This document provides project documentation for creating an SSAS cube using SQL Server Analysis Services on data from the fictitious AllWorks construction company. The project involved creating an SSAS project and cube with dimensions and facts from multiple database tables, building relationships between the tables in the data model, and developing metrics and MDX queries on the cube. Key performance indicators were also created using measures and attributes from the cube.

4. 1. Introduction:
The project is for a fictitious construction company called AllWorks. The basic requirement of
the project is to design and crate a SSAS Application by using data source, data view,
relationship, cube, partition, aggregation, calculations and KPIs. There is also a separate part of
project as a MDX Workshop.
2. Project Requirements:
There are three phases/ deliverables to the SSAS Project:
 Creating an SSAS solution in BIDS, and building a cube from the four fact tables.
o JobOverheaadSummaryFacts
o JobMaterialFacts
o JobLoborFacts
o JobSummaryFacts
 A Workshop on SSAS queries.
 Building KPIs.
3. Project Preparations:
Following tasks were done before starting the project as an initial preparation according to the
project guidelines.
3.1.1.Unzip the file SetFocusBISSASProjects.ZIP to the root of your C: drive – it will unzip to
C:SetFocusBIProjectsStudentVersionSSASStudentProject
3.1.2.Unzip the file SSAS_MDX_Project.zip to the root of your C: drive – it will unzip to
C:SetFocusBIProjectsStudentVersionSSAS_MDX_Project
3.1.3.Restore the attached ALLWORKS.ZIP file to local server in SQL Server
 Unzip/extract ALLWORKS.ZIP (it contains ALLWORKS.BAK inside)
 Go into SQL Server Management Studio, connect to database Services using LocalHost
 Take the option to restore a database. Call the new database AllWorks, and point to the
AllWorks.BAK file
4. Project Tasks:
4.1. Creating the SSAS Project/Cube
4.1.1.An Empty SSAS Project, Stored in
c:SetFocusBIProjectsStudentVersionSSASStudentProject was opened.
4.1.2.A Data Source named AllWorksDs.ds was created.
4.1.3.Data Source Views were created using the following tables in the Data Source View:
o JobSummaryFacts
o JobOverHeadSummaryFacts
o JobMaterialFacts
o JobLaborFacts
SSAS Student Project Documentation 3

5. o AllWorksCalendar
o Clients
o ClientGroupings
o County
o Division
o Employees
o JobMaster
o MaterialType
o OverHead
4.1.4.In the data source view, following relationship was created:
 Allworks Calendar is the target of 4 relationships on Week ending Date from
JobOverheadSummaryFacts, JobMaterialFacts, and JobLaborFacts (on week
ending date) and JobSummaryFacts (on JobClosedDate)
 Employees is the target of a relationship from JobLaborFacts (on EmployeePK)
 MaterialTypes is the target of a relationship from JobMaterialFacts (on
MaterialTypePK)
 Overhead is the target of a relationship from JobOverheadSummaryFacts (on
OverheadPK)
 JobMasterPK is the target of 4 relationships from JobOverheadSummaryFacts,
JobMaterialFacts, JobLaborFacts, and JobSummaryFacts (all on JobMasterPK)
 JobMasterPK is related to Clients, on ClientPK
 Clients is related to County, which in turn is related to Division (based on
CountypK, and DivisionPK)
 Clients is related to ClientGroupings, on ClientGroupingPK
SSAS Student Project Documentation 4

6. Figure 1:All Works Data Source Relationship
4.1.5.Using the Wizard, cube and dimensions are created and got following results:
 One Cube (AllWorks.cube) with four fact tables (JobSummaryFacts,
JobOverheadSummaryFacts, JobMaterialFacts and JobLaborFacts)
 Five Dimensions1 (JobMaster, Overhead, Material Types, Employees and
AllWorksCalendar).
1
According to the requirement document, there should be 6 dimensions, but after the instructions from project
instructor, existing relation are deleted before new relations creation; as a result there are only 5 dimensions.
SSAS Student Project Documentation 5

7. Figure 2: Cube Layout with Fact and Dimensions
4.1.6.For the JobMaster2 Dimension, the hierarchy for client to county to division and for client
to client group is checked and name column properties were set according to the
corresponding attributes.
4.1.7.For Each of the four fact tables, two partitions were created- one for data before year
2005 (including year 2005), and another for data after 2005. Data separated by using
query- (join with AllWorksCalendar table). Each partitions with data after 2005 were set
their aggregation to 50%.3
4.2. MDX Queries
As a part of the project, different mdx queries were written and tested according to the project
requirements. The details is available in the appendix part of this document.
4.3. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Following Five KPIs were created and tested in excel.
4.3.1. KPI 1: Open Receivables
Requirements:
2
After change in relationship, client dimension (according to the project requirement) was merged into jobmaster
dimension.

According to the additional requirements send by the instructor in email.
