Hi, I am trying to come up with a data model for creating Operating Budget and Capital Budget. Both tables have total of 5 colums where the first 3 columns are same such as dept/division/subdivision, but the next two colums are different: Ops branch and Cost Centre (Operating Budget) and Cap Branch and Project Node (Capital Budget). I have two questions:
1) What should be the dimention tables ; 2) Each Project Node column has associated activities in the fact table (wiht random numbers like-001, 002, 003) how to show these in reports if activities are not in the dimension table.
Any helpo will be greatly apreiated.Thanks a lot in advance!
Hi,
In each table, add a column (titled as Budget type) with Operating and capital appearing in that column. In the Query editor, standardise the headings in both tables. Append both tables. Create dimension tables for all columns. Create relationships from the appended table to the dimenstion tables.
Hope this helps.
