Dimension Wizard - Select Levels

In this step of the wizard, you can define certain columns as levels in your dimension. The columns you can use appear under Available columns.

The default setting in this step allows for members of a selected level to be counted. This is required for cube processing. It may take some time to process levels with a large number of members. To speed up the dimension creation process, clear the Count level members automatically check box. If automatic counting of level members is turned off, you must manually enter an estimated number for levels using the Properties pane in the Dimension editor or respond to individual prompts during cube processing.

For more information about dimension levels, see Defining Dimensions.
