SSRS/MDX - A table with dataset pulled from a cube needs a column whose data is in sql db


I have a dataset that was build using MDX (analysis cube). I have a table with few columns. Now, I need to add one more column with specific data that is available in sql db and not cube. I know it is not possible to do that. What can I do to work around this issue?

Thank you


Solution

  • Hopefully you've using 2008R2, so you can use the LOOKUP or LOOKUPSET functions to match items from one datasource to another:

    It was released two years ago, so hopefully you're up to date?
