Re: Handling slow changing dimension



Thank you,
There is a problem:
How I can refer from MDX the first "Paul" or the Second "Paul" under "John"?
My tests show that in an example expression: Customer.John.Paul I refer the
last Paul inserted into RDBMS...
How I can refer the first?
Which impact of enabling duplicate keys in parent members (like aggregation,
member calculation etc)?
Thank you
