There is no limit on the size of the fact table in Analysis Services. To use
a coined by Carl Sagan, I've seen partitions with BILLIONS and BILLIONS of
fact rows in them.

I would suggest that you look at some of the suggestions raised in the
Analysis Services Operations Guide
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2000/maintain/anservog.mspx
One of its recommendations (in the section titled "Processing Log File") is
to enable the system-wide processing log file option and retain long term
history of the processing done on your system. In the log file are all of
the processing requests, the SQL statement used and the final row counts
resulting from processing.

the data correctly for all the months but now it is not displaying any
figures for the 2003 although my fact table in the database has data
corresponding to that period. I am using full process method to process the
cube.
