Two columns in a fact referncing one dimension

Hello, I'd like to have two columns in a fact which are connected to the same dimension. Is this possible in OWB and how ?
Thanks !

You may open two Key Lookup and select the same dimension twice and then use two different columns in lookup condition.

Can any one tell me what all are the steps in need to follow
2.What is standalone and integrated systems?

Hi
If u r having mapping keys for quarter level n monthly level then create a Alias for the dimension table.Use the original dim table for quarter level mapping and the alias dim for monthly level.

Joining Two facts with one dimension

hi,
Hello Experts,I am reporting out of 2 fact groups.
Mailing History and Booking.
The only common dimension between the 2 is the Person Dimension. I have created the hierarchies and defined the aggregation content in the LTS.This helps me in reporting using any column from the Facts or any one dimension from either of the fact groups. But if i select 2 or more dimensions , one or more from each fact group , then the report gives and error. A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 14026] Unable to navigate requested expression: MailingHistory Campaign.Campaign Name. Please fix the metadata consistency warnings. (HY000)
For Example : BookingDim--BookingFact-MailingHistoryFact (ok) MailingSourceDim--BookingFact-MailingHistoryFact works (ok) but BookingDim--BookingFact-MailingHistoryFact - MailingsourceDim (Fails ).
When i am applying the filter from the fact 1 . i am getting this error.(which is the column in the second fact table 2).I checked all the joins in the BMM layer.
Please help me!!!
Thanks,
Surya

Surya did you set the levels properly for two fact tables and also for metrics.
When ever you are using two fact groups with non confirmed dimensions you have to make sure all the content levels set for the fact tables and as well as for metrics.
in your fact tables/ metrics - For related dimensions set the level to Detail. and for the non related dimension set the level to Total. This way obiee server will understand what is related dimension and whats not related..
hope this works for you.

Joining 2 Facts to one Dimension.

Good Afternoon
I am currently developing a report with 2 Fact tables and only 1 Dimension (Exact Date).
How can i join the 2 Fact tables with using only the one dimension?
I know the formula is something like (FILTER USING)
Can someone please assist?
Regards
Rayno

Joining two fact tables to a dimension is a simple approach like how you join one dim and one fact. Similarly you will join second fact with the same dim.
If the fact tables are joined together and only one fact joins with dim then you can join both fact tables under one LTS in BMM layer and join that logical fact to the dim table.
OBIEE handles how to query both fact tables, as per your design.
Pls mark correct/helpful.

Dimension with two columns In DWH

Hi all,
I am new to SSIS. Can i know if it is good model to create the dimension with only two columns i.e the key & the dimension in data warehouse (Eg: Company key, company Name)..
Thanks
sush

Yes no problems with that. But if there are any directly related attributes in another tables which qualifies company entity and is required in analysis it would make sense to include them within same dimension to avoid snowflaking (lookups) like say Company
Status, CompanyGroup etc
Its better to have denormalised tables which would have as much related attributes as possible for analytical/reporting purpose. Even in SSAS it would enable facts to be analysed using any of these attributes using a single regular relationship with the
common unified dimension

Two column display

Greetings all,
I had a MovableType blog hosted by Yahoo and I decided to move the files to my Network Solutions account where the domain is registered.
All files were transferred and the DNS changed to point to the new location (http://theargonauts.info/index.html). But the blog, which used to display in two columns, now only displays in one. Previously when I've had this problem it was because there were too many or too few </div> tags at the end of the post where the break is supposed to occur, around line 100 in my Dreamweaver editor. But Dreamweaver doesn't show any unfinished <div> statements and adding or deleting them makes no difference, it still displays in one column. I thought there might be something in the .css but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is.
This is driving me crazy and any insight will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Smalex
(Original style html attached)

In the code for the page to which you linked, it appears that this div tag is unclosed -
<div id="container">
Try fixing that first.

Radio Button of two columns to be grouped

Dear Experts,
I have a table with columns like SUBSCRIBE and UNSUBSCRIBE which are wdy_boolean data type and displaying as radio buttons.
The problem is both columns are displaying as selected and want to make these two columns as group so only one can be selected.
I mapped cell variant with other column but its not hit.
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regrads
Siva Mandapudi.

Hello Siva,
To achieve this functionality do the following
1. Create one context attribute by name 'selectedValue' ( type string) under the context node of the table
2. create two columns in the table with name SUBSCRIBE and UNSUBSCRIBE (as you did already). let the cell editor be RadioButton. Cell variants are not required
3. Now for the SUBSCRIBE radio button, bind the 'selectedKey' property to 'selectedValue' context attribute. And maintain the 'KeyToSelect' property as 'SUBSCRIBE'
4. for the UNSUBSCRIBE radio button, bind the 'selectedKey' property to 'selectedValue' context attribute. And maintain the 'KeyToSelect' property as 'UNSUBSCRIBE'
so whenever the user selects a radiobutton, corresondinf values SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE will be stored in the selectedValue context attribute.
Hope this helps. you can refer the following article for more details

Show name field for two columns Fact Table joing by one Dimension

Hi all,
My question is about physical joins in Oracle BI EE.
Task is:
In a relational fact table "star" there is two columns Entity 1, Entity 2 and a table dimension Entity witch have two filds: ID and NAME. By loadind data fact table is filled with id for Entity 1 and Entity 2.
In a report made in Answers i need to show ID_Entity_1 NAME_Entity_1 ID_Entity_2 NAME_Entity_2
Question is: how to do physical join between two columns fact table and one dimension table entity so, that i can show name field in a report for both columns Entity 1, Entity 2.

