Multi Tables ? and one filter ?

Hi,

 

We have a fact table with multiple id for one row from the same table ( like multi date , order, shipping ...)

( recipient_id, requestor_id, operator_id, last operator_id etc ... from the same table employe )

 

If i create only one dimension table, i have to obligatory a measure by type ? ( nb recipient , nb requestor etc .. with userelationship )

 

If i create 5 dimension tables , how with 1 filter , filter the 5 tables ?

 

What is the best practices ?

An another solution ?

 

Env : SSAS , SQL 2016 , power bi , VS 2015

 

Thanks for your helps and advises

    What field do you use to create the filter? And what result do you want to get when using the filter? Please share us dummy data of fact table and post expected result here.

      The client want filter with Name for example here demo  : Julie

      where Julie can be found in recipient or requestor or operator or last operator

       

      These 4 foreign keys point to the same table used , same views in the cube ssas.

        Cobra77,

        The issue is more related to SSAS database design, I would recommend  you post the question in SSAS forum to get dedicated support.
