im going through an exercise book with examples of SSAS cube creation and deployment.One exercise is to create a time dimension in a cube. The dimension is created from a date column already in the fact table.The Time Dimension has 4 attributes:Date -pkMonthquarteryearwhen i try to process the dimension i get the error:[i]Errors in the OLAP storage engine: A duplicate attribute key has been found when processing: Table: 'dbo_ManufacturingFact', Column: 'YearOfManufacture', Value: '2008'. The attribute is 'Quarter'.[/i]I have completely emptied all dimension and fact tables and repopulated them but issue still exists.I have recreated the time dimension, ensuring to set up the hierarchy correctly so that each child can have only one parent ( see this article: http://blog.programmingsolution.net/ssas-2008/period-dimension-time-dimension-creation-with-year-month-day-hierarchy/)I have tried setting MemberNamesUnique to false, and setting the trim property to NONE, but still facing the issue.I ran a trace when trying to process the dimension, and only two queries are run, first returning all the distinct quarters, and the second returning all distinct years and their quarters.I cant see any duplicates so i cannot see where this error is comming from. any ideas?
