Microsoft Analysis Server

Creating a Custom Dimension - A Walkthrough

I put together the attached based on what I know about analysis services and what I have learned about iMIS Analytics. Obviously this is not supported by ASI, in fact i'd be interested to know how this would survive an Analytics upgrade... anyone?

This uses the GEO database and the new 10.6 VM Ware as the base.

Comments welcome.

Thanks
