Level 200 module 212 - 1: Product to GL Account Mapping Cube Empty
Am I missing a data reader where we'd load Product Category & Account through a data reader? I would think it would just pull in the values, matrixed, and let me check yes/no. I'm prepared to feel dumb on this one! But I built the screens and don't see any 'box' to check for that single value cube in step 3.2 Thanks! Matt

Level 200 Module 207: Build a Data Model and Capsule Procedure to increase the CY budget by 5%
