Hi,

is it possible to create a virtual cube without using analysis server?
I have 2 local cubes and want to build one virtual cube.

Best regards,
Thorsten
 
Not sure off hand but I know in MDX you can use the LookupCube function.

I dont know if virtual cubes are the correct method of resolution.

What I need is to handle 1:n relations in a Cube. Here a little example:
I have a table LOGGEDFLAW and a table LOGGEDREASON with a 1:n relation between them. We create a select statement of these tables and as an result we get duplicate records of LOGGEDFLAW each time more than 1 record of LOGGEDREASON are associated to 1 record of LOGGEDFLAW - this is the standard result I get with an relational JOIN operation. Now I want to count the LOGGEDFLAWs without the duplicates generated by the 1:n relationship.

Regards,
Thorsten
 
count distinct? (or am I making it too easy?)

Stick to your guns
 
Sorry,

distinct count is not supported in local cubes. But I need s.t. like distinct count and distinct sum.
