Hi..
I am developing SSAS project.
Can We have NULL Values in Fact Table?
Currently i am maintaining in fact table values as if sales happen it puts salesamount against that Store else NULL.
Is this correct way?
But while deploying i am getting error as
Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The record was skipped because the attribute key was not found. Attribute: Sale_KEY of Dimension: Store1 from Database: SalesCube, Cube: SalesCube, Measure Group: FactStoreSales, Partition: FactStoreSales, Record: 2.

nope. if no sales means it should be 0 rather than NULL.NULL value causes problems in cube.
