...(read more)

  • Débat : Comment se préparer à participer à un projet Open Source important comme par exemple le serv

    Bonjour, Pour quelques besoins que j'ai de passage rapide en JEE 6, et parce que je pense que l'expérience est intéressante, je crois devoir intervenir sur le code source de Glassfish v3, encore jeune. Mais il y a loin de la coupe aux lèvres. Et si j'ai pu télécharger l'environnement et le compiler pour me faire ma propre distribution binaire, cela ne fait certainement pas de moi un développeur digne d'intégrer une communauté constituée de membres solides. Ceux-là n'ont pas à se perdre avec de nouveaux arrivants, néophytes, qui adopteraient par leur méconnaissance des comportements brutaux. C'est bien ce que je veux éviter. Le projet Glassfish est important, il est sur java.net. Mais d'autres tout aussi ambitieux exis...

  • How to Get the Folder Name of USB Disk?

    - by Kate Moss' Open Space
    When an USB Disk plugs into CE/Mobile based device, how do you know the folder name of the mounting point? Usually, it should be "USB Disk" but it is really depends on how OS image builder; they may change the folder name for whatever reason. FindFirstFlashCard looks simple and promising, the drawback is it only available on Windows Mobile. In fact, these find flash card API set will enumerate all of the mountable file system which includes SD card, CF and etc that we don't expect to get. So I am going to introduce you another way via Storage Manager. Here is the steps.

  • Excel 2013 Data Explorer and GeoFlow make 3-D maps quick and easy

    - by John Paul Cook
    Excel add-ins Data Explorer and GeoFlow work well together, mainly because they just work. Simple, fast, and powerful. I started Excel 2013, used Data Explorer to search for, examine, and then download latitude-longitude data and finally used GeoFlow to plot an interactive 3-D visualization. I didn’t use any fancy Excel commands and the entire process took less than 3 minutes. You can download the GeoFlow preview from here . It can also be used with Office 365. Start by clicking the DATA EXPLORER...(read more)

  • La multiplication anarchique des applications est un problème majeur pour 74 % des DSI, les applications sous-utilisées aussi, d'après HP

    La multiplication anarchique des applications est un problème majeur Pour 74% des DSI, les applications sous-utilisées aussi, d'après HP HP vient de publier une étude qui montre que la multiplication anarchique des applications est un problème majeur des organisations européennes. Un problème qui accapare, pour la maintenance, des ressources qui pourraient être mieux consacrées et allouées à l'innovation. Deuxième conclusion de ce rapport, un DSI européen sur deux estime être empêché par les métiers de conduire des initiatives de modernisation des applications, par crainte des risques associés au changement. D'après cette étude, les portefeuilles applicatifs sont en...

  • Justice : Apple s'attaque à Android 4.1 dans un deuxième procès contre Samsung

    Justice : Apple s'attaque directement à Android 4.1 Dans un deuxième procès qui l'oppose à Samsung Combien de fois avons-nous lu, dans certains commentaires de nos articles qui traitent des procès qu'Apple intente aux constructeurs qui lancent des modèles sous Android, que Google et son OS mobile n'étaient pas visés ? Nous avions beau expliquer que c'était bien Android qui était dans la ligne de mire d'Apple (ce qui est d'ailleurs l'analyse de Google), pour certains, nous ne faisions qu'extrapoler pour jeter le doute dans l'esprit des développeurs de cette plateforme. Que ceux-là veuillent bien nous excuser. Apple assigne aujourd'hui Android 4.1 en justice. ...

    Hadopi : le code de ses logiciels sécuritaires sera totalement open-source, de quoi ouvrir la porte aux éditeurs La Hadopi vient de donner sa première conférence de presse de 2011. Son secrétaire général, Eric Walter, y a fait une annonce importante à propos des "logiciels de sécurisation" que l'Etat demandera prochainement aux internautes d'installer sur leurs machines, professionnels comme particuliers. Ces programmes seront différentes pour les SI et les installations domestiques, et ce sont les utilisateurs qui en auront le contrôlé, via notamment trois "journalisations" (enregistrement de l'activité d'un ordinateur sur Internet) différentes : une absence (ne pas créer de journalisation), une en claire et un...

