Analysis gives the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Reason:
This error comes when the following files in (Analysis Install dir)\bin\dat\ are corrupted:
loader2.mdb, loader.mdf, loader.ldf

Solution:

You need to restore these files; take these files from another machine where you have installed the Analysis. Or Re-install the Analysis on your machine after a clean uninstall.

  1. The above is not the only reason for the error.If your result file is bigger than 2GB then also it can occur.The solution is to use SQL Server as the Database.
    MS-access ,which is the default DB used by Analysis, cannot handle DB sizes bigger than 2GB.
