Integration Services :: Load Incremental Data Into Fact Table When Source Table Not Have Timestamp And Unique Key
Sep 24, 2015I have a transaction table having about 40 crore rows in source. It don't have timestamp and unique key columns. It have only Bill_month and Bill_Year columns. Actually for loading this table into staging I have added a new datetime column by adding default bill_date as 01. Then
* First we delete last 3 month data from staging tables.
* Get last 3 months data from source table.
* Load that 3 months data from source to staging table.
We do this because we only get update for last three months data. Now I have to include this transaction table as Fact table in DW. What will be the best practice for loading the fact table by picking data form staging table. Also we have to look up with dimensions for Foreign Keys.
* Should I implement the same method of deleting last 3 months records and loading them again.

Updating A Sql Table From A .csv, .txt Or .xls Source
Mar 3, 2006I have to update a table in my sql database with data exported (csv, txt or xls) from another source. The source data and my table have a matching unique field. The source data may contain records I already have and need to updated with any changed data in the source file or new records that need to be inserted into my sql table.
I am using SQLExpress, SSMSE, ASP.NET 2.0, and VWD Express. I am relatively new to this environment. Can anyone suggest a solution or where I can find a solution?
I could do this when I was building apps in Access.
Thanks

Updating Field In Table

Nullable Field As Fact-dim Link Causes Errors
Feb 26, 2008I have a dimension with a date field (int key value actually) that is generally null that I'm using to link to a time dimension. Everything works great when I set Null Processing to UnknownMember in the Measure Group Bindings, but if I try to set it to Preserve or anything else, I get processing errors because it can't match the null attribute key to the time dimension. I think I understand this, but I'm concerned that I'm not doing it the best way. Also, why does this page say "UnknownMember causes a data integrity error at processing time" when that's the only setting that does not give me errors?

Power Pivot :: Measure Results Limited By Fact Table Dates Instead Of Date Table
Sep 17, 2015I cannot create a measure that returns results for dates that do not exist in the fact table despite the fact that the components included in the measure contain valid results for these same dates.Creature a measure that counts the number of days where the "stock qty" is below the "avg monthly sales qty for the last 12 months" (rolling measure).Here is the DAX code I have tried for the measure (note that filter explicitly refers to the date table (called Calendar) and not the fact table):
StkOutCnt:=CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( VALUES ( Calendar[DateKey] ) ),
FILTER (
Calendar,
[Stock qty] < [Avg Monthly Sales Qty L12M@SKU]
)
)
Below you can see the sub measures (circled in red) are giving results for all days in the calendar.Highlighted in yellow are dates for which the StkOutCnt measure is not returning a result. Having investigated these blank dates, I am pretty confident that they are dates for which there are no transactions in the fact table (weekends, public holidays etc...).why I am getting an "inner join" with my fact table dates despite the fact that this is not requested anywhere in the dax code and that the two sub measures are behaving normally?
Analysis :: Hierarchy Based On Dimension Table Joined Multiple Times Against A Fact Table?
Aug 11, 2015I am working on a model where I have a sales fact table. Each fact record has four different customer fields (ship- to, sold-to, payer, and bill-to customer). I have one customer dimension table that joins to the sales fact table four times (once for each of the customer fields above). When viewing the data in Excel, I would like to have four hierarchies (ship -to, sold-to, payer, and bill-to customer) within Customer.
Is there a way to build hierarchies within my Customer dimension based on the same Customer table? What I want is to view the data in Excel and see the Customer dimension. Within Customer, I want four hierarchies.
Updating The XSD Used By XML Source
Apr 22, 2008I'm using the XML source component with an autogenerated XSD. There's a small error in the XSD definition, the ID column is defined as unsigned short instead of non-negative integer. I've changed this in the XSD file itself, and renamed it but the DTSX package keeps failing with an error that
the id value is to large.
Obviously it's still using the old XSD instead of then new one. How do I fix this?
(The XSD location in the XML component is referring to the correct XSD file)

Updating A Table By Both Inserting And Updating In The Data Flow
Sep 21, 2006I am very new to SQL Server 2005. I have created a package to load data from a flat delimited file to a database table. The initial load has worked. However, in the future, I will have flat files used to update the table. Some of the records will need to be inserted and some will need to update existing rows. I am trying to do this from SSIS. However, I am very lost as to how to do this.
Any suggestions?
PK In Fact Table

