Default Multiple TimeZones and SSAS 2005 - 03-08-2006 , 12:23 AM






As my company is going international, I'm looking to expand my 2005
cubes' datetime dimension to incorporate different time zones. Has
anyone successfully implemented attributes in a single datetime dim
that will span different timezones (along with useful aggs)? Or, has
any one done this succinctly using mutliple dims? I'm concerned about
dimension member/data/cube size explosion in tackling this problem and
appreciate any insight. Similar to what Microsoft did for currency
conversion, I hope that at some point they will put in special AS
functionality to handle this.

thanks!
