I know in Version 10 you can filter across related data sources after defining the relationship of dimensions. Is it possible to do the same when the dimension has members that are not identical?
For example:
Source A Source B
Virginia VA
Maryland MD
New York NY
Thank you,
Hope
Very interesting question, and it is indeed possible, But as a first step you would a calculated field that decodes the values or serves as a bridge between the both?
Case SourceA
WHEN 'Virginia' then 'VA'
WHEN 'Maryland' then 'MD'
WHEN 'Newyork' then 'NY'
END
Or decode into a common integer if you prefer.
End of the day, the columns/fields need to match at ASCII level, to be able to pull in those records.
