SYMPTOMS

Assume that you create a BI semantic model connection that redirects to an analysis services tabular model database in Microsoft SQL Server 2012. Then, a DAX or MDX query is sent to the tabular model database. In this situation, an access violation might occur if the following conditions are true:
  • The database has a calculation that contains the USERELATIONSHIP function (DAX).
  • The query contains a single or mixed-grain arbitrary shape.
    Note An arbitrary shape set is a set that cannot easily be expressed as a crossjoin set of two sets of attribute members. For example, "{(2004, USA), (2001, Canada)}" is an arbitrary shape set.
  • The USERELATIONSHIP function affects the measure group that is involved in the arbitrary shape.
