Let's create the cube using table dimproduct and its category. This is the also example of snow-flake schema.
1. create datasource view using below tables
    dimproduct,
    dimeproductcategory,
    dimproductsubcategory
figure-1 
As we can see category related data reside in tables upto 3-hierarchy level, so we can say that it can be a example of snowflake schema.
  
2. Now launch the Dimension Wizard from solution-explorer .
