Author  Topic  Gmare Starting Member 6 Posts Posted - 2012-06-13 : 12:27:58 Hi all, I have a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services installation and I'm trying to create a dimension. All seems clear, except a functionality that I had in SSAS 2000 and I can't find in this new release. In SSAS 2000 I specified a Member Key column (example: customer ID) and a Member Name Column (example: customer ID + Customer Name + Customer Surname). In SSAS 2008 I have two similar columns (called Key Column and Name Column) , but in the Name Column I can't specify a formula (I can only specify a single field for the description). Did someone face the same matter? Thanks for the support!
