I have a fairly complex dataset with multiple fact and dimension tables and its getting difficult to create a single data model which resembles anything close to a traditional star schema. I'm thinking of creating separate simple data model star schema layouts with only 1 or 2 fact tables and required dimension tables around them..Then create the visuals I need over them separately and then publish all reports to 'my workspace' and bring them all together in a single dashboard.
1) Should I do this or its not possible or advisable ?
2) Will dimension slicers still work across visualizations (from different data model/reports) in the same dashboard (because eventually they are all from the same data source) ? I'm guessing not..

Trust me: any dataset can be decomposed into a star schema. It does not matter how many fact tables you have. They can be linked through conformed dimensions.
