Usage Note 15482: Querying cube built using star schema fails under certain circumstances

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

The following error message indicates a SAS OLAP cube built using a star schema that contains dimension members that are not part of the fact table:

Data value '.' found in aggregation table xxx is not a valid member of the cube

This message appears when the query contains a calculated measure and requests a member which does not have an entry in the fact table. Below is an example of a query that would generate this message for COUNTRY='CANADA'.

SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[ACTUAL], [Measures].[parallelperiod] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { [Dim_geo].[All Countries].[CANADA].Children } ON ROWS FROM [Cube_prdrolap] WHERE ([Dim_prod].[All Products].[OFFICE], [Dim_time].[All Years].[1994])
