Creating the Other Dimensions

Now you essentially need to go through the whole process of creating a dimension and a hierarchy for the other dimensions (Product and Geography). The process is as follows:

1.
Invoke the Dimension Wizard (by right-clicking the Dimensions object in the Solution Explorer).

2.
Choose the creation method for the dimension to use the existing table from a data source approach.

3.
Specify the Comp Sales2008 DSV data source view.

4.
Select the main dimension table to use (Prod_Dimension for the Product dimension and Geo_Dimension for the Geography dimension).

5.
Identify the key column of each new dimension (ProductID for the Product dimension and GeoID for the Geography dimension).

6.
Select the related tables.

7.
Specify the dimension attributes and the attribute types (regular).

8.
Name the dimension (Product_Dimension and Geography_Dimension) and finish the Dimension Wizard (which places you in the dimension designer).

9.
Drag the dimension attributes to the Hierarchies pane to create the dimension hierarchy view:
  • Use the following product hierarchy, in this order (see Figure 23):

    1. All Products

    2. Product Type

    3. Product Line

    4. Product Family

    5. SKU

    Figure 23. Creating the product hierarchy in the dimension designer.


  • Use the following geography hierarchy, in this order (see Figure24):

    1. All Geo

    2. Maj Geo

    3. Country

    4. Channel

    5. Customer

    Figure 24. Creating the geography hierarchy in the dimension designer.


10.
Update the NameColumn and ValueColumn properties of each dimension hierarchy level.

11.
Process the dimension and browse the dimension.
