If you¹re going to incrementally build a cube, you need specify the ³partition column² when create the cube, and give it a start date; Then when you run it, Kylin will ask you to enter an end date; Kylin will use this start date and end date as condition to generate the intermediate flat table. You can run a Kylin sample to get it.
Regarding your questions: the date column need be on fact table, while it is not a must that the date be a dimension.
