  It IS costly! And if your are not running marketing numbers, then not = very
  intuitive either! We hired a consultant to build a cube for us a long = time ago
  (after a year ago) . Months after he has been far gone, we found = issues with
  the setup. The underlying queries are pulling up multiple records in = the total
  counts.....ahhhh.... so much for user testing and unfortunately I was = NOT
  involved in that phase of the project.

I was basically trying to redefine a dimension with a new query, but = the whole
cube went berserk.

Ok. Enough rant. Going for a little walk, take a little break, then = will come
back and throw my computer out of the window!

  DILBERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
