Metric values are repeated across rows when a report is executed in MicroStrategy

Metric values are repeated across rows when a report is executed in MicroStrategy When comparing report results between DB Query Tool and MicroStrategy, some reports show repeated metric values in MicroStrategy where there were none in DB Query Tool. To illustrate the issue, a fact table CAT_ITEM_SLS has been added into the MicroStrategy Tutorial project and populated with a small set of three rows. CAT_ID ITEM_ID REVENUE 1 1 10 1 2 20 2 2 30 Report results in DB Query Tool: Report results in MicroStrategy: In MicroStrategy, the row for "Art As Experience" in the Spring 2007 catalog repeats the $20 value from the Winter 2007 catalog, where DB Query Tool shows the $30 value from the fact table.
