Hi Ken.

Have you looked into SSAS Display Folders? They are more flexible than people usually think:

Hi bcnagel,

this is for measures, what about dimensions?
When it comes to dimensions, during cube development you can set any ordering of dimensions that you would like (using the Cube Structure tab), but in my experience Excel ignores that ordering. What about naming your dimensions such that their alpha order is the order your users want?
