Need help regarding implementing SSAS solution using microsoft decision trees algorithm

Question

Hi All,
I am new to SSAS and Data Mining techniques. I dnt have a good knowledge about data mining in SSAS.  I have a requirement regarding predictive analysis and want to check whether i can implement SSAS for it. 
I have two tables namely Tree and Node. The Tree table has the columns namely NodeID, ParentID and Level. The ParentID in the tree table represents a node in the node table and at the same time the nodeid in the tree table also represents the nodeid in the
node table.
If you run the below query, it will list out all the possibilities of getting the nodename 'CTRYIMPACT - High - PRODIMPACT - Low - Question 6'
select p.*
from Node n, Tree t, Node p
where n.NodeName='CTRYIMPACT - High - PRODIMPACT - Low - Question 6'
and n.NodeId = t.NodeId
and t.ParentId = p.NodeId
I want to predict the various nodenames that are possible by inputting a NodeID using analysis services. If this is done, then i can implement it in my project. 
I went over this link to know about implementing decision tress but, they have used only a single table in the example. Since I have two tables i am struck in the middle. And also they have not specified clearly of what they need to achieve. They have just
stated that on changing the play the value changes.

Can anyone help me with this?
Below is the link for data containing the values for the Node and Tree table.

Thanks you and Kind Regards, Karthik Venkatraman

Hi Karthink,
Acording to your description, you need to predict the various nodenames that are possible by inputting a NodeID using analysis services, right?
In your scenario, in order to make prediction in Data Mining Model, we would create a prediction query. Before we can create a prediction query, we need to build a Data Mining Model. Please refer to the links below to see the detail infomaton.
