Hi All,

I'm new to sql server and SSAS. I have a requirement where in i need to add a new cube to already existing set of 6 cubes. On the SSIS side i have loaded data from external sources and created 3 new tables. I'm planning to use the existing DIMENSIONS as there is no need for new ones. Using the three tables how can i create a new FACT table? I tried by right clicking on the DIMENSIONS "Create new dimesnion is the only option that i see", also i have a query that is based of these 3 tables. Can i used that instead to buold a FACT able? If YES where and how can i use it, as i didnt come across any options. Please need help.

Thanks

I would put your query into a view and use that as the fact table. You will probably want to materialise it at some point.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

Thanks , but i already created a new table based off the 3 tables. My question is when i right clicked on the DIMENSIONS and clicked on CREATE A NEW DIMENSION, i do not see the new table that i created in the list of the tables, all it shows is the list of the DIMENSIONS that already exist.
