Adding a sub product dimension to cube?

  • Greetings all!

    I am having a conundrum with a data cube!

    So here is the issue I am having. I have a data cube built that functions correctly. However there is a request to add data to this from another dimension (similar to sub products). The problem is, this is a 1 to many relationship. The main data is the 1, and the new dimension is the many. I have tried quite a few ways to get this to work in the data cube, but so far nothing has been successful.

    So my question is, how do you add a subproduct type dimension to a cube where there is a 1 to many reference? Or is that even possible without skewing and breaking how things work currently?

  • Hi

    Yes there is, and you could do it without breaking things..

    Mr Russo and Ferrari created a nice paper called the 'Many-To-Many Revolution'. I presume this paper contains the directions to solve your problem.

    If you still encounter issues solving the 1 to many relationship in your cube. I could provide more help.
