Back to the slog

After what has been a pretty wasteful month so far culminating in an excessive trip to the 2005 V Festival I'm back on the more serious subject of work starting with a small tip in Analysis Services that I see get missed a lot on my travels.
You've got a dimension, say a time dimension that has levels of fiscal year, fiscal period and fiscal year. You have 2 cubes, one that looks at data at week level and another looking at period level for one reason or another. On many occasions I've seen a second time dimension added for the period level cube (or similar scenario) when all that needs to be done is disable the fiscal week level in the time dimnesion in the period cube.
It's pretty easy to find, in the cube editor open up the dimnesion whose level you want to disable, highlight the level and in the advanced settings set 'Disabled' to Yes and there you have it, one less dimension, member properties and performance hit to worry about.
