Error - Linked to non-observations column error
When it occurs
A units or attribute column is linked to an observation value column that isn't actually an observation value column.

---|---|---|---|
Sheffield | 2.1 | 15.3 | Excludes individuals teleporting to work. |
Aberdeen | 13.4 | 22.9 | Includes oil rig workers commuting to offshore platforms. |
With the following qube-config.json column mapping configuration:
In this cube, the Location
column represents a dimension and not observed values.
How to fix
Ensure that the linked column is a column containing observed values.
