                                            | I understand that it is bad practice to attempt to join Fact tables, and I've tried reading through a lot of the Kimball material, but am yet to identify something that will point me in the right direction.Fact Table 1:-------------ID int PKDateKey intCaseID int<various attributes that change over time>Fact Table 2:-------------ID int PKDateKey intCaseID intSLO_ID intResult bit<various attributes that change over time>The issues is that Fact table 1 to Fact table 2 has a 1-to-many relationship.One option might be to combine both Fact tables into 1 table, but this might require using a distinct count for the measures, and there could be other drawbacks in going down this path.Some suggestions on the way forward would be appreciated. |  |
