Hi,

We are having Fact and Dimension Tables.

For Ex: Fact table has 10 fileds and Dimension table has 20 fields.

After loading these tables we got synthetic keys of 10 keys.

Please let me know the right way to resolve this.

Thanks,,

Hi,

Could you supply more information.

The most likely cause is you have multiple fields with the same name in your fact table and Dimension table.

There should only be one field which is the key between the fact and dimension, any other fields with the same name should renamed or removed in the script.

i.e.

Field AS Dim.Field,

Mark
