Manage Missing Dimension Members in Analysis Services

Overview

When Analysis Services processes a dimension, it attempts to match each dimension foreign key in the fact table with the corresponding dimension member's primary key in the dimension table. When no join exists (For example, when a value exists in the fact table but not in the dimension table) then Analysis Services will use "Unknown" in its place.

The "Unknown" member name can be changed through the Edit Dimension dialog.