You must Create an alias in the physical layer of your table dimEnsion and use it as a second dimension table.

Foreign Key join between two columns in a dimension to one column in Fact

Hi,
I have a requirement to join two columns in a Dimension to the same column in the fact.
My reports contains columns from this dimension and will need to use both the joins to get the correct values. So I am not sure if I create an alias to join the second column, if that will be output incorrect values.
How can we achieve this so that I can still use columns from the dimension and still run both the joins in my SQL eventually.
Dimension
Column 1
Column2
Fact
Column 3
Need to map Column1--->Column 3 and Column2 -----> Column 3
Thanks

I put it in Dimension and dimension extension scenario with a fact
The possible scenarios are:
1) Column1--->Column 3 and Column2 -----> Column 3
Both Column1 and Column2 have their own logical tables in BMM
2)
Column1--->Column 3
Column1--->Column2
In this case You have Logical table with 2 different sources Column1 and Column2 using column mapping.
you can go for multiple logical sources in this case, based on column selection tables in the join condition

One dimension and two fact report in OBIEE

Dear All,
I have one dimension "region" and two facts (Sales value & Gross margin%). Gross margin% is logical column which has been derived from two other facts column and it's value is in range from Zero to 100.
Now, I want to generate below report. For each gross margin% range of 5%, I want to sum the sales value for each region. Please assist (Just a small snapshot of report)
GM%     Region_1     Region_2
<0     254      619
0-0.05     524      799
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
Create Bins for Gross% fact column and go to pivot view place Gross% fact column into rows area,region column into columns section and sales value into measures section
hope it works

Referencing two fact keys from one dimension using Dim.Key = Fact.Key1 OR Fact.Key2 possible ?

Hi all
I need your help for an approach to the following problem. Lets say that i have the following dataset
AccountMonth
ActivityMonth
Amount
201307
201301
2.500
201307
201304
600
201307
201305
900
201307
201306
4.000
201307
201307
500.000
201308
201305
500
201308
201307
400
201308
201306
300
201308
201308
400.000
201309
201307
300
201309
201302
500
201309
201309
100.000
201310
201305
400
201310
201309
50.000
201310
201310
200.000
In my cube i want the user to select the Accountmonth from one time dimension, but i want some logic to also apply for the ActivityMonth. For one measure if I for example select 201307 i'll get this amount
AccountMonth
ActivityMonth
Amount
201307
201301
2.500
201307
201304
600
201307
201305
900
201307
201306
4.000
201307
201307
500.000
This is easy - Accountmonth dimension is related to AccountMonth column in the fact table. Now i also need another measure, where the month selected needs to be meet for both accounting and activity month. This is also easy, as i can just reference both
columns in the fact table. Result in this case is then only one row:
AccountMonth
ActivityMonth
Amount
201307
201307
500.000
Now the tricky part comes when I start to select more months, because the amount i need is where month combinations are shared, so if i for example choose 201307, 201308 and 201309 i don't just want
AccountMonth
ActivityMonth
Amount
201307
201307
500.000
201308
201308
400.000
201309
201309
100.000
I actually want the amount from which the months is in either accounting or activity, like this
AccountMonth
ActivityMonth
Amount
201307
201307
500.000
201308
201307
400
201308
201308
400.000
201309
201307
300
201309
201309
100.000
I know how to solve it either by having two time dimensions or using MDX, but user should only have to select from one time dimension. So far, solving it using Non-empty/existing in MDX is not performing fast enough. Feedback will be appreaciated if you
have an idea of how to solve this.

Error while adding two facts in One SA

Hello Experts,
I am new in OBIEE 11g. But with the concept of OBIEE 10g, I tried to work on 11g as well.
Requirement: One subject area with two dimensions and two facts.
In the warehouse we have 2 fact and 2 dimensions.
Dim – Programme.
Dim – Student.
Fact - UG Acad Student.
Fact - Award Student
Join Condition: Dim Programme and Dim student is connected to Fact - UG Acad Student. With proper key.
Fact - Award Student and Dim – Student is also connected to each other, but this fact is not joined with Programme dim.
What I am doing is:
•     Imported four tables in Physical layer made physical join based on above relationship.
•     Dragged both dim in BMM layer and created level based hierarchy. Created one fact table with two LTS(Physical fact table).
•     Made a complex join with logical fact and tow dim.
•     Set the content tab in fact table. In Award fact I set for student detail and in Fact - UG Acad Student I set for Programme dim and Student dim both.
•     Dragged all to Presentation layer an d trying to run Analysis selecting one column from all four tables.
It is giving bellow error:
It is creating logical query but not physical. I have disabled all cache.
Error:

Hi Venu,
Try this and let us know the output.
1. Make sure you have a level-based dimension for each of your logical table dimensions (both conforming and non-conforming).
2. For the fact table measures, set the levels as you did in 10g with the non-conforming dimensions at the Grand Total logical level for each measure.
3. For the fact table LTSs, set the logical level in the Content tab to the dimension's lowest level for each conforming dimension (leave the non-conforming dimensions level blank)
Mark if helps.
Thanks,
