LESSON 11 Understanding ssas
When you double-click the .dim file in Solution Explorer, you open the Dimension Editor. Here you
edit the dimension (shown in Figure 11-6), attribute relationship, and properties. The fantastic thing

Lesson Requirements
After you install the AdventureWorks sample databases (the database that ends in DW or DW2008 is the
