Hello,

I'm having several tables that are coming from a flat datamart. Several key fields are doubled because the facts tables can reach any dimension table in 1 join. Of course some dimension tables can reach other dimension tables too.

Here QV makes the joins to complicated by creating these $Syn fields.

Is there a way i can help QV with this. Because i'm getting an error while loading the data, and at this moment the data is a source for over 50 SSAS cubes, so i know that there is no problem with it.

Hi,

what you can do is rename a field by using AS like:

Customer as CustomerName

to avoid a link between tables.

Maybe you need a combined key like:

ZIPCODE &'_' & COUNTRY as %%COUNTRYKEY

See also the QV HELP file and search for QUALIFY (Unqualify).

Ok, We are evaluating QV, I'll describe my data, if you have time maybe you could get me help started ..

Table 1 Movies, Mov_UI, Mov_Name, Comp_UI, Cou_UI

Table 2 Complex, Comp_UI, Comp_name, Cou_UI

Table 3 Country, Cou_UI, Cou_Name

The Cou_UI From the Complex makes a link to the Country as from where the Complex is Located, the COU_UI in the movies is the origin from the movie.

In regular Cube Building i can give these relations a name ....
