Set relation between Measure group and Aggregate dimension

Posted on by JeanB 72
Hello, thanks to take a look to my problem.
I'm not sure I'm posting in the right place, if it's the case, let me know.
 
I have a problem when I want to insert a dimension in a measure group in a data entity.
In fact, when I want to create a relationship, I can't create two relationships, even though there are dimensions (in MS data entities) that have two relationships.
As you can see in the first image, the Customer dimension (standard in MS) is linked by DataAreaId and by CustAccount.
But when I want to insert my own MSCU_Customer dimension, which is almost a copy of the MS one with some extra data, I can only create one relationship and not two.

    Hello Kevin,
     
    Thank you a lot for your answer. Do you know where can I check the Data Entity Design ? (I'm a bit of a novice)
     
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The ability to create relationships between a measure group and an aggregate dimension in a data entity is determined by the entity's design and the underlying data model.
    Check Data Entity Design:
    Ensure that your data entity is designed to support multiple relationships with dimensions. In some cases, the design of the data entity might not allow multiple relationships with the same dimension.
    Verify Dimension Properties:
    For each dimension you want to link to the measure group, check the properties of the dimension fields in the data entity. Ensure that these fields are designed to support relationships with the measure group.
    Consider Extending Base Entities:
    If you are working with standard MS data entities and want to create additional relationships, consider extending the base entities. This involves creating a new custom data entity that extends the standard one and includes the additional relationships.
    Best regards,
    Kevin
