Now We used to have a one to one relationship between our Sales team managers and each customer (See Customer and Responsibility below), but now as we have split our business up into different business areas, effectively treating them as different business'. We might sell different products to the same customer, and therefore each Business Area will have a different account manager for the same customer.

Here was the original structure
Now We used to have a one to one relationship between our Sales team managers and each customer (See Customer and Responsibility above), but now as we have split our business up into different business areas, effectively treating them as different business'.

Here was the original structure

Fact table
productid
customerid
sales_Value
etc.,

Product
Productid
Product_desc
Business_Area_id
etc.,

Customer
Customerid
CustomerName
AccountMgr_ID
etc.,

BusinessArea
Business_Area_id

Responsibility
AccountMgr_ID
Account_Mgr_Name

The below table demonstrates an intermediate dimension table I have created to replace the one to one dimension link from fact to customer to Responsibility.

ResponsibilityBA
Customerid
Business_Area_ID
Accountmgr_ID
Director_ID

AccountMgr
Accountmgr_ID
AccountMgr_Name

Director
Director_ID
Director_Name

Does anybody have any experience creating this into a cube. I have added it, but its not allowing me to scroll through and just puts the same total in all the different members. It will always be necessary to include a business Area in the selection to see a true reposnsibility hierarchy, but this isnt making much difference at the moment. Anyone have any idea where I am going wrong. Any articles tackle this?
Should I create a new dataview? Should I create a new dimnsion or include it as part of the customer one???

Thanks Teg
