Taking this into consideration that:

  1. My cube’s DSV reads only from views on the DW
  2. I have access to create and alter these views

Lets say that I need a new field in my table CUSTOMER on the DSV witch is mapped directly to a view vwCustomer on the DW.

All the information necessary to this new field can be found on the view vwCustomer. Any advantage on creating that field as a named calculation over altering the view?

    1. Calculation isn’t available to other applications/reports that may need to leverage it.
    2. …

    that’s actually all I can think of off the top. Definitely no performance benefit to either method. My preference would be to implement it in the view.
