The situation is like this
I have a product-table where I have the name of the vendor in one column. I was wondering if I could build cube with this product-table where I put this vendorcolumn into measure. Then I could blend this productcube with salescube and have the name of the wender standing beside the salesnumbers when I'm on lowest level

I have tried this and always get "cant convert data....

Any comments on this

regards Halli.

Measures must be numeric. But there may be a way out.
See Russ Whitney's excellent "Member Properties Bootcamp" for a way to add
member properties to -look- like measures.

Hope that helps.
