Multiple Fact Tables

I have two fact tables in a cube...Both fact tables have plenty of measures, some even have the same measures but are name differently (ex. Bad Phone Number, Number of Bad Phones). When I process the cube, only the measures in the most recent fact table (A) show up. The oldest fact table does have some measures to show up in the cube but I was expecting that all the measure in both fact tables would show up. Both fact tables are connected to the same dimensions. Any ideas?

So when you open up the cube in BIDS, can you see all the measures you expect in the list on the top left hand side? If not you can drag the columns you want from the fact tables in the diagram in the centre pane to the measures list. If you cannot even see these columns in the diagram then you must have altered your table structures after building your DSV and you will need to open up your DSV and refresh it before going back into the cube designer to create the measures.

Hope this helps.

Multiple datasources in SSRS 2005 reports

Hi,
Is is possible to have multiple analysis Services datasources for a single
report? I want to be able to display measures from both cubes on the same
report with a common dimension without having to redesign my cubes.
Thanks!
BrianThe short answer is yes, but you won't be able to display the measures
side-by-side in the same region if this is what you are after. That's
because you cannot join RS datasets. That said, you can have two regions,
each bound to its own dataset. If you have a virtual cube and your MDX query
pulls data from both cubies than you should be OK.
