Title: Can we create a report using two or more cubes
Post by: Dineshpullagura on 20 Feb 2015 09:45:57 AM
Hello,

We have a scenario, where we identified 8 dimensions and 7 measures. We need to create a report on these measures and dimensions. Here, all the measures are not applicable for all the dimensions. I have 3 measures which are applicable for 4 dimensions and another 4 measures applicable for 5 dimensions and 1measure applicable for only 1 dimension.

Is it efficient to build one cube for all these measures and dimensions. If not, can we build two or more cubes and create a report on these cubes.


Please suggest.

Thank you.

It sounds to me like in reality, you actually have three fact tables. In which case three cubes would seem appropriate.
