• Visual Studio VS Express Edition upgrades?

  Hello there, I have questions regarding whether or not the VS Express Editions are having upgrades before the offer expires (was it end of this year... ) and how do upgrades happen. 1.

  Hello, I've created a virtual cube that joins two cubes, it has some dimensions in common, let's say DM1, DM2, and each cube have separate measures lets say for cube1 MC1 and for cube2 MC2 The cube2 has a dimension that is not common and is a parent-child one (let's say, DMPC), When I create the virtual cube I want the two measures, but since MC2 belongs to cube2 and this one has DMPC, the MC2 is shown correctly but the MC1 is only shown in the "All Members" cell, and not in each of the child cells, someone know how I can do this The concrete question will be: In a virtual cube, how I can get the sum of a measure that belongs to one cube and repeat it all over one parent-child dimension Thanks in advance!
