I am using the adodbapi
python library to query an SSAS Cube. Essentially, my goal is to ask the user to first input the Account Id. Then, I would like that to be passed as a parameter dynamically in the WHERE section of the query with a ?
and include an argument in the cur.execute()
part of the code per how it is mentioned in the documentation I have linked below. cur.execute()
is where I am getting the error, and I have also copy and pasted most of the error below.
I have narrowed down the issue to the fact that the parameter is not working. Dynamic parameters work well for me with PyODBC
and pd.read_sql
, but they don't seem to work with adodbapi
, which I must use as it is the only library I have ever successfully queried an SSAS cube with from within python.
import adodbapi
import numpy as np
import pandas
account_id_input = input("Select Account ID: ").strip()
def get_df(data):
ar = np.array(data.ado_results) # turn ado results into a numpy array
df = pd.DataFrame(ar).transpose() # create a dataframe from the array
return df
with adodbapi.connect('''Provider=MSOLAP;

Initial Catalog=MySSASModel;

args = [account_id_input]
cur.execute(sql_str, args)
data = cur.fetchall()
df = get_df(data)
df.columns = ['Year-Month','Revenue']

I have tried everything and am out of ideas. I was referencing this document: http://adodbapi.sourceforge.net/quick_reference.pdf and some some other stackoverflow posts that were similar: enter link description here , but I could not figure it out! My MDX is horrible, if anyone else has ideas on how I can rewrite the MDX query, so that it plays better with adodbapi in terms of dynamic parameters, if it is in fact an issue with the library.
