Article ID: 834491 - Last Review: November 21, 2006 - Revision: 2.3 FIX: The UPDATE CUBE MDX statement writes the remainder value of the writeback formula to a NULL cellBug#: 14194 (Plato7x) Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2000 hotfixes as one downloadable file. Because the hotfixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2000 hotfix release. On This PageSYMPTOMSIn SQL Server 2000, when you use a weighted writeback formula in a Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) UPDATE CUBE statement, a small remainder may be left after the new value is allocated by using the specified formula. The remaining value is inserted in the writeback table for the last cell that is evaluated in the writeback set that the UPDATE CUBE statement specifies. If the last cell is NULL, the cell will still be updated with the remainder value. This behavior may cause records to be displayed for dimension members that were previously empty. Sometimes, the remainder value is so low that the client tool will display the value as zero (0). For example, the following MDX UPDATE CUBE statement sets the 1998, Forecast, and General & Administrative expenses for the state of California to a value of $750,000. The new value is allocated to the individual stores in California based on their contribution to the total Current Year's Actual Gross Sales for California in the previous year. Collapse this table
