Using Scan MD Microstrategy

ScanMD  WHAT IS SCAN MD? ScanMD is a troubleshooting application whose aim is to provide a  quick resolution  to  known  metadata logical inconsistencies.  Logical inconsistencies are errors within an object's definition structure.

Fact tables levels tables in Microstrategy explained

Fact tables levels in Microstrategy: Fact tables are used to store fact data. Fact tables should contain attribute Id's and fact values which are measurable. All the descriptive information about the fact tables should stored in Dimension tables either in Star Schema fashion or Snow Flake Schema fashion which is best suited to your reporting solution. Since attributes provide context for fact values, both fact columns and attribute ID columns are included in fact tables. Facts help to link indirectly related attributes using these attribute ID columns. The attribute ID columns included in a fact table represent the level at which the facts in that table are stored. So the level of a fact table in the Fact_Item_Day_Customer can be the attribute Id's which is at Day, Item & Customer Id level. For example, fact tables containing sales and inventory data look like the tables shown in the following diagram: Base fact columns ver...
