Help with Dimensions Crossing Measure Groups

  • Thank you in advance for you help:

    I have two fact tables:

    Customer Facts - Has facts like Monthly Balance etc. I know this could be a Customer Balance Fact table but the issues would be the same.

    Campaign Facts Snapshot - This holds the current status of all Campaings by Customer and shares the Customer Dimension with the Customer Facts. However, this Fact also has a Campaign Dimension that is not shared.

    What I would like to do is apply the Campaign Dimension and in turn filter / group the Customer Facts by the Customers that are in the Campaign. I know this can be done, but not sure how. I believe I could create a Bridge Fact Table, but not sure that's the right approach or not.

    Customer Facts:

    Customer ID Balance

    1 500

    2 600

    3 300

    Campaign Facts:

    Campaign Dim Key Customer ID

    1 1

    2 1

    1 2

    2 3

    3 1

    Results I need in the cube whe applying the Campaign Dim and using the Balance Measure

    Campaign Dim Balance

    1 1100 (from cust 1 and 2 only)

    2 800 (from cust 1 and 3 only)

    3 500 (from cust 1 only)

  • I think you could just create a new "cube dimension" based on the FactCampaign table. In the dimension usage tab, the association to the FactCustomer table would be a reference relationship via the Customer dimension.

    That would allow you to slice FactCustomer measures (such as Account Balance) by CampaignID.
