We are an ISV, and our product has to be localizable, so embedding strings in an expression like that is problematic.I must say, I'm a bit surprised that SSAS doesn't have better native support for boolean types."Jéjé" wrote in message news:%236rmuXNPGHA.2604@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcreate a calculated column in your DSV which provides the label you want.a formula like:case when column = 0 then 'False' else 'True' end"Kevin Dente" wrote in message news:ukufXOLPGHA.3888@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxWhat's the best way to go about defining a dimension attribute for a boolean data value in SSAS 2005? In our first cut, we used a bit column in the database, but that results in dimension members of 0 and -1, and we'd rather have "true" and "false" displayed in the OLAP browser. In there an easy way to have SSAS map the bit values to the boolean strings?
