Steps:5
In the Solution Explorer under Dimensions,
double-click DimDate.To make the date
attributes available, highlight all of them (except
DateKey, which as you can see is already in the
attribute list) and drag them to the attribute list.
Date, of course, is a dimension that can be
naturally defined as a hierarchy (like you did
quite manually in the T-SQL grouping examples).
Drag Fiscal Quarter from the Attributes pane to
the Hierarchies pane to start creating a
hierarchy.
Drag Month Number of Year to the tag under
Fiscal Quarter, and DateKey similarly below that.
Finally, rename the hierarchy (right-click it and
choose Rename) to Fiscal Quarter - Month
Step 5 : Make a Cube Wizard
Steps:6
Save the DimDate dimension and close the dimension editor. You will be prompted to save
changes to your cube along with the new dimension changes.
For each of the other dimensions, don’t create hierarchies for now, but bring all the interesting
text columns into the Attributes pane (you can bring over all the non-key columns except for
the Large Photo column in the Products table), and re-save the dimensions.

and hierarchies (look for the Fiscal Quarter - Month hierarchy under the Due Date dimension)
into the query pane
