Quick question: I have an address dataset that is referenced by both our customer and document datasets, as each can have different address. A customer is referenced by the document dataset, and I'm getting a warning about multiple paths creating inconsistent results. Off the cuff, I'm thinking that we need to create separate datasets for customer address and document address. What is the best way to go about resolving this?

Hi Brandon, You're on the right track — in this case, it's best to create separate address datasets: one for
Customer Address
and one for
Document Address
. Sharing a single address dataset introduces multiple paths in the LDM, which leads to ambiguous queries and warnings which could slow down the analytics or lead into an inconsistent results. This is one of the setup which we don't advice to use. I would definitely recommend you to go through the below university courses to check best modeling practices: • Logical Data Model – GoodData University
