Hi Pinky....

To identify dimensions and fact tables we no need to have
real time exp. Just Assume few dimensions and think for
proper justifications according to ur Project.” But Stick
to Basic Concepts".

My Assumptions

Dimensions are Products, Location(Area),Time, Employees,
Retailers or Dealers, Inventory, Logistics.....etc

Fact (Measures)
Sales target, Returned Sales, Purchase Returns
Revenue, Quantity, gross profit, net income, losses,
margin, Fright, operational cost
unit cost, unit price...etc.

Good Luck

Hi Techies, I got an issue so need your advice here. I have created a report in Report Studio and it's having 2 columns which are having long text as a value (BLOB data type). Report is displaying entire text items in HTML format, but when I'm exporting it into EXCEL it's give me ##########. How to correct (wrap) it in Excel? so when end users they are directly running that report in Excel so instead of seeing ######### for long text items they should see the entire text items in those columns. Please advice!
