SSAS : Cubes Null Processing

Cubes Null Processing

Error

Errors in the OLAP storage engine:

The attribute key cannot be found when processing: Table: ‘dbo_eCubes_FactPurchasingDelivering’,

# Column: ‘SUPP_ID’, Value: ‘0’. The attribute is ‘Supplier Name’..

—————-

Cause

The view eCubes_FactPurchasingDelivering has null values for supp_id which does not have corresponding values in eCubes_DimSupplier view.

One of the records in goods_receive_master has null value for supp_id and therefore it caused the process to fail.

However these types of issues can be fixed by Null Processing property in dimension and in the cube.
