many to many dimension

Hi all,

Is there a way to create a dimension property based on fact table used to connect a dimension to another measure group. I found a example where such an attibute is used for a measure expression(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345139.aspx) but I really need a property that I could display to the end user.

thx

Hi again...just to be a bit more clear on what I'm trying to do...if you look at the example I mentioned....how could the value of the 'ownership' be displayed instead of used in a calculation?

Fred

|||Well, in this example, the user could browse the value of the 'ownership' measure in the intermediate measure group, for a given selection of Store and Organization. If that's not adequate, you could define a fact dimension for the intermediate measure group fact table, and add 'ownership' as an attribute (with the appropriate type).|||

Thanks Deepak! The fact dimension will do the trick
