Consider the following

- during publish, you have to choose which is the "dimension (read as dlist) for publish"
- items in this dlist will be translated into columns in resulting published cube
- most often, this dlist represents measures in fact table in the data mart you load published data into (however, not always).
- most often, this is the first dlist in your dcube (type 1)

Perhaps you can elaborate your question a bit?

Best regards, Jan
