Blank dimension names while browsing SSAS cube

Question

I recently started encountering strange problem as shown in image below. While browsing a SSAS cube, the Dimension Names appear blank.

Dimension: I have [Date].[Calendar Month].[Month] Measure: [Services in 3 days]

After I run a query like

Select [Date].[Calendar Month].[Month] on 0 From [Service Cube]

then the Dimension Member Names show up in cube browser with different value for measure.

Any clues?

Answer 1

That's because you have blank members in [Date].[Calendar Month] hierarchy. To check 'em out, run the below MDX query:

WITH SET BlankMonth AS
FILTER([Date].[Calendar Month].CHILDREN, [Date].[Calendar Month].currentmember.MEMBERVALUE = '')

SELECT [Measures].[Services in 3 days] ON 0,
BlankMonth ON 1
FROM [Service Cube]
