Hello, I have a cube wich has two dimensions, One is the "Concept" (star schema) dimension, this one is linked to a "Department"(parent-child schema) dimension.

So, when I browse the data I wish to see something like this:
-Department1
-Sub department 1
Concept 1
Concept 2
Concept 3
-Sub department 2
Concept 4
-Department 2
-Sub department 2
Concept 5

and so on.. I know this looks exactly like only one parent-child dimension, but i need to simulate this behavior having two dimensions, the departments dimension (parent child) and the concepts dimension (star schema, but linked to the lowest level of the deparment dimension).

So, somebody can help?

thanks in advance!
 
I forgot to say, using the schema above, when I drop the dimension departments and then drop the dimension concepts, all concepts are shown in each level on the departments, and I want only the ones that are linked to it
 
What Cube engine are you using as this can effect the answer.

I would build a view that lines the dataup in manner to support you dimension and create the dimension based from the view.
