How to combine data correctly from separate data source in Insight?


Shaff Raphael (5937) | asked Aug 06 '14, 11:32 p.m.
I'm facing problem in generating my report in Report Studio when I drag data from different data source in Insight. To create my report I took some of data in Reporting Data Model and some from Operational Data Store. Eventually the result of the report were mixed up. I did the filtering things but it still cannot synchronize between data from that different data source. How to fix this?

Hello Shaff,

if you build reports using 2 unrelated sets of data, they should have at least one identifier in common.
You can use that identifier in a join to correctly match the data.

See the following link on how to create a join:
