Hi ,
If we give set usage property wrong what will happen?
where can we find error exactly?

Thanks,

The usage property allows you to define how an item should be treated when retrieved in a query and when used in reporting objects. Anything with a usage of Fact, for example, will be treated as a measure and will be aggregated by default. If you have an item such as Order Number, which is numeric, and you set it's usage property to Fact, reports will aggregate the order numbers by default, which would of course be meaningless.

Regards,
