FAQ

Q: I get the following exception?

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Unable to find assembly 'Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient'.
   at Python.Runtime.CLRModule.AddReference(String name)

A: This exception is most likely raised because you have'ent added the folder with the Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.dll to your path, before you import the pyadomd package.

Example:

from sys import path
#added to the path _before_ importing the pyadomd package
path.append('\\Program Files\\Microsoft.NET\\ADOMD.NET\\150')

from pyadomd import Pyadomd

Q: When I try to connect to an Azure Analysis Service instance I get:

Authentication faild: User ID and Password are required when user interface is not available?

A: This exception is most likely raised due to your "app" is not registered. Please follow the microsoft app registration documentation microsoft docs. The script: connect_to_ass.py (link to script) is a simple example on how to create a connection to a Azure Analysis Service. Please note that this is only an example, and not necessarily suitable for all apps.
