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