Hi,
I have a data warehouse and an SSAS cube on top of that. The schema is as per below.
Time dimension columns:- Week_id,Week,Month,Year
Item dimension columns :- Item _id, Item, Item name
Product dimension columns :Product_Id, Product code, Product name
Fact columns : Week_id,Item_id,Product_id,Sum of Sales
Every week i get the order level data(Ord_number,date,product_code,item,sales_qty) for one week and aggregate that data into week at item.product level and load that into fact. It is incremental load and the fact contains data of last 3 years.
Now, i have received a new requirment from client that, We need include some extra data for last 3 years.The metadata data looks like below.
Item name,Product name, Month,Discount amount.
He provide the data in the above structure in txt file. What is best method to include this data into my warehouse and cube?
Do i need to create one extra dimension for this or need to add into fact(discount amount). I think adding in fact is complicated as i need the order level data for last 3 years. Please help..
