proclarity question

Hi,

I have a question regarding Proclarity viewer and whether it can assists me.

I have a UDM as follows.

A fact table containing a sale for each salesman. There can be more that one row per salesman

This Fact is connected to a dimension dim_salesman that hold details about each salesman and other more dimensions.

Another fact containing a number of vacations each salesman took. There is more that one row per salesman.

This fact also connected to the same dim_salesman and and other more dimensions.

I want to inquire for example - how many vacations and sales each saleman had, sliced by the dim_saleman.

If I uses a pivot table excel to view a report that contains data from both fact tables I get wrong data.

Is the proclarity viewer able to browse 2 different fact tables and join them to a single report?

Thank for you help.

Hello. Both ProClarity Professional 6.2 and Excel 2007 can create reports from data in two separate fact tables.

This is not as much a client question but how you have related the two measure groups(fact tables) in the cube editors dimension usages tab. In SSAS2005 one cube can have several fact tables(measure group).
