I'm creating a hierarchical dimension based on a parent child from a table, however a member doesn't have a unique id defined, it's uniqueness comes from the path it would create.

eg trying to produce this heirarchy:

1
/ 2 3
/ \ 4 5 4

Coming from this table:

Parent Child
2 4
2 5
3 4
1 2
1 3

Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is for building a cube.

Basically, is there a way of getting around the problem of merging non-unique data.

a - b - c -d 1
a - b - c -d 3
a - b - c -d 5

instead of

a - b - c -d 9

I am just a beginner at cube building but it is fairly urgent. Regards

Matt
