The import object from Excel and the cube data loader are initialized when executing the example. The dimensions bindings and facts of created cube are set up according to the information about source fields. A multilingual dictionary will be created for countries. On executing the Load method a new standard cube, required dictionaries for dimensions and a table to store data will be created. The data will be imported to the created table.
