Adding templated Date-Time dimension to the cube


Handling attributes that are time-variant in a DatamartDatawarehouse - Dimension, Fact, or Degenerative dimensionCube processing either takes too long or failsdate dimension OLAP cube designWhich is the best way for selecting dimension attributes while creating a dimension?Cube with 2 measure groups (with different relationships to dimensions) returns too many dimension members in reportsSSAS MD dimension joins to same table twice (but processing fails as attribute has 2 names for same ID)After processing complete, SSAS DB slowly consumes all available space on disk, w. high memory use alsoDealing with different types in a fact tableSSAS Cube Only Displays Total Values

I have a database with FactSales table that contains Date column of type I4. I have created a cube and linked dimensions via foreign keys as usual, however, since I have no DateTime table in the database I create it through the wizard and it now shows in Dimensions folder.



Now the question is: how do I link the Dimension to the cube? I have attempted to do so in Dimension Usage but to no avail. Please point me in the right direction to accomplish the task.

  • Update - it now shows in Excel OLAP design, but does not filter by dates - most likely because it is not linked to the column in FactSales. The question still stands - how do I link actual data warehouse table and dimension?

I have found the solution - it was as simple as changing my FactSales table' column Date to type Date, rather than having it as I4. After that I was able to bind it in Dimension Usage.
