Duplicate Values on Top Level of Dimension

Hey there community,

I have a problem, and i am lost as to how i can fix it.. I would be over joyed if someone can give me a hand in identiffy it.. I will try to explain below::

I have a cube for sales, that displays sales by a Market heiracy of Market->Division->Family->Item. When i drill down, sales numbers look fine..

I added in a budget file, which only specifys budgets down the the Division Level.. I have added the Budget Figure as a Measure Group. In the dimension usage tab, i specify the Division as the Granuality for the Budget Measure Group on the Market Dimension..

Measure Groups
DimensionsStandard MeasureBudget MeasuresFreight Amount
DateDatePeriodDate
Sales PersonSales PersonSales Person
Order TypeOrder Type
CustomerCustomerCountryCustomer ID
MarketItemDivision

When i build and deploy my cube, and i drag in the Market Heiracy, i add the sales fugures and the budget amounts. The top level, should split down on the Budget Figure, but i get the same value repeated all the way through like below:

MarketSales AmountBudget Amount
aaaaa527434.083819283
bbbbb1605726.509999993819283

ddddd1488549.153819283
eeeee9107.593819283
Grand Total3631457.393819283

when i Drill Down on the Market to the Division Level, the splits are correct, but the totals are all the same all the way down.. The should be the total of that market...

eeeeeOther9107.595808
Total9107.593819283
Grand Total3631457.393819283

I would like the totals to be the total budget for each market.. I am stuck, i have tried some different things, but this is as far as can get..

If i choose the Market to be the Granuality for the Budget Measure Group, then i get the reverse of this.. The market splits are correct, but when i drill down to the Division Level, the values repeat..

Please can someone give me some ideas of what to try!

I can provide more data if need be.

Many thanks in advance!

Thanks Scott Lancaster

I reckon you don't have relationship defined between Market and Division. If you will make Market a member property of Division - everything should become fine (and keep Division as granularity for Budget measure group).|||

Thanks Mosha..

Could you please explain how i do this? Im pretty new to SSAS and have taught myself most of the way

Again.. very very much appriciated..

Thanks

|||In the dimension editor, drag Market attribute and drop it into Division attribute. This will create the needed relationship. If still in doubt, read documentation on the subject of "related attributes" or "member properties".|||

Thanks Mosha!!!!

your are a champion.. I have done this and it has all worked perfectly...

Again.. thanks mate..


Scotty
