I am using SSAS OLAP in SQL Server 2012. My server has 16 GB or RAM - it has only OLAP engine that is being used - nothing related to the relational engine. My fact table has a column called Product Status - for which I've a Fact dimension. Fact table has 18M rows, but the Product Staus has only 2-3 distinct values. When my users bring that attribute in their analysis, the response time is very slow - 10 to 15 minutes. Can anyone share their experiences with how I can go about optimizing this?
I tried to use the user based optimization, but the wizard suggests no aggregations.
Thanks!
