How To Enable User-Defined Hierarchies in SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS)

  • Article

I have a requirement to provide users with the capability to define their own reporting hierarchies for sales data. For instance they had a report which broke down sales by the four regional VPs then by office. Later they created regions, assigned VPs to each region, then assigned offices to each VP. Now they want to be able to create a number of other scenarios and choose which one when they run a report. Can you provide some suggestions on how to do this?

Question of the Day

The Empty Aggregate

I have this table in a SQL Server 2025 database:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[CustomerOrder]
(
[OrderID] [int] NULL,
[CustomerID] [int] NULL,
[total] [money] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
What is returned from this code? (answers are for the sum and then the count)
SELECT SUM(total) AS sum,
       COUNT(total) AS count
FROM dbo.CustomerOrder;
