2 Fact table help

Fact 1

Store    Dept    Promo Flag

201       9          Y

202       9          N

 

Fact 2

Store   Dept    Sales

201      9          1000

202      9          2050

 

Dimension

Store, Dept, Promo Flag joined 1 to many

 

Incorrect Result I'm getting

Store    Dept    Sales    Promo

201       9          1000    Y

201       9          1000    N

 

I'm looking to get the result of

Store    Dept    Sales    Promo

201       9          1000    Y

 

I'm not sure why I'm getting duplicate rows with every value within the Promo Dimension.

Does anyone have any insights or ideas of whats going on or how to resolve this?

Thanks

  • Hi, pokdbz 

     

    I think it is because Promo Flag Table is not filtering Fact2 table. (check the below picture's filtering direction)

     

    You can try to write the measure for the Sales Total like below. Then it will work properly. But be careful when using crossfilter Function in DAX measure. In this case, because the model is not that complicated to understand, it should work properly.

    Sales Total =
    CALCULATE( SUM(Fact2[Sales]), CROSSFILTER( Fact1[Store], Store[Store],Both))

      Thanks for the help that worked.

      If I wanted to add a 3rd fact table and again display the result of another dimension DSD_Flag.

      Fact3

      Store    Dept   DSD_Flag

      201       9         Y

       

      When I add the 3rd fact table its displaying the same row again with all values for DSD Flag

      Looking to produce this.  

      Store    Dept    Sales    Promo    DSD Flag

      201       9          1000    Y             Y

      201       9          1000    Y             N

       

      Looking to produce this.  

      Store    Dept    Sales    Promo    DSD Flag

      201       9          1000    Y             Y

        Hi,

        I think you can try something like the below.

         

         

        Sales Total =
        CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Fact2[Sales] ),
        CROSSFILTER ( Fact1[Store], Store[Store], BOTH ),
        CROSSFILTER ( Fact3[Dept], Dept[Dept], BOTH )
        )
