So, I'm half-skipping my last class of the day. 'Tis only half-skipping as I was doing a midterm for my other class today during the first hour of it. Yep, two hours worth of midterm, and I didn't even finish. The teacher basically kicked me out - said I could retake it on Friday. I got all of it done except for one section.
We were supposed to build a data cube on SQL Server 2005 using an Excel spreadsheet as a "source" (it didn't say "data source," which is different).
So, okay, I go into Enterprise Manager to make it into a database, which I did successfully.
Okay, so I go to make that database into a data source from Analysis Manager - can't find it.
Okay, so I go to Administrative Tools --> Data Sources, and try to set up a data source with my database. Still can't find it. I think it might be on a different server, because Analysis Manager uses a named server, but Enterprise Manager uses "(local)" server.
Okay, so I try to make the spreadsheet itself the database for a data source. It doesn't pop up a "Connection Successful" box, but it doesn't kick back an error either, so I go with it.
Back to Analysis Manager to build my cube - it doesn't recognize .xls files because it needs .mdb files.
A half-hour of fruitless fiddling around with it later, and I'm so frustrated that I have to go cry in the bathroom for a minute. By this time, I'm about ten-fifteen minutes late to my next class.
Okay Sheer, you can do this.
I go to make the .xls file the database to use for the data source again. It now says that it's being used by another program. Thing is, I don't have it open anywhere, which means someone else (I suspect it was the teacher) was ******** around with it.
Another half-hour of fruitless labor later, and my teacher says to try again on Friday from scratch. Another frustrated trip to the bathroom.
The thing is, he hasn't taught us this stuff. He pointed us to a tutorial on Analysis Manager, which obviously isn't working for me. Everyone else got their cube done, and so I know I'm missing something fairly obvious (they didn't necessarily get their midterm done within the time limit either, but they did get it done).
(Expect me to be a regular in this thread xp )

Angelic_Highlights ok well i have a few rants now XD One is how nasty some of the teenagers are around my neighbourhood, we have had countless accounts now of animals exspecially cats being shot by air guns and even a normal gun in there eyes. This is discusting in the worst way people are so cruel exspecially to animals. Then i go out to get some shopping and i noticed a poster on the lamp post and in the one stop shop. saying that someones dog had been stolen from outside a store.for those that dont live in the uk lately cats & dogs are being stolen from homes or outside of shops and then either being used in pit fights or being stolen either for selling or ransem... people are sick and they annoy me... no sweatdrop thats wrong SOME people are sick and should be shot with a double barrel shotgun... i dont see how anyone can do this to be honest that dog that they stole shall we say is some childs pet, or a old persons companion... it isnt just a dog, it is a friend to someone, if my astro was stolen i would be destraught im sad like that i love my pets to death sad ======================== another rant ======================== Teenagers!!! im getting sick of them, they need there parents to give them a good smack around there head, we saw two young females standing around outside yesterday and when the barrier for the train went down they tried to hit on a guy in a car, yes they were 14 and they were prostitutes. im wondering how they get away with it and they really should have something done about them, i was going to call the police but they had gone when we looked. lately there had been graffiti on the walls on train tracks... asking for underage sex so it is worrying... things should be done about it this is getting stupid! scream plus we have gangs who stand outside the kebab shop OF ALL THINGS and shout abuse at people. they dont bother me they need to grow up as someday some guy is going to go and punch them one lol... so i suppose this a rant for the teenagers and there parents, well some of them anyway they need to bring there kids up with morals and secondly explain the warnings to them. More disapline im thinking is needed in the uk *trails off mutter to herself*
