Query regarding a merge report

Is it advisable to use “avoid duplicate row aggregation” to get rid of multivalue error? In the report we are merging data from 2 queries and in the report aggregation is not happening as expected. Selecting “avoid duplicate row aggregation” is giving the line level details.

From you other posts it seems like all your measures should be reviewed.

Are you sure your duplicates are not the result of a chasm / fan trap?

Hi Mark,

Our data model is something like this. If there is one quote no there will be multiple quote line ids associated with that. 1:n. And there are around 35 columns in the report as its a raw data report. So if I select the avoid duplicate row aggregation for 1 quote no if there are 10 quote line ids its showing 10 lines which is actually correct. Otherwise instead of showing 10 lines it was showing 6 lines and in the quote line id column its showing multivalue error. And I can’t show quote line ids like this 123,234,345 in one cell while fixing multivalue. As it will create problems while creating pivot tables. Please suggest.
