		<description><![CDATA[If you have ragged dimensions, i.e. some paths from the top node to a leaf node differ in length, and you are using Excel 2007 as a front end, then&#8230; bad news!  It will not work.

A client tool can get the ragged dimensions from the server if it uses MDX Compatibility=2 in its connection [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, it is possible to automatically synchronize a SQL Server database with an SVN repository.  Every change to a table, stored procedure or other database object will automatically be committed to the repository.  New objects will get added, deleted objects deleted, etcetera.  As a bonus, why not monitor the contents of (some) [...]]]></description>

But what if you need to wait for that job to finish before you can continue whatever you are doing in that stored procedure ?  Here is the code for a stored procedure [...]]]></description>

Alas&#8230;  Clicking on the Subtotal button magically adds a row to the matrix component.  But, you cannot tell it what function to use: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the end of a phase of a business intelligence project, when it has been accepted and it is time to move into production, comes the deployment on the production environment.  The deployment itself should also be testable, reproducible and of course be completely debugged. The method largely depends on the customer&#8217;s IT team&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Excel2007 is a great tool for power users/analysts to access a SSAS cube.  They can slice &#8216;n dice the data as never before and even make appealing reports on the fly.  Yet the new drillthrough capability is not completely bug free.  First of all, it is impossible to drillthrough if the user [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are facing a problem when applying simple dimension security: it disables drillthrough.
The business case is simple enough: there are two usergroups, one that is denied access to a specific dimension and one that is allowed to see its contents.  (In theory we would like to completely hide that
dimension for the first group, but [...]]]></description>

In this case I added six data flows going through six Slowly Changing Dimension Transformations to one Data Flow Task.  I know, I could have split the DFL into 6 seperate DFLs, but [...]]]></description>
