I am new to SSDT and I'm following the Analysis Services Tutorial called Multidimensional Modeling (Adventure Works Tutorial). And I'm currently on Lesson 3, on the step Modifying the Customer Dimensions under the heading "Modifying Attribute Relationships".

When I open the Dimension Designer window for my Customer Dimension, if I click on the attribute tab, I receive a long error message. I've been searching online and found nothing about this error. does anyone know what is the cause of this error? I've checked my font folder and I have Arial font already.

Describe your environment from Visual Studio Help / about window - version & build for VS itself also, SQL Server Analysis Services (from the Installed Products list). You aren't using VS 2015?Hesta
is this the information you were wanting? Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.6.01586 SP1RelMagocsi
Go back to Help / About, then scroll down in the Installed Products list and find the entry for SQL Server Analysis Services. What version is that?Hesta
Can you upgrade to VS 2015 with the latest SSDT? You are using v old software.Hesta
I suppose I could, but the tutorial I'm following is tailored to VS2012. I'm doing this for a grad school course. If the error is related to a bug in the version, then why would it work for the microsoft people writing the tutorial?Magocsi
