How do you find what type of trap is there by seeing the
report?
Answer Posted / tarukhemu
Consider you have one dimension linked to two fact tables. One fact contains branch wise revenue and another fact contains branch wise sales. For example:
Fact 1: Branch Revenue
101 1000
201 2000
201 1500
Fact 2: Branch Sales
101 5
201 10
Now if you want to display Branch,Revenue as well as sales,then the data in report will appear as follows:
Branch Revenue Sales
101 1000 5
201 2000 10
201 1500 10
As per Fact 2,Branch 201 has Sales=10,but in report it displays Sales as 10+10=20,which is wrong.
Hence by looking at the report data,you can identify a trap.
Note: This is a case of Chasm Trap
