I'm working on the PAX IBM Planning Analytics (moved from using Perspectives).
Is there a way to do a cube report (custom report/any cube report) and have it exported to a new "book" instead of a "new sheet in the existing book".
It get's a bit frustrating having multiple workbooks open and not realizing where the cube viewer exported the view.
Thanks, Gem
I don't get your issue.
It's possible to make active report in PAX easily. The best way is to create a cube view from the cube that you want and make a report based on this cube. I can help you if you give me more information about what you're try to do.

I am new to Quicksight and trying to change the dataset for a cloned visual.
I have created one analysis in AWS Quicksight which contains 6 different datasets from the same Datasource. See below:
There are two tabs (report 1 / report 2) in the analysis. I have cloned the below visual with Dataset: "Arora Waterfalls Website..." from Report 2 to Report 1.
But when I try to change the dataset from "Arora Waterfalls Website..." to "Arora All Webinar..." for the cloned visual in Report 1, the visual gets unselected and when I click on it shows the same dataset again: "Arora - Waterfalls Website...":
To conclude, is there any way that we can change the dataset for a cloned visual in QuickSight?
You cannot change a dataset for a visual after it has been added to the Analysis.
You will need to select the dataset you want to use, add a new visual and rebuild the chart as required.
A second suggestion: looking at your data sets, you seem to be pulling in different views/tables into multiple different datasets from one data source. If possible I recommend combining the different tables into one dataset, joining them together during ingestion. This will give you more flexibility duplicating views. Working with multiple datasets has number of limitations. This will help avoid the problem you are having trying to duplicate a visual.
I've a task wherein I'm required to work with Microsoft Word document and database. Basically the word document has numerous charts that are created by users in two steps, first is to prepare charts in excel, then take screenshot and paste in Word document. It's tedious process as it requires re-doing charts anytime someone wants to do what-if simulations.
When I insert a chart in Word, the underlying data comes from Excel Sheet which I am able to fetch from database as 1 time operation, but it's not productive that much as users will have to open excel sheet, refresh data in sheet manually.
I tried to find different solutions but I'm blank as it's totally new work for me, there are elementary examples suggesting VSTO but I couldn't find more detailed examples specifically for charts like the scenario I've.
Has anyone tackled similar issue? If so please advise. I'm open to use either VSTO, OpenXML or even R packages that can help to auto-generate word document with updated charts.
Thank you.
I found solution by using R, it satisfies what I was looking for. A related task and steps are in my other question are here!
I'm currently working with BIRT and I am having problems trying to create a report with multiple data sources and data sets.
For example, let's say I have a wizard. This wizard allows the user to graphically select data sources in a list. After selecting a few data sources and finishing the wizard, I would like the report to be rendered with the selected data sources.
I have tried a few thing such as adding data sources/sets to an ElementFactory object, but that does not seem to work.
Does anyone know of where I can find documentation on this sort of thing? Possibly some pointers?
Thanks.
I'm trying to determine how exactly to convert SSRS reports to Word docs and have them sent to the Sharepoint doc library. From my research, all I could gather was that it's all part of SS Integration Services, but little else. I'm not using report builder, but Visual Studio.
Any help here would be highly appreciated.
Thank you! :)
I assume what you would like to do is have the report run, and the results be exported to a file location?
If so, its not too difficult. I used this as a starting point:
http://weblogs.asp.net/srkirkland/archive/2007/10/29/exporting-a-sql-server-reporting-services-2005-report-directly-to-pdf-or-excel.aspx
I was able to create a simple WinForms app that upon a button click would run a report and save the results as a PDF to a file location.
I am not familiar with the Sharepoint doc library. So I'm not sure if you export the results as Word doc to the file location which holds the documents if it will auto-magically show up in the list.
Does anyone know of a way to "extract" the formulas for all calculated members of a cube into some kind of flat, readable file? Alternatively, a less-painful method of getting an overview of the code than using Analysis Services' Cube Editor and clicking on each Calculated Member would be helpful. Yes, I'm new to MDX. Many thanks!
This is what "Registered User" was referring to - but it won't answer your question if I'm understanding it correctly.

Fortunately, if I understand your question correctly, there is a very simple solution. When you are using BIDS against your cube, on the "Calculated Members" tab, click on the 12th icon from the left which is "Script View" - I think this is what you are looking for.

If you are connecting to the OLAP cube via an Excel pivot table, then you can use the Olap Tools -> Convert to Formulas feature to expose the underlying cube formulas. I would recommend doing it for the smallest possible data because Excel will issue a large number of discovery requests to the OLAP server. Please note I don't have any calculated measures, so I couldn't test if it actually does this...