View 4 Replies View RelatedHelp With A Fact Table
May 28, 2008I would like to know how to use a fact table so that when I insert or update a row with a word that the table will reference the fact table to make sure that the word I'm using is correct.
for example I have a table with column Fulltext and Abbreviation
in the fulltext column I have a a word "Windows Server 2008" now in the abbreviation I would like to abbreviate this to "Win Srv 08" Now the Fact table would have to columns Fulltext and Abbreviation under Full text the full words would be in it like Windows, Server, and 2008 and under the Abbreviation column Win, srv, and 08
So I want it so that everytime the word Windows comes up and I need to type an Abbreviation for it that it will reference the fact table which is using the Abbreviation Win. To avoid different ways of abbreviating the word windows.
Is there a way to do this automatically so that I don't have to manually go back and forth between the fact table and the table that I'm updating?
One-to-many Relations Between Fact Table And Dimension Table
May 27, 2004Hi,
we have a problem with "one-to-many relations between fact table and dimension table". Take the example of table "LOGGEDFLAW" which is related one-to-many to the table "LOGGEDREASON. "LOGGEDFLAW" includes the column "FLAWKEY" and "LOGGEDREASON" includes the column "REASONKEY" and essentiallay the column "FLAWKEY" as foreign key. Now assume that we have the following records in there:
LOGGEDFLAW
1) FLAW1
2) FLAW2
LOGGEDREASON
1) REASON1,FLAW1
2) REASON2,FLAW1
3) REASON3,FLAW2
Now assume, that "LOGGEDFLAW" is the facttable and "FLAWCOUNT" is the measure with the source column "FLAWKEY" in which we want to count the number of FLAWs. As you see in the example the number of FLAWs is 1 for "FLAW1" and "FLAW2". Microsoft Analysis Server generates the value of 2 for the number of FLAWs "FLAW1" because of the one-to-many relationship to the table "LOGGEDREASON". In the attached ZIP File you find :
- a MDB File with the described example
- a screenshot from the cube constructed in AS
- a screenshot from the result table generated with AS.
The question: How is it possible to calculate the measure "FLAWCOUNT" correctly, ignoring the records generated by the one-to-many relationship?
Best regards,
Thorsten
Create Dimension Table From Fact Table!!
Mar 16, 2007I have picked an exmple from this forum, to help me explain my current problem...
"I'm looking for a solution to import data from a flat file into an normalized data modell. To explain it a little simpler think about to following:
The Data Souce is a CSV-File with FirstName, LastName and Category. Sample data could be
Dirk; Bauer; sailing
Peter; Bauer; fishing
Marc; Bauer; reading
In my data modell I have defined the 2 tables "Person" and "Category":
Table "Person"
----------------
[PersonID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL
[CategoryID] [int] NOT NULL
[FirstName] [nvarchar](50)
[LastName] [nvarchar](50)
Table "Category"
----------------
[CategoryID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL
[CategoryName] [nvarchar](50)
Now I like to read my first row from the source and lookup a value for the CategoryID "sailing". As my data tables are empty right now, the lookup is not able to read a value for "sailing". Now I like to insert a new row in the table "Category" for the value "sailing" and receive the new "CategoryID" to insert my values in the table "Person" INCLUDING the new "CategoryID".
I think this is a normal way of reading data from a source and performing some lookups. In my "real world" scenario I have to lookup about 20 foreign keys before I'm able to insert the row read from the flat file source.
I really can't belief that this is a "special" case and I also can't belief that there is no easy and simple way to solve this with SSIS. Ok, the solution from Thomas is working but it is a very complex solution for this small problem. So, any help would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Dirk"

Dimension Table Population-out Of Fact Table
Apr 2, 2007I have a large flat file that comes to me. I first import the flat data in to a SQL table for ease of use. Then i put it into a more permanent table with the proper references to dimension tables. I want to build a dimension table out of information from my flat file. I have a dimension table with columns, [Org Client], and [Client#] where [org client] is the name of the client. Both of these columns appear in my flat file but i want to use only the client# in my permanent table. How extract distinct values of client # and [org client] into a dimension table?
My idea was to select distinct values of client# and use some type of foreach loop to go through each client# and use a query to select the TOP(1) values of [org client] where client# = x. Would this work and if so how do I go about setting this up?
I'm really hoping there is a simpler way than this. Thank you all for your time.
Updating Multimple Rows In A Data Source

