Suppose there is a column 'addddate' in the groups table and I like to add dimensions like "year(adddate) as year" and a hirarchy "month(adddate) as month" in the cube.Can some body help me soon. Hi,

They will break Pentaho. To remove, delete the slanted single quotes and replace with standard single quote.

For Example the Report Designer manages JDBC connections, in the case of connecting to SQL 2005 it lets you define a .jar file its classes and connection string. This cannot be achived using the ReportDesignerWizard or using the Pentaho Design Studio. On the other hand, I would like to connect directly using XMLA directly to Analysis Services 2000, but I cannot find any examples.

Trying to sort it out myself, but not getting that far. A step by step would be great!

I am having difficulty in trying to figure out how my SQL DB, the mondrian datasource and the .xaction are wired with each other!! Thanks in advance. - Nix Hi Nic,

I would definately like to see step by step instructions on setting up Mondrian with a database and building the schema definition. Nic, these are outstanding tutorials on Pentaho.
