Hi, I slightly changed the data to show a real case.

Below printscreen of the relationship. I would like to count based on the field Priority in the dimension table.Relationship

And hereafter a printscreen of the Fact, Dimension tables as matrix.

Please look at DocumentId 5, it should be counted once for StatusID=3 and not StatusID 4. Why ? Based on the priority (the lower the more important), StatusID 3 is prior. So I would like to count it for that status.

But for this, I need to be able to sort based on the Priority column.

 

Matrix of Fact, Dimension and result

 

Any suggestion ?
