Yes the product hierarchy is a complete mess (you know what they say, rubbish in, rubbish out), I simply assigned those missing a parent to “Total”.

Ideally a tool like impPalo should be using an existing cleansed dimensional model not the raw OLTP model. Let a true ETL tool like Kettle do the initial heavy lifting, cleansing and creation of conformed dimensions and then let impPalo do its magic.

Cubeware should really improve their demo, comes across as very amateurish, and it takes away from an otherwise excellent product.

I am glad you have completed it.
I had problems in uploading the dimension for product groups.
It seems that for each new element with a parent, the paprent must already have been defined.
If the products table is uploaded, the tree is messed up because when it encounters the unknown parent, it will place it at the top.
How did you manage this?
