Help with multiple counts..

I have a application table that I have turned into a cube. It includes attributes of a organizaiton name, month, and year. This all works fine.

I would like to add another table to the cube that counts a visits. It also has attributes of organization name, month and year.


I am confused where I make the associations so they can operate in the same cube.

Do I join the tables in the datasource and just add the measure in the cube? Do I add a new dimention in the cube?

Any help in this area would be great. I am basically looking for a cube like so..

Month Year

Organization Name ApplicationCount (From the application table)

Visit Count (From the visit table)

Thanks in advance,

If it has a similar structure, just a different measure, then you could add this table as a separate measure group with a measure in it that maps to the Visit Count. If these two table are completely identical you might be able to join them with a view or a named query in the DSV so that Visit Count is just added as an extra column to the existing cube, this might be a more efficient approach.
