Hi Charan,

so you have proper codes in your fact table but no corresponding value in your dimension table causing you a missing value null. So there is no row to remap at present.

What you can do is

FactTable:

Load

supplier_code

your field

......

Supplier_Dimension_temp:

Load Distinct

supplier_code

Resident FactTable;

left Join (Supplier_Dimension_temp)

Load

supplier_code

local supplier

domestic supplier

global supplier

from ......(your dimension source)

~~ at this point you have real nulls in your dimension table rather then missing values, so you can remap accordingly.

either using Gabriels map using or an isnull check

Map_Supplier_Null:

MAPPING LOAD
NULL(),
'unmapped supp'
Autogenerate 1;

Map local supplier, domestic supplier, global supplier using Map_Supplier_Null

Supplier_Dimension:

noconcatenate

Load

supplier_code

local supplier

domestic supplier

global supplier

Resident Supplier_Dimension_temp;

Drop table Supplier_Dimension_temp;

something along those lines should do the trick for

hope that helps

Joe

Have you checked the appropriate input boxes on presentation tab of the chart properties dialog?

HI charan

use isnull function

If(isnull(Field)='Name',else codition)

I would do that in script:

If(IsNull(Supplier),'UnNamed Supplier',Supplier) as Supplier,

Hi,

I will create MAPPING table to handle NULL values as below

Map_Supplier_Null:

MAPPING LOAD
NULL(),
'unmapped supp'
Autogenerate 1;

And before your FACT table have another script like this

MAP [matched supplier] USING Map_Supplier_Null;

This will ensure all NULL values are renamed to unmapped supp.
