Varchar measure in Olap Cube

All the me开发者_如何学运维asures should be necessarily numerical? what about a varchar measure?

You cannot have real varchar measures. You can however create a calculated measure that has some varchar value assigned / calculated, but that is not what you want I believe.

What you can do is create a fact dimension (degenerate dimension) and use that field either as an attribute hierarchy or as a member property.
