Implementing Multiple Fact Tables

The document discusses implementing multiple fact tables in an OBIEE repository file. It provides steps to create a data model with two fact tables - Sales_Fact and Cost_and_Prices_fact - and three dimension tables. It explains combining the two fact tables by adding Cost_and_Prices_Fact as an additional source to Sales_fact, making Product a bridge dimension between the two facts. The tutorial then describes adding logical sources to the Sales_fact table to complete the multiple fact table implementation.

Objective
Many of time people ask me some way to create the data model
consists of multiple Fact table so I thought I should create a
simple example for people who are new to OBIEE.

The tutorial follows step by step approach to create a Data Model


(RPD) with multiple fact tables.

The example I’m going to use has two fact tables and three dimension
tables.

Dimension Table: Period_days, Products, Stores, Region.

Fact Tables: Sales_Fact, Cost_and_Prices_fact.

To understand the concept clearly you can download the RPD file
and MS-Access Data Source for the same from my blog.

Physical Layer: Picture Data Source with Multiple Fact Tables.

Step #1 Import the Metadata Source File->Import->Data Source

Step #2 Select the DSN and give the user credential to connet to Data
Source

Step#3 Select only the below tables from the data source.[Delete the
remaining one for this example we don’t need any other tables.

Step#4 : Now drag the Dimension and facts tables in BMM layer as
given in the below diagram.

As we have two fact tables and we suppose to have a star schema. We


need to combine two fact tables into one. This we’ll do by adding a
addition sources in Sales Fact Table. Just drag and drop the
Cost_and_Prices_Fact over the source of Sales_fact.
As seen in the below diagram the Product dimension is a confirm
dimension(Bridge Dimesion)

Step#5 : The next step is to add logical sources(double click on logical


source) of sales_fact
