Urgent - Best Practices Dimensional Reporting

[dssd]

Are there any best practices that need to be followed or are recommended specific to  Dimensional reporting.

[MFGF]

A good place to start is by taking a look at the Proven Practice documents on the IBM website. You can find the ones related to dimensional reporting here:

You might also find it worthwhile to attend one of IBM's dimensional report authoring courses - if memory serves it's two days covering using Report Studio to build reports off dimensional sources.
