Just wait a minute or a decade. I will look for my crystal ball first before answering any further question.
Or..? You could give is complete story with full DDL and sample data to demonstrate what you want? Or that will be too easy?

Do you know what a dimension is?
Or maybe - what is a dimension (or maybe this dimesnion) in your system?

To answer our first question - you already have a degenerate dimension so you don't need to do anything.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.