  • Stock Analysis and Moving Average with PowerPivot

    - by Marco Russo (SQLBI)
    One week ago Alberto Ferrari wrote a post about how to do working days calculation in PowerPivot . You might think this is necessary only for accounting department or something like that… but in reality the same techniques are really useful to implement calculations that might be useful when you want to implement some stock analysis using PowerPivot and Excel! As you might know, in PowerPivot it is important having a Dates table containing all the days, without exceptions. But when you manage stock...(read more)

  • Windows 8 Consumer Preview and SkyDrive

    - by John Paul Cook
    SkyDrive integrates very nicely with Windows 8. More on that later. First, let’s discuss using Windows 8 x64 on VirtualBox. Since I wanted to test with x64 and didn’t have a Hyper-V server available, I used VirtualBox. The latest version of VirtualBox does list Windows 8 as a guest operating system choice. The first time I attempted the installation, I chose the experimental Direct3D graphics support. That didn’t work well. After what seemed like FOREVER looking at a completely black screen, I decided...(read more)

  • Is there a canonical source supporting "all-surrogates"?

    - by user61852
    Background The "all-PK-must-be-surrogates" approach is not present in Codd's Relational Model or any SQL Standard (ANSI, ISO or other). Canonical books seems to elude this restrictions too. Oracle's own data dictionary scheme uses natural keys in some tables and surrogate keys in other tables. I mention this because these people must know a thing or two about RDBMS design. PPDM (Professional Petroleum Data Management Association) recommend the same canonical books do: Use surrogate keys as primary keys when: There are no natural or business keys Natural or business keys are bad ( change often ) The value of natural or business key is not known at the time of inserting record Multicolumn natural keys ( usually several FK ) exceed three columns, which makes joins too verbose. Also I have not found canonical source that says natural keys need to be immutable. All I find is that they need to be very estable, i.e need to be changed only in very rare ocassions, if ever. I mention PPDM because these people must know a thing or two about RDBMS design too. The origins of the "all-surrogates" approach seems to come from recommendations from some ORM frameworks. It's true that the approach allows for rapid database modeling by not having to do much business analysis, but at the expense of maintainability and readability of the SQL code. Much prevision is made for something that may or may not happen in the future ( the natural PK changed so we will have to use the RDBMS cascade update funtionality ) at the expense of day-to-day task like having to join more tables in every query and having to write code for importing data between databases, an otherwise very strightfoward procedure (due to the need to avoid PK colisions and having to create stage/equivalence tables beforehand ). Other argument is that indexes based on integers are faster, but that has to be supported with benchmarks. Obviously, long, varying varchars are not good for PK. But indexes based on short, fix-length varchar are almost as fast as integers. The questions - Is there any canonical source that supports the "all-PK-must-be-surrogates" approach ? - Has Codd's relational model been superceded by a newer relational model ?

  • Analysing SQLBits Feedback

    - by jamiet
    Earlier this week I received all the feedback that people offered on my session at SQLBits 7 in York – “SSIS Dataflow Performance Tuning” (the video is available online if you wish to see it). As you may have gathered from previous posts on this blog and my less-SQLy-focused Wordpress blog I am a big fan of collecting and tracking both personal and public data and session feedback lends itself very well to tracking because it is quantitative rather than qualitative; by that I mean attendees are invited to provide marks out of ten rather than (or, in the case of SQLBits, as well as) written comments. The SQLBits feedback is also useful because they use a consistent format – the same questions are asked each time – this means it is particularly easy to to track whether the scores that people give are trending up or down. I suspect that somewhere the SQLBits organisers have a big Analysis Services cube (ok, perhaps its an Excel pivot table) that allows them to analyse these scores per conference, speaker, track etc.… and there’s no reason that we as session speakers cannot do the same thing. To that end I have started to store my feedback in an Excel spreadsheet of my own which in the interests of transparency is available for public viewing (only a web browser required) on SkyDrive at http://cid-550f681dad532637.office.live.com/view.aspx/Public/Misc/Personal%20SQLBits%20Session%20Feedback.xlsx. I have used a pivot table to aggregate all that feedback and here is a screenshot: I am hereby making a public plea to the SQLBits organisers (on the off-chance that they are reading) to please continue to keep the feedback format consistent in the future and I encourage them to publish all of the feedback in an anonymised form. I would also encourage anyone doing conference speaking to track their conference feedback in the same way that I am doing so that you get an insight into whether or not you are improving over time. It is not difficult to setup and maintaining it as you do more sessions takes very little effort. Storing feedback data like this leads me to wider thoughts about well-known conventions and data format standardisation. Let’s imagine a utopia where there were a standard set of questions for capturing session feedback that were leveraged at every conference regardless of subject matter, location or culture; that would give rise to immense cross-conference and cross-discipline analysis – the data analyst in me goes giddy at the thought of it. It is scenarios like this that drive my interest both in data formats such as iCalendar, microformats and RDF, and in emerging movements such as the semantic web and linked data, all things which I have written about in the past. I don’t know whether we will ever reach the stage where every piece of data has structured, descriptive metadata associated with it but I live in hope. @Jamiet
