Refreshing SSAS Cube using Visual Studio 2005/BIDS

  • Hello,

    I created a cube using Visual Studio 2005, and it works fantastic. The only issue I have is refreshing the cube. When I try to refresh the cube after any changes are made to the fact and/or dimension tables I get an error that says the records do not exist either in the fact or dimension table. So, my solution to this is to delete all of the dimensions and the cube, and just create a new cube. This obviously is not best practice, but it works.

    Does anyone know if there is an order that I have to follow when refreshing the cube? Perhaps I need to process the dimensions first and then the cube?

    Any help would be appreciated,

    Dave

  • You're on target there Dave - always process (refresh preferably) your dimensions first, and your facts (partitions in the measure groups) second. THink of it this way - you can't load a sales transaction fro widget X if Widget X isn't in your inventory list.
