Situation:I am currently working on a 2008r2 Analysis Services project in which I have no control over the Data Source structure. Please do not inform me to refine the database as it is not an option. ---Current Structure:Table A:Table A contains a key and some dimensions such as gender, raceTable B:Table B contains the same keys as table A (there are duplicates of these keys, intentionally), Dates, and measures. This table has duplicate keys but unique records because the date distinguishes different times in the year a person came to our business.---Goal:I am trying to create a cube in which these two tables are joined. I would like to see how many times a person of a certain gender (Table A.dimension) came into my shop for a oil change (Table B.measure) in a certain month (Table B.date)---Attempts:My only success was to make an intermediate dimension that had the keys and join the dimensions to measure groups on a referenced type of relationship. Data looked good, but the size of my cube became to large because there are so many records. I was able to complete this action in Analysis Services 2000 and am unsure why it is so difficult in BIDS.---Can anyone please help?
