Creating the Cube - Expense Focus
The Cube Editor will
first guide us through the selection of our fact table, which houses the
measures upon which we seek to report. We will create our basic financial
reporting cube shell by taking the following actions:
1.
Right-click the new Cubes
folder under the FinRep_DB database we created above.
2.
Select New Cube from the
initial shortcut menu.
3.
Click Editor, as shown in the
illustration below.
