Default How to set the outer join between fact table and Dimension Table - 01-19-2004 , 06:28 AM






Hi All

In Analysis Server the Relation between the Fact table and Dimension Table is taking the link as inner join by default. Is there any way to change the joins option .

Thanks
Vasu

It's not possible to change the join criteria from an inner join to an outer join. If you want to do this, what you'll need to do is create views using outer joins and then use those views as the source for the cubes/dimensions.
