Answer / jaspreet banga

Practical senario would be in a bank where you want to list
the customer information(customer dimension), Branch
information (Branch Dimension),Joining date (Date
Dimension) and the scheme (loan or deposit or current
account) they have taken in the Bank. So the Fact less fact
table would be Branch Key,Customer Key, Date Key, Account
Key (or Product or scheme Key).These all are foriegn key,
The balance you have is the fact which may or may not be
there, i.e., if you have null balance then it is fact less
fact tables

Answer / sridhar

factless fact table is a fact table but table does n't have
any facts for measurement for e.g student attendance in a
class, if we have 100 members in a class we can perform the
calculations like marks,grades but you cannot measure for
student attendance.
