I've noticed that assignments with multiple due dates show 'null' in the Due_At column of the Assignment_Dim table. In my query builder I've joined Assignment_Dim.Assignment_ID=Course_Dim.Assignment_ID. Might linking these two dimension tables to Assignment_Fact (which I don't have available to me yet but soon will) using the Assignment_ID key give me the various due dates linked to a single assignment?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel.

You may already have your answer but I was curious so I went in and started digging around. To answer your question no, if you connect to the ASSIGNMENT_FACT you will not be able to display the multiple due dates; they don't exist in the ASSIGNMENT_DIM. The dates you are looking for are located in the ASSIGNMENT_OVERRIDE_DIM in the DUE_AT column.

Hi Aaron, I hadn't found the answer yet so thank you for your work. I really appreciate it. I'll link that table in and rerun my query.
Thanks again Aaron.
Best,
Daniel
