Hello All ,

Am using the below query to build the offline cube but it is failing saying operation is cancelled and no detailed error.

CREATE GLOBAL CUBE [Test]
STORAGE 'E:\abc.cub' FROM [Cube]
(
MEASURE [Cube].[Unit],
MEASURE [Cube].[Value],
MEASURE [Cube].[Value USD],
MEASURE [Cube].[Counting Unit],
MEASURE [Cube].[Dosage Unit],
MEASURE [Cube].[Molecule Count],
DIMENSION [Cube].[Channel],
DIMENSION [Cube].[Geography],
DIMENSION [Cube].[Period],
DIMENSION [Cube].[Product],

                        DIMENSION [Cube].[Molecule]
                        )

However if i comment the Period dimension it is getting executed completed without any issues.

Can you please help me understanding what exactly might the issue be.

Error Message Below.

    Hi,
    Seems there are internal issue in the cube , have you develop and deploy it in Visual Studio? You could try first develop the cube completely in VS then create the offline cube.

    From your description, I would start debugging first at Period dimension. See if it can be processed successfully .
    Also as your error info mentioned , the sales - ph_DDD measure could also have problems.

    regards,
    Lukas

    In Period dimension was having some null values for YTD columns after replacing them with 0 was able to extract the cube. So can conclude saying if we are having some null values for columns we will be not able to extract cub file.
