                                            | Hello,I would like to exclude any members in my dimensions that do not join to the fact table. It seems that when Analysis Services does the join in the cube building process, it restricts only records in the fact table, but all records in the dimension tables are kept.I could filter the dimension data out in the base tables before building my cube, but they are shared dimensions and each cube uses a different subset of the same dimension.Is it possible to restrict dimension members based on the results of the fact table join when building my cubes?ThanksGlenn |  |

                                          | You can set a dimension filter.Another trick is to include the facttable in the dimension editor, this will effectively filter the dimension.rockmoose |
