Fake versions are just a list used a dimension in the same way that real versions would be.

Hi Jason,
Thank you. A great article, It does explain how to choose one over the other, however it doesn't explain how to set up a Fake Versions and the logic of how they work. Perhaps others understand that, but I am only Lvl1 model builder. I have been struggling with how they work.Q asked another way. Now I have decided to use "Fake Versions" How do I set this up in the model and what is the logic of how they work. Many thanks,
