Define Parent-Child Relationship (Dimension Wizard)

Use the Define Parent-Child Relationship page to enable and define a parent-child relationship for the dimension.

Note

This page is displayed only if you selected Build the dimension using a data source on the Select Build Method page and if you selected Standard dimension on the Select the Dimension Type page.

Important

The Dimension Wizard cannot define parent-child relationships for key attributes based on composite primary keys in the dimension table. You can define such relationships after completing the Dimension Wizard by using the Dimension Designer. For more information about Dimension Designer, see Dimension Designer (SSAS).
