Dimension - Repetive values

Question

If I am viewing a fact table (25 Million+ records) from SE11 is there anyway that I can easily check how often a value for one of the dimensions (columns) repeats itself.
If there is another method to do the same could you advise. Thanks

Answer 1

you can do this by writing an ABAP code (in SE38). The actual code may look like :
REPORT  ZT1.
PARAMETERS : W_COUNT type i default 100.
tables : DIMTAB.
data : dbcur(10) type c.
data : w_dimtab like dimtab occurs 1 with header line.
exec sql.
open dbcur for
select * from DIMTAB a
where :w_count <= ( select count(*) from DIMTAB b
where b.dimid = a.dimid )
endexec.
do.
  exec sql.
  fetch next dbcur into structure :DIMTAB.
  endexec.
  if sy-subrc <> 0.
     exit.
  else.
     append DIMTAB to w_DIMTAB.
  endif.
enddo.
*exec sql.
*close dbcur.
*endexec.
sort w_dimtab.
delete adjacent duplicates from w_DIMTAB comparing DIMID.
loop at w_DIMTAB.
write :/ w_DIMTAB-DIMID.
endloop.
