The Many Benefits of Money…Data Type!

Our initial reason for looking at the money data type can be found within the Precision Considerations for Analysis Services Users white paper. In this white paper, we provide extensive examples of the types of precision issues when your SQL relational data source and your Microsoft® SQL Server® Analysis Services cube have different non-matching data types (e.g., if you query one way you get the value 304253.3251, but run the query in another way and you get the value 304253.325100001).
