As mentioned, DW queries typically involve large scans of data and aggregation. Very selective seeks are not common for reports from a DW. Therefore, nonclustered indexes generally don't help DW queries much. However, this does not mean that you shouldn't create any nonclustered indexes in your DW.
An attribute of a dimension is not a good candidate for a nonclustered index key. Attributes are used for pivoting and typically contain only a few distinct values. Therefore, queries that filter based on attribute values are usually not very selective. Nonclustered indexes on dimension attributes are not good practice.
DW reports can be parameterized. For example, a DW report could show sales for all ...
