What are Semi-additive and factless facts and in which scenario will you use such kinds of fact tables?
Snapshot facts are semi-additive, while we maintain aggregated facts we go for semi-additive.
EX: Average daily balance
A fact table without numeric fact columns is called factless fact table.
Ex: Promotion Facts
While maintain the promotion values of the transaction (ex: product samples) because this table doesn’t contain any measures.
