    Hi Pinal,

    I am facing following problem in SSAS and I’ll be really appreciate your guidance/suggestion/tips to resolve the same.

    I have created a multilingual application which reads some master data from Analysis Tool along with some calculated values. The data is dispayed in 3rd Party control i.e. Dundas Olap Control and Dundas Web Chart. I have written OLAP Translation for each of my language.

    It works well with languages like Spanish, Portugal, French, Chinese. However for Italian and Korean it returns me empty cells. The strange thing is that it shows appropriate data in OLAP integrated browser and Dundas Olap Control for all langauges including Italian and Korean but when I explicitly fire MDX by changing connection string (Locale Identifier) it returns me empty values.

    I have no clue where the issue is. I am running SQL Server Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 2.

    Thank You!

    Rgds,
    Sandeep

    Hi Pinal,
    Do you know if it is possible to use a cube as a datasource in a Coldfusion application and query it using MDX?
    Thanks
