Can I filter the data on mining structure, mining model?

I perform data mining on all products and a specific product category.
Do I need to create 2 data source views, one for all products and the other one for the specific product category?
Afterward, I run the Data Mining Wizard 2 times to create 2 mining structures.
I also need to add the same mining model (e.g. Bayes, Cluster) to each of these mining structures.
Is there any simple way to do it?

Thanks.
Joe.

Yes you'd need to use two data sources. However instead of going through the wizard twice and recreating all the contained models, you could use SQL Mgmt Studio to script the mining structure and its contained models, modify the name in the generated script and then run t. To do this, right-click on the mining structure in SQL Mgmt Studio and select "Script Mining Structure As"-> CREATE TO.

Can Calculated Measures be in specific Measure Group?

I have two measure groups in my cube, and a calculated measure that only uses measures from one of the measure groups. Is there a way to assign that calc measure to one of my measure groups, so in client applications, users will find in in a logical place, rather than sitting all by itself where it might be confusing?

Thanks

Kory

Yes they can. The feature is well hidden away though:
In BIDS select your cube and the calculations tab. Then select the Cube-> Calculation Properties menu item.|||

Yes, certainly. In the Cube Editor in BIDS, go to the Calculations tab and click on the 'Calculation Properties' button on the toolbar (it's next to the buttons which switch between form view and script view). You can associate calculated measures with measure groups in the resulting dialog.

HTH,

Chris
