An alternative to this is you can import the live db to BIDS (File, open SSAS db), go to calculations add/change what you need in terms of calculations, under the calculation tab (truly doesn’t matter where) hit process, it will refresh the configuration on the deployed db, the “process cube” window will appear, close out and browse the cube to make sure the new calculations are available/updated. It truly comes down to “what way you feel more comfortable with”. If you do it through BIDS, I recommend using “script view” over the “form view” when adding/changing calculations—I’ve experienced some serious latency with using “form view”. I’ve done both of the aforementioned methods and both essentially accomplish the same thing. The “Going through BIDS” method I used when a supporting vendor overwrote calculations I had created because he deployed it from an outdated project that he found on the server; the changes were instant. I like the method mentioned in the article, on the go, no BIDS available–its a good option.
