What is necessary for loading data points that can have multiple values?

Loading data points with multiple values requires a method that supports the complexity of the data structure. Direct loading to dimension values enables the multiple values to be associated with specific dimensions in the planning model. This approach allows for accurate representation and organization of various data points directly within the system's framework, ensuring dynamic interaction and analysis capabilities.

On the other hand, while external data files can facilitate data loading, they may not always effectively handle the intricacies of values linked to different dimensions in a structured and interactive manner. Manual data entry might lead to errors and inconsistencies, and it is often not feasible for large data sets requiring multiple values. Automated data integration is beneficial for bringing in data from various sources, but it may not specifically address the direct association needed for supporting multiple values within dimension values without additional configurations. Thus, the direct loading option provides a more streamlined and effective solution for managing complex data requirements within the Workday Adaptive Planning environment.
