Microsoft Dynamics AX provides a default calendar definition called the Date dimension. You can modify this calendar definition, but changes you make to the Date dimension will affect all cubes that use the Date dimension. Instead you may want to create a new date dimension.

To create a date dimension

  1. Open the Date dimensions form. For more information, see Date dimensions (form).

  2. Click New.

  3. In the Calendar properties pane, type a name and label for the calendar.

  4. Specify calendar properties.

  5. Click Hierarchies. Select the date dimension hierarchies to include.

  6. Click Close.

To add the new date dimension to an Analysis Services project

  1. Click Tools > Business Intelligence (BI) tools > Analysis Services project wizard.

  2. Click Next. Click Update and then click Next again.

  3. Select the project to which you want to add a Date dimension and then click Next. After the Analysis Services project is verified, click Next again.

  4. Select the perspectives that correspond to the cubes to which you want to add a date dimension.

  5. Click Next two times.

  6. Select the dimension you created and move it to the Selected pane.

  7. Complete the Analysis Services project wizard. For more information, see Working with Analysis Services Projects.

You cannot remove a date dimension by using the Analysis Services project wizard. You must delete it by using Microsoft SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS).
