Hierarchy in RPD

Question

I have one requirement that when I click one column,I can drill down different low level for different report.
For example:
Report A has one column named region, when I click this column which can drill down to district.
Report B have the same columm ,when I click this column which can drill down to store.
For this functionality, how to design the hierarchy in RPD. Please help me if you know the answer.

Answer 1

try my suggestion
If you know the different drill paths that you to incorporate in the reports, create multiple dimensions for location (duplicates with same existing joins), create logical hierarchy for each of >them with desired drill path, use respective hierarchy for respective drill path.for instance,
your natural path is A->B->C->D -- you achieve this with existing hierarchy.
you need A->B->D and A->C->D. You duplicate the dimension twice in your rpd, make all the joins, content levels in your facts.
for A->B->D, create logical dimension and create the appropriate levels without level C, do the same for A->C->D.
But best practices is my only concern with this approach.
