Allocated memory exceeded on dimension expression

edemerdjieva — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:16:04 GMT

Hi all,

I have a dimension in a pivot table based on the following expression:

=chr(39) & Week

The problem is that this generates 'allocated memory exceeded' error. Removing the expression from the dimension helps correcting the error.

I'm using the desktop version.

Unfortunately, the dimension has to be formated (therefore, the expression). Can you help please ?

Thanks.

What do you mean ?
With dimension Week works as expected while adding chr(39) to it do you get the error?

Try to replace the week command without argument, with week('yyyy-mm-dd').

This command, chr(39) & week('2019-01-18',0,1), would generate a string like this: '3, that indicate the 3rd week from January.

Here is the complete command syntax.

@agigliotti

Yes, that's correct.

And it happens only in pivot table. If I change to simple table than it works fine.

Actually, I have a dimension where the week is format '01/2019' for the first week in 2019.

Do you need to get the right week within that date?

No, I only need to format the value of the dimension so that it is displayed differently within this chart.

I'm not noticing the "exceeded on dimension" error! When does it happen? It seems the computation is correct isn't it?

Often it's useful to create all needed date-fields within the master-calendar even if it meant to keep several week- or month-fields there instead of formatting/adjusting them within UI.

If your aim of formatting this field is to avoid an automatically interpreting by an excel-export you could also add a non visible space, for example: chr(8203).

@marcus_sommer

Finally, I added a new field in the load script. This field is based on the Week Dimension : Week & chr(8203). This solves the export in Excel/CSV issue and is transparent for the final user.

Thank you for the suggestion !
