I have two dimensionsContact and Sales and fact tablefact table contains following attributesOrderDate,TotalDue,TaxAmt,SubTotal,FreightMy Source table does not contain any Time table.I want to add Time dimension and want to aggregate the data on based on year,semister,quater wise etcI have done this using some tricks i am not sure whether i am correct or wrongWhat i did1. Right Click on Dimension2.Add New Dimension3.Selected 'Generate a time table in the Data Source'4.Selected First calender day(Jan 1 2001) and Last Calender Day(31 Dec 2004) since Sales Table contains Orderdate starting from 2001 to 20045.Selected all the Time Periods6.Created Time Dimension7.Added this to existing data source view and made Date as Primary Key and linked to OrderDate attribute in Sales8.Done the same thing in the attribute relationship tabFor my happiness it worked very well and aggregation i am getting accordingly verified in the data base with SQL statementsSo my question is did i made the right relation ship with Salestable and whatever steps i followed is fine?Please let me know i am relatively new to SSAS. Any advice or suggestions are appreciated
