I have a ssas cube with a customer dimension that displays special characters (chinese..etc). These characters do not show up properly when I bring the associated attribute in Excel. In the dimension table the info type is stored as char. I also changed the collation of both dimension and attribute but this did not help. Creating a language translation did not help as well. What should I do?

    CHAR in the database won’t work for UNICODE strings. Chinese characters usually involve using the upper end of the codepage (multi-byte characters). You need NCHAR/NVARCHAR.
