Creating multiple detail tables
Multiple detail tables are useful when more than one type of transactional data is present in the
source data, for example purchases (items with a set price, quantity, item number) and services
(with a price, frequency, contract end date, etc).
To create more than one detail table, simply extract transactional data in different Repeat steps
(see "Extracting transactional data" on page260).
The best way to do this is to add an empty detail table (right-click the Data Model, select Add a
table and give the detail table a name) and drop the data on the name of that detail table.
Else the extracted fields will all be added to one new detail table with a default name at first,
and you will have to rename the detail table created in each Extract step to pull the detail tables
apart (see "Renaming a detail table" on the previous page).
