I agree here that quite often, while it seems like it is great to create a golden data set in reality, this often doesn't happen as expected due to the complexities and different business areas. I would recommend trying to do one area at a time, and once you've got a handle on all the different areas over time, then see if it is possible to build a golden data set.

Community ChampionHi lbendlin I'd like to ask...why an exercise in futility?
- lbendlin
Look at it from both sides
Microsoft is vastly underestimating the complexity of any large enterprise organization and the insane amount of silos.
Large Enterprises are unwilling or unable to enforce best practices around data stewardship and data warehouse design and to reduce the insane amount of silos.

But if data stewardship and sound EDW design were in place...? Like the semantic models were almost the equivalent of an MDX cube pulling data from EDW it might work?

Ahahaha, good one...Yes, that would be great.
