It sounds like your ID is not unique in the table.
If that is the case then you either need to create a lookup table for username giving it a unique ID. Then put that new ID on the other table. A second solution is to create the ID as its own attrib and create the username as its own atrrib with a child of ID.
The first solution is cleaner though.
Hope this helps

you will probably need to create 2 attributes but this is dependant on your schema.
The first attribute will be the ID attribute. It will only have an ID form. No Description is necessary. I am assuming that this is a key for the table. You may not need this.
The second is the UserName attribute. You only need to set the username as and ID. You do not need a description for the attribute. It will give you a warning message but its ok. You should add the ID attribute as a child of username(the first one you created).
and that should do it.

the problem here is userid is not the primary key in the table.the id and names are included in the fact table itself.i think the only way to overcome is to create a view with Id and names.any how for time being i have added the names manually into the prompt.
in case if you come across any other solution please let me know.
Thank you

You shouldn't need to do anything special for this... The behavior you want is MSTR default.
When attribute elements are retrieved, MSTR should use SELECT DISTINCT. This is in a VLDB setting, so check this. By default, this should be on.
You don't need to create any additional schema objects or logical database objects.
