Referencing 2 dimensions

Hi all,

I hope someone can see a way around this.

I have a cube which is working well an need to add a new dimension. The new dimension does not have a reference to the fact table but refers to 2 current dimensions.

Is there a way of adding in the new dimension referencing the current dimensions, or will I need to go to the database and add a new foreign key to the fact table?

Thanks in advance,

David

Hi,

You can create a snowflake schema:

Thanks Lucas.

I knew I wanted a many-to-many relationship, but didn't think of adding an extra Measure to do it.

Regards,

David.
