I may be jumping in to far too fast. but thought I'd ask anyway
I have a sql 2005 database that holds information about our file structure
on our file server. It has several times, one of which is a folder table.
This folder table contains info like
id foldername
1 d:\root\dept\is\reports
2 d:\root\dept\is\data
3 d:\root\user\user1
this data is then related to another table
id filename size
1 test1 64
2 test2 808
and the related table
id folderid fileid dateofgather
1 1 1 1/1/2006
2 2 2 12/15/2005
3 3 1 1/1/2006
when i tried to create a cube on this drag my folder dimension over, it list
all the folders out as seperate rows, but i want it to do it in a
hierarchy... so when i click on d: i'm shown root next, then dept and user
can you do this in a calculated field.. or is this something where with a
lot of work, i'd have to store in the database first.
i don't know how hard or easy this would be.. but been around long enough to
know sometimes what one person thinks is really hard someone else has
already done and can make seem simple
hope someone can help
thanks
