Looks like a chasm trap to me.

Why are you joining two fact tables?
Are they, for example, orders and order lines, in which case you’d run into fan trap issues too?

From our FAQ Designer: What is a chasm trap, how to resolve it.

It is also possible that you should have two totally separate universes. Just because some common columns exist in two fact tables does not mean that the tables are designed to be used together.

It is wise to look at FAQs and to do a search before posting a question.
