In Cognos I have three different SQL queries having data for 1 different month in one report.
I want to link 1 burst query with all the other 3 SQL queries.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

I have a ton of records across 5 different tables in Access that I'm consolidating in one query.
I want to now be able to connect that query to excel and pivot the data that is in the query. Is that possible? If so, is there a way to do it without added VBA? I was thinking of slowly exporting the consolidated data into a new table in access but with over 7 million records, it'll take some time. Anyway to save myself that headache? When I connect the DB to excel, the only tables that are coming up are the 5 tables and not the query.
Has anyone tried doing automation using Power Query in Excel? I had this thought that of data set that has country-wise data of maybe around 10 countries. The data is to be provided on 10 worksheets. If we could make the queries in Excel and link the sheets to the queries which filter for each country - then we would only have to paste the dataset on one sheet and refresh the other country-wise sheets.
My question is would this pose any problems when the file is distributed?
I want to display 2 table data from SQL Server to Excel file. Each table has 2 columns.
I know that we can do this using Data tab. But what I could understand is we need to create 2 connections for the 2 tables.
Can we use a single connection and using this connection display the data from 2 tables?
Thanks in advance
Nope, you cannot connect two tables with one connection.
There is workaround to join tables in SQL query or use Union and index each table with column with name of the table.
Or if you do not want to use queries, try Microsoft Query from Excel, here is link to see how to use it.

Still I would suggest to do two connections.
I am developing SSAS Tabular project for Power BI, as part of requirement I need to automate the below process
1. Every week I have to delete last two weeks of data in SSAS Table
2. Update last two weeks of data.
Thanks in advance
Please advice
For this, you have to create an SSIS Package to delete the last two weeks of data and then process the cube.
Your SSIS Package to delete the last 2 weeks of data.
Schedule to process your SSAS cube.
SSAS Tabular, Power Pivot, Power BI don't provide facilities to allow a partial refresh, sliding window or any other type of refresh other than full data refresh (Power BI premium does but assuming you're not using that).
You need to control the data getting into the data model by controlling the data in the source tables underlying the model.
This is commonly done using SSIS, TSQL and/or stored procedures.
We can implement drilldown report using grouping feature of SSRS 2008, where we just give SSRS filtered data and group expression and rest is done by SSRS, great. Our problem is that we have very large data even after giving filter, so it takes lot of time for SSRS to get data and group it. What can be ideal situation is that we have opportunity to really implement drill down, i mean when user expand group level 1 , group level 2 data is fetched from DB by SSRS and rendered and delivered to client.
We tried with subreports but then again it preloads data. and we have to provide up to 8 levels of drill down.
Any suggestion how to do it in SSRS 2008 is welcomed, any alternative approach suggestion is welcomed as well.
Try using the "Link to Report" feature in one of your columns. This way you can create a summary report, and then fire off another report when the user clicks the columns row data. The drill down report can accept a parameter from the main report to determine what data should display.
