KWymore and Kevin Kunz-193240, thanks for you comments coming from veterans like you. I guess after a while you get tired of some SSAS developers making MDX seem like rocket science. I consider myself a BI guy, but I spend a lot of time doing data integration using SSIS which normally constitute about 70% of most BI projects in my opnion. On a good BI project, a well designed cubes are normally just a reflection of a warehouse or Mart, there's nothing so special about it.
