Creating a table from data in a SQL server db

I have a form with a drop down box so the user can select a quote.. When a quote is selected i need to populate a table of all the records associated with the quote id. I need the table to be created in such a way that the user can add new rows, delete rows and edit the data. Then all of the changes need to be written back to the database. Whats the most efficient/best way of doing this and if you have any ideas can you explain them as thoroughly as possible! I'm currently upgrading an access database to a sql server back end with an asp.net client and it's taking me a while to get to grips with all the changes!
Thanks in advance,
Chrisyou could create a dataset/datatable at the front end with the samestructure as the actual table in the db. You can then use thedataset/datatable and do all the modifications and push the entiretable back to the sql db. check out articles about datasets and youwould find enough info.

creating a boolean measure

Hello,

I've created a new measure where my source column is of type Boolean and have selected aggregate type "None" (simply because I just need to show true or false while browsing my cube).

However, when i deploy my cube and browse it, it shows empty cells against my dimension.

It doesnt allow me to select aggregate "First Non Empty Value" and i get a messag saying "Semi-additive measure requires a time dimension"

any suggestions would be appreciated...This is my desired output

Accepted

Submission 1 True

Submission 2 False

Submission 3 True

.

.

.

and so on. where Submission is my dimension and Accepted is my Measure.

TIA

Any reason why you couldn't create, rather than a measure, a dimension like "AcceptStatus", with members "True" and "False"?|||

Deepak,

Thanks for your reply.. Thats a very valid question. I forgot to eloborate that I already have a dimension called "Accepted" and it works just fine while browsing the cube against "Submission".

However , my client application is Performance Point Dashboard Designer so I need to convert this to a Measure to be able to use it as a KPI in the client application.

Thanks

|||In that case, you could create a calculated measure, which returns a value based on the member of "Accepted" with data, rather than creating a cube measure. If you provide more details of your data and of the required KPI, that would help.
