• SQL Server Merge disparate queries into raw file

  I have a requirement to create a file containing security Index and Index Component data (think Dow Jones Industrial Average and the 30 securities that make up the index).

After that comes the second index and then its components. So, given: index IN1 with COM1, COM2 index IN2 ...Show All

  Hi, I need some support for a MDX problem. We have a cube with a measure, are region (with hierachy, but this doesn't matter at all) and two time dimensions (with the usual hierachies). The business problem is now: You select a date (on any level) from Time1. If you would place the region on rows and Time2 on colums (the days) with nonempty enabled, you would get a number of members back (about 1000 numbers in Time2 per day in Time1). I ...Show All

My solution uses Enterprise Library 2005, so here is one of the errors that reference it (so, I don't think it is custom code related): error MSB3202: The project file "..\..\..\..\..\..\Program Files\Microsoft Enter ...Show All
