Default Any "manual" grouping? - 05-17-2004 , 08:51 PM






I know that there is automatic grouping in AS. However, is there any "manual grouping" (i.e. do grouping according to my need)? I really want this function for my analysis. Thanks

Sure. Add your own level and populate it via some calculated value.
A common technique is to create a calculated field in TSQL and load the
dimension via a view which adds the calculated field (or a simple CASE
statement).
