Drilldown by several different attributes - several distinct multilevel hierarchies or just one

Currently I have a schema that includes orders and the details associated with each order.  Nothing real special or complicated.  However both the Order and the Details can have a multitude of attributes associated with them.  For example,
an Order can have:
BusinessType
MarketType
SalesPerson
Account
Department
Order Details might include:
TransactionType
TransactionAmount
ItemNumber
OrderId
So, Im setting up my DW and have used the AdventureWorks 2008 sample for a lot of guidance.  I want to provide users the ability to see order revenue by grouping on one or more of several of the attributes on the Order.  Right now I have a single
Measure group and fact table for Revenue.  It includes the Order Details along with the OrderId.  Then I made a Fact Dimension that includes just the Account and OrderNumber (similar to order id but different).  This leaves me with the question:
If your main fact table has several related Dimensions that users might want to slice by
and in each case, the grouping will be at least 2 levels deep, will I need to build several different Fact dimensions, each with just the attributes that will be included in that hierarchy?  Seems like it.  This looks like what the
Adventureworks sample is doing with the different Fact dimensions that are setup for Internet Sales vs Reseller Sales.  

IF I understand you question completely, you want to know that you need to create as many fact dimension as attributes you have in the fact table.
Yes this is right and this is called Degenerated dimension in the Data Warehousing concepts.
If you have too many attribute in the fact for the dimensional analysis then you can create a junk dimension as well including all the attributes in single database table. IN your case the ItemNumber and OrderID can be included in single junk dimension.

  • How can I set the default in "Write" to display several email address instead of just one?

    Like to see more than one person on the Write screen at a time. The default seems to move the first one up.
    I would rather like to have at least four be able to be seen without any scrolling of addresses. Am familiar with config editor if necessary.

    On my system it was set to the default of 3 address fields. When I went into the config editor and modified the line quoted above to 5 and restarted Thunderbird, the next time I open a Write window I have 5 address fields.
    Only after I fill those 5 fields does the first field scroll up and out of view.
    Yes you can drag the bottom edge of the subject field down to show more fields but this is not permanent. The next time you open a write window it will show the number of fields set in the config editor.

  • Several PDFs open even if just one is wanted

    Hi!
    For quite a few users here where I work it happens that when double-clicking a PDF in the Finder to open it in Acrobat, not only that PDF opens but a lot (50 or so) other PDFs that has been opened previously.
    Is it is now I tell people to wait for all PDFs to open and then option/alt-click the close button to close all windows in one go. Doing this seems to help at least temporarily.
    What is the cause for this and how can it be avoided?
    The Creative Suite is deployed via a deployment solution (FileWave) so the software isn't really installed in a ”normal” way. I don't know it that's got anything to do with this behavior.

    I believe an update fixed this issue.

  • How can I Publish to a Folder just one of the several websites I have created using iWeb?

    How can I Publish to a Folder just one of the several websites I have created using iWeb?
    it drives me nuts having to emove all the other websites when I want to upload one. 
    Sparrow

    For iWeb, I like to do only one site per domain file.  I move domain files out of the Application Support folder and place them inside project or client folders, or in DropBox. Once you duplicate a domain file and begin customizing it, it will load and behave as a separate project/site.
    I publish each iWeb domain/project direct to a server via FTP. Sometime I publish to a folder, then upload via FTP manually.
    iWeb is a remarkable tool, especially when you work from scratch with blank tamplates
    Here are a few of my iWeb sites:

  • How do I use the same css style but different attributes, Without affecting another page.

    Hey everyone,
    I am using the "NivoSlider", for my dreamweaver page but I am not sure how to tell styles that one page has one attribute and the other one will have a different attribute.
    For example: in my "about us" I have a small slideshow with its own pictures. I then put  a gallery page with its own pictures, yet, I want to make that slideshow box larger without affecting the other small slideshow.
    I am using just one Style.CSS for the slideshow.
    Anyways, is their a way to tell tell the code that one page is going to be a different width then the other?
    Thank you!

    Embedded CSS rules take priority over styles in external style sheets.   So you can add page specific rules between your document's <head> tags and after all other links to external CSS files.
    <style>
         page specific rules here....
    </style>

  • Is there a way to add transitions to several still pictures without doing them one at a time

    Is there a way to add transitions to several still pictures without doing them one at a time

    You don't say which version of the program you're using but, in version 10, if you select several media clips on the timeline at once, you can right-click and select the option to Add Default Transition between them all. (You can also designate any transition as the Default Transition.)
    You can also use the Slideshow Creator in the Media panel to apply the Default Transition between any stills you've gathered to create a slideshow from.
    And, if you create your slideshow in the Elements Organizer (prior to sending it to Premiere Elements), you can select the option to add random transitions between your slides.
    You can learn how to do all of these thing step by step in my books, by the way, if you're interested.

  • Transfering several PR's from R3 to one SRM bid invitation

    Good morning,
    We are using Plan driven procurement and bidding with Extended classic
    scenario (SRM 5.0).
    Indicator IMG sourcing is
    "Sourcing via automatic bid invitation for items without a source of
    supply"
    Is it possible to transfer several PR's from R3 to one SRM bid
    invitation?
    Thanks in advance.
    Alexey

    Thanks, i think it is possible whis IMG sourcing indicator:
    "Automatic grouping and creation of a bid invitation in the case of items without assigned source of supply"
    If a source of supply is not assigned, the report Automatic Grouping of Requirements for POs and Bid Invitations automatically attempts to create a bid invitation from several requirement items. If is unable to do so, this is recorded in the error log of the report.

  • Different attribute for UPN for specific SPN

    Hi,
    is it possible to use a different attribute in AD as the UPN for a specific SPN?
    For example, if I access http://webserver.company.com and it has spnego (kerberos auth) configured it can use the default UPN attribute but if I browse to http://myspecialweserver.company.com (which also has spnego enabled) I want a different attribute to be
    used for the UPN inside the kerberos ticket for example [email protected] The reason behind is that the webservers are not IIS servers so they have their own user store in which they look up the users to make sure they have a valid account.
    Many thanks,

  • Illustrator saving vectors with different attributes than assigned prior to saving

    I am having a problem whenever I save a document in Illustrator.
    Near the edges of the page, I am placing a few rectangular vectors filled in only with black.
    When I save the image as a .pdf, two of these get changed.
    One on top, and one on bottom, at the exact same x placement.
    Prior to saving, they are all completely identical with the same attributes.
    I even deleted the old ones, replaced them with new ones, which I copied from other marks that were not messing up, and saved the .ai file as a .pdf again, but to no avail.
    Please help as I have no idea what to do to fix this.
    I have tried unchecking save as an illustrator editable file, save with layers, etc.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Well, I believe that it is simply the way that adobe was displaying it, because if I zoom in on the .pdf file, the added thickness disappears.
    The same thing happens when I have the letter I in text, not sure why this happens, but I no longer think it is an issue.
    That letter 'l' looking thicker is a known issue with a PDF file... as you've noticed, it clears up when you zoom in and also, it doesn't print like that...
