Bug #: 50000190 (SQL Hotfix)



Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release.



SUMMARY
This article describes the following about this hotfix release:
 * The issues that are fixed by the hotfix package
 * The prerequisites for applying the hotfix package
 * Whether you must restart the computer after you apply the hotfix package
 * Whether the hotfix package is replaced by any other hotfix package
 * Whether you must make any registry changes after you apply the hotfix package
 * The files that are contained in the hotfix package



SYMPTOMS
When you browse a cube in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services, you receive an incorrect grand total for a measure. You receive the grand total for all measures instead of the grand total for the filtered measure. This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
 * You select a measure that is defined as a calculated member.
 * You set a filter on a dimension.
 * You browse a cube by using one of the following methods:
 * You use Microsoft Excel to import data from Analysis Services to a PivotTable report.
 * You use Business Intelligence Development Studio.
 * You use SQL Server Management Studio.

Restart information
You do not have to restart the computer after you apply this hotfix. However, this hotfix stops and then restarts the Analysis Services service. If you configured Analysis Services for HTTP access, you must stop Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and then restart IIS after the installation is finished. If you installed Analysis Services as a named instance, you must stop the SQL Server Browser service because the Msmdredir.dll component of the SQL Server Browser service is updated when you apply this hotfix.

Registry information
You do not have to change the registry.
