Power BI fact/dimension table

Hi, dear all, 

have question regarding Power BI fact/dimension table. 

Slightly confused about the answer of the below question. 

 

Our answer is:

Teacher First Name: Class Dimension

Period Number: Class Dimension 

 

if disagree, please let us konw why?

Thank you for your help. 

 

 

 

  • Hi! I think this is not the correct blog for these questions...anyway the solution is: 

    Teacher First Name belongs in the Teacher dimension because it is a descriptive attribute of the teacher, not a measurable fact...and period Number belongs in the Class dimension because in a star schema, the Period Number is a characteristic of the class rather than a metric.

    Regards,
