Answer / sajj

Let us understand the determinants in simplest terms.

Company CEO Empl
-----------------------------------------------------
Ennov Vijay Vishwas
Ennov Vijay Mritunjay
Ennov Vijay Farrukh


Company Revenue
---------------------------------------
Ennov 500000
Carrot 400000

When above 2 tables are joined on Company field and you
bring following items in the query Company,CEO, Revenue. The
the following will be the output

Company CEO Revenue
-------------------------------------------------
Ennov Vijay 500000
Ennov Vijay 500000
Ennov Vijay 500000

You got three rows because Ennova had three employees, here
cognos was not able to understand that granulirity of both
these tables was different. You have to defined it
explicitely and end product of this is called DETERMINANTS.

Here in the first table you have to define 2 determinants
CEO and Company and and check the check box of group by. Now
when you run the query in cognos you will find that
repeation is not there.

fact table then u have to check the granularity if fact
tables having different granularities i mean supose in one
table u r maintaining high cardinality in one table u r
maintaining low cardinality finally we may get over counting