Intermediate Fact Table
May 19, 2008Hi,
I am writing a BI solution for a recruitment company. In their
business, the can be n number of participants from different
dimensions linked to the same fact record. For example, a client can
be sent the CV of 50 candidates. That's my first problem. My second
problem is the variety of dimension participant types for a given fact
record. This results in the need for nullable dimension FK's - which
I'm trying to avoid. For example, consider the following two business
events. In the first one, a candidate fills a job. Easy, we have a
record in the fact table where the fact table has the following
columns: DateKey, EventType, CandidateKey, VacancyKey. No nullable
columns, great. But there are other events that I want to store in
the fact table too. Let's go back to my first example: The client is
sent CV's of 50 candidates in one transaction. So there is one client
linked to the fact, but 50 candidates. So now I need to extend the
fact table and add another column: CandidateGroupKey (which links to
and Intermediate Fact Table). But in this case there was no vacancy
involved. So do I now have to make the VacancyKey column nullable?
That doesn't seem like a good idea...
Or do I have to go for a completely different approach and have
different fact tables instead of just one?
Anyone have any suggestions?
Populate The Fact Table
Jun 6, 2007Hi!
can any body tell me how to populate the fact table from base tables.
How To Populate The Fact Table
Jun 6, 2007databse name: bookorder
Realtions:
customer (customerid,l_name,f_name,city, district,country)
cust_order(orderid,orderdate,customerid)
order_detail(orderid,itemno,isbn,quantity)
book(isbn,title,edition_no,price)
author(authorid,name,surname)
book_author(authorid,isbn,authorseqno)
Now populate the datawarehouse name: book_orderdw
having fact table & three dimension tables given below from the above bookorder database
fact table
factsales(customerid,timeid,isbn,unit_price,discount_price,sales_quantity,sales_amount)
dimension tables
dimcustomer(customerid,l_name,f_name,city,district,country)
dimtime(timeid,orderdate,dayofweek, month, year)
dimbook(isbn,title,edition_no,price)
Now I have to populate the fact & dimension tables by writing sql scripts.
Now I have already populated the dimension tables by writing sql script,
But I have to populate the fact table taking into account, here I am facing problem in wriring sql script
(i) unit_price is taken from the book base table with reference to the isbn
(ii) sales_quantity is taken from the order_detail.quantity with reference to table cust_order(via orderid & orderdate)
(iii) discount_price is determined dependent on the quantity. if the quantity > 20 then discount 20 %(i.e discount_price = 0.8 * unit_price). if quantity < 10, no discount i.e normal price. if quantity between 10 and 20, discount 10%. Note that the quantity is determined based on each order of each customer, thus if the same book appears at multiple positions in an order, those positions shall be grouped together. This could happen because the pk of the order_detail table is order_id + item no, not order_id + isbn
(iv) sales_amount is sales_quantity * discount_price

Apr 13, 2006Hi, everyone,
l've a fact table DEVICE with following structure,
DEVICE_NAME VARCHAR(50)
DEVICE_DATE DATETIME
DEVICE_NUMBER INT
Where DEVICE_NAME and DEVICE_DATE form a PRIMARY KEY
So l would like to import a text file with same information into this table.
My problem is, text file contains records which will violate my primary key constraint. In that case, l would only insert the record with DEVICE_NUMER not equal to ZERO and discard and log the others.
In case of the records violtae primary key constraints have DEVICE_NUMBER not equal to ZERO, discard both and log it.
So anyone has good suggestion on this?

Update In Fact Table (not Dimension With SCD)
May 7, 2008Dear all,
Now I create datawarehouse for my client, I have SSIS a lot for ETL process, I a problem that some fact table need to be updatetable and there is a lot of data of this, I need some efficent way to load this data to data warehouse.
I have read your article about SCD in SSIS (Slowly Changing Dimensions in SQL Server 2005).
I think the purpose of SCD for Dimension table. If I have some fact table that need rows to be updatetable can you give me an example, best practice, the efficient way or fastet way to load fact table that can be updatetable?
If you have link or link about this problem please reply my email. Thanks
