XQE-PLN-0289 - Using Text in a Measure Dimension in DQM

Troubleshooting


Problem

When in DQM, executing any report which has text in a measure dimension throws the following error: “XQE-PLN-0289”.

Symptom

XQE-PLN-0289

In Dynamic Query Mode

Cause

It is design intent not to allow text in measure dimensions in DQM.

Resolving The Problem

A workaround for this is:

1) Create a new regular dimension with the text items from the measure dimension

The following is very important

Instead of adding each text item on the same level, create a new level for each text item

Adding each item on the same level will lead to small inconsistencies in the report data.

2) Create a new star schema, including the dimension just made

3) Publish the package

Use this package to create reports that use text in measure dimensions, in DQM.
