Can I extend my view with another view, and have derived table at the same time?
Solved! Go to Solution.
That’s right. Derived table is a source table for your view and so is sql_table_name, hence it has to be one or the other.
If what you want to add can’t be built off the existing measures and dimensions (otherwise you could use a refinement) then it should be in your Data Model (aka. change the view itself)
Have you tried it? What is the concept behind what you’re trying to do?
Yeah I have tried it and it did not work.
So I have a view that was properly defined with a lot of measures and dimension.
However, I wanted to add a few more details to the view. But I do not wish to
make changes on the view itself.
So my idea was to create a new view, extend the previous view, and add a derived table
for additional details. However, apparently they were not designed to work at the same time.
