Hieracy recognizes any column under hieracy as the first column in hieracry list

  • Hello,

    I have cubes where their folders are built from facts and dimension tables, and in the diagram, I use hierarchy to place columns under a hierarchy that I named. But, I have a single script that provides all the data , I guess a single table of fact and dimension if it were, that supplied one folder to the cube. And in that cube I go to the diagram and place columns into a named hierarchy to group, and it doesn't matter when I select a column in Excel, the first column in the hierarchy list will be the only one whose values display. Is this simply a limitation of the single folder of no differentiation of facts and dims? Thanks, JPQ

    This is rather unclear to me. Can you possibly include a few screenshots to help us understand what is happening and what you hope to achieve?

  • When I create a hierarchy and drag the columns to it, and then build/deploy and connect with Excel, and then drag from the Geography folder of the hierarchy, and drag Cluster and drop in Columns, I get Region instead, and there is now way I can build the hierarchy in the cube and drag and drop within Excel connected to the cube to get any different result. So I'm wondering if this is a limitation of a single table holding aggregated data.
