I have a table that stores all instances of when a company restates their finances. There are a number of other columns that have boolean data types in which I can use to filter. Since the records in this table are based on an event, there really isn't "fact" or numerical data.
When I build my cube in AS2005 using VS2005 and select this table as the fact table, I can't seem to get the other attributes (boolean fields) to appear as filters. Do I have to create a dimension using this table too?
For example, one report would be to display all restatements that had a negative impact (as opposed to a positive impact).
Do I have to create a dimension using this table too?
Yes (well, I guess so)
In my case I have to use it too, and I use it in a "WHERE" clause.
Kinda like:
WHERE [Blah].[True]
or something like that :-)
