Adding tables to the data model

1. Open up the FirstCubeTabular project.
2. Click on the Existing Connections button:
3. Click on the available connection and then click on the Open button.
4. Choose the Select from a list of tables and views to choose the data to
import option and click on Next .
5. Add the following tables to your model:
FactResellerSales
DimEmployee
DimReseller
DimGeography

7. The click on Close .
When you have imported the tables, the data and the relationships between the newly
imported tables will be added to your model. However, you will not get the relation-
ships between the newly imported tables and the existing tables. Instead, you need
to add these relationships manually. Perform the following steps to do this:
1. Click on the Diagram button in the lower right hand corner.
2. Mark the OrderDateKey column in the FactResellerSales table and drag-
and-drop it on the DateKey column in the DimDate table.
3. Perform the same step with the DueDateKey and the ShipDateKey columns.
4. Drag the SalesTerritoryKey column from the DimEmployee table and drop it
on the SalesTerritoryKey column in the DimSalesTerritory table.
