Project Plan Tables
I have an office yealy plan table, that is mostly static. Will I need to make this table a fact table and break this yearly plan number down by day using the time dimension to use it to calculate against all the facts in my fact table?
I have a fact table with all my daily submitted $ amounts per day, per office. I have a static "yearly office plan" table with my $$ per office per year. The thing is this "yearly office plan amount" could change based on business or sales and marketing decisions. I use this plan amount along with my fact table to base many mdx calculations against actuals vs plan, per day, per month etc.
FactPolicyTable hasolicyNumber(FK), DistributionChannelCode(FK), OfficeCode(FK), TimeKey(FK) and Face_amt, current_day_amt, lost_amt, prior_submitted_amt, pending_amt
DimOfficeTable has OfficeCode(key) and additional office information
PlanOffice table has keys of Plan_Office_Code(FK from OfficeCode), Plan_Office_Year, Plan Office Annual_Amt
The PlanOffice Annual Amt is what I need help with, how could I best implement this? all indications are I would have to break it down by day and move it into the FactPolicyTable or make it a fact table with a FK TimeKey in it. By the way this amount does not really relate to the PolicyNumber key in the fact table either.
I hope this gives you more to work with to help with my issue.
Or
Can I make this yearly plan amount a KPI? would the KPI still need to be broken down by day? can I use the KPI in to do calculations against other values in FactPolicy table?
What would be the best way to implement this Plan Value?
I hope I explained enough for this to make sense?
Well, the PlanOffice table could be a fact table for another measure group, which relates to the date dimension at a different granularity (ie. year) than does the FactPolicyTable (day). For example, in Adventure Works, the Sales Targets measure group relates to the Date dimension at the Calendar Quarter granularity, but [Measures].[Sales Amount Quota] gets allocated down to the month level in the cube MDX script.
