I am creating a basic model connecting to Synapse DB using Direct Query Mode. These are the steps I followed.
1) Using Direct Query loaded Fact_Table,Dim1, Dim2,Dim3 tables.
2) I created Aggregation Table using following SQL
SELECT [Dim1]
,[Dim2]
,[Dim3]
,sum([Measure]) Measure
FROM [Fact_Table]
Group by [Dim1]
,[Dim2]
,[Dim3]
3) Created relationships between tables as highlighted in the screenshot
4) After that applied Manage Aggregations on “Aggregation Table” (Sum on Measure and Group by on Dim1,Dim2,Dim3)
5) Once I am done with Manage aggregation when change the “Storage Mode” to Import I am getting following error
Column 'Item_number' in Table ‘Dim1’ contains a duplicate value '00000000000001122'
and this is not allowed for columns on the one side of a many-to-one relationship or for columns that are used as the primary key of a table.“
By looking at the error I can sense that this is something to do with Duplicate values in Dim1 table, but just for one report purpose I cannot really change the entire Dim1 table.
Please suggest any work arounds which can help to fix this issue?
Solved! Go to Solution.
As the workaround, try create a distinct table as a bring to connect Dim1 and Aggregation Table.
Distinct item_number = Distinct(Dim1[Item_number])
