While adding datedimension to cube it is showing three other dimensions.

  • Hi, i am newbie to ssas..

    while i was creating a new project following instructions in msdn(using adventureworks dw db) and trying to add date dimension to the cube it is adding three other dimensions like shipdate,duedate,orderdate and actual datedimension doesnt appear in the cube.

    pls help me understand why is it like that..what shuld it do to make it correct..

  • Read up on datawarehousing and Denormalization, that will help.

    Basically, you do have three different date values. This those dates are describing(dimension) the values in the fact table.
