best way to arrange my data - star schema

[Anonymous]

Hi guys ,

Would appreciate some help, I’m new to qlik sense and I’m not sure what would be the best way to arrange my data into a star schema.

Here are my tables:

  1) pages -  holds data on all page visits (every page a visitor clicked on during his visit to the website)

  2) sessions  -  holds data on sessions (e.g each time visitor has visited the website)

  3) countries - list of the counties

  4) session_users  - list of the users and  attributes

  5) daily aggregated table based on the tables above

thanks

session_country_id

What's the difference between a visitor and a user?

What's the difference between session_country and visit_country?

visitor - Anyone who has visited the website

user - After the visitor is registered , he is assigned the user_id

no difference  between session_country and visit_country

Ok, then I reckon you can drop the user_id, visitor_id and session_country_id fields from the Pages table. And replace visit_country_id in the Sessions table with the country name using a mapping table and the applymap function. The tables Pages and Sessions will be linked by the session_id field and the Sessions and Session_user table by the session_user_id field. The daily aggregated table will be a data island and not connected to any other table.
