title: Should the "count" measure be stored in the fact table?
body: <p>I have a fact table that includes "wait times in hours" for certain services. I have a lot of dimensions that could describe the wait-times based on different slices; however, I am also interested in knowing how many people (counts) came for services through the filters of the same dimensions.</p>
  
  <p>Given the dimensions for both the wait-times in hours and the number of people who got services are exactly the same, I think it's best practice to keep it in the same fact table. My question is:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Should there be a different fact table for the count measure mentioned?</li>
  <li>How would I include this measure? Do I just put 1 in every single row? Because regardless of the wait-time, they've gotten the service only once (you cannot go above/below 1 in my scenario).</li>
  </ol>
