Drilling Down in a Scorecard
You may notice that when you add dimension data from a cube into a scorecard, that the scorecard does not keep the cube's hierarchy (doesn't allow you to drill down) by default.
At this time, you have to add the hierarchy information manually to the scorecard.
To work around this, there are a couple things you need to do:
1. After you add all the members to the scorecard, you have to manually recreate the hierarchy, by choosing "Decrease Level" from the ribbon.
2. Also, make sure your KPI is set to "Source Data" for its calculation type. Otherwise the top value (Sales Amt) will not show up.
3. When you are done, click "Update" to load the data from Analysis Services.

Has anyone found an automated method for this? Supratim.Biswas and I have the same concern for large dimensions.Anonymous

I hope the capability to automatically add large dimensions with their hierarchies will be added to an upcoming release. Unless there is a Hotfix or Service Pack that addresses this! I'm seconding Supratim and J0EE on this request. :-) It is PAINSTAKING to have to do this for EACH level and ALL of the members of a given hierarchy. Any ideas on when this will be available?

Many months have passed since the last commment on this blog entry. I'm wondering if you are going to continue development on the tool, and if so, will you provide a method to resolve the hierarchy issue discussed in this blog entry? Also, where can I submit other enhancement requests? Thanks, ReubenAnonymous
