It's not recommended, and I suggest you to keep an eye on star schema modelisation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_schema

But If you want to add your tables in a cube you will need to duplicate it. two tables will be used to create your measures (Aggregation, Sum, Count, Comparison, ...) two other tables will be used to create your dimensions (Attributes, filters, ...)

I drew a small model for you enter image description here

From Table1 (Dimension) and Table1 (Fact) your key will be facttable1.ID and From Table1 (Dimension) and Table1 (Fact) your key will be your Foreign key

Does it help you?

You need to create at least 1 dimension: for your case you can create New Named Query based on your view using ID as Key-Attribute for Dimension.
