Hi asriniva33,

 

I have tested it on my local environment, we can reproduce this issue. The issue is cause by that there is no a directly relationship between those two dimension table. I use AdventureWorksDW2012 sample database in my test. I get data from three tables below.
DimDate
DimProductCategory
FactInternetSales
there is no directly relationship between DimProductCategory and FactInternetSales, the relationship is
FactInternetSales->DimProduct->DimProductSubcategory->DimProductCategory 

when I load DimProduct and DimProductSubcategory, the issue disappear.
