multipass query many fact tables

I am new to DW. I am required to design reports which come off of DW. I found a rpt requirement which is from 4 different fact tables, each of it at a diff grain level.

The results change dramatically. I am not joining fact tables directly, but am joining them through common dimension. I am concerned about the correctness of the recs returned. I have also tried to create a view with a facttable A and its dimension tables, and linked that to the originial facttable B which looks like the report theme(In this approach the # of recs will more or less be = to B's records.

I am not finding any examples apart from multipass query mentioned. I would like to see an example to understand. Could anyone point me in the rt direction?

Thanks

Are you working with Analysis Services or just the SQL Server relational database technology?

If you are working with the relational technology, you may need to aggregate your data to a common granularity before performing your joins. This is significantly easier to handle through SSAS.

I am working with SQL Server Relational db(2005).
