Implicit Fact column in OBIEE

An  Implicit fact column is used when we have multiple fact tables and the report is generated only from dimension tables. 
A user may create a report where it have only dimensions and not a single fact measure. when these are created BI server has multiple join paths available between dimensions and facts so it joins to nearest fact table and pulls the data hence results obtained might be different from what user is expecting.To overcome this we can create a Implicit fact column.This Implicit fact column shows the join path for the BI server.
