In Marketing Cloud Intelligence, when linking two data streams, the parent data stream (File A) provides the main structure. Since 'Override Media Buy Hierarchies' is checked for File A, the hierarchies from File B will be aligned with File A. Given 'Data Updates Permissions' set for file B as 'Update Attributes and Hierarchy', this means that attributes and hierarchy will be updated in the parent file based on the child file (File B), but the child file’s metrics won’t be associated with the parent file’s date.

Hence, when filtering on the entire date range (1-30/8), the resulting view will align with the structure of the parent data stream, showing the KPIs (‘Tasks Completed’ from File A and ‘Tasks Assigned’ from File B) alongside the employee names and squads from the respective files. Since the employee IDs align, the data can be linked properly. However, since the dates do not align (File A data is from 01/08/2019 and File B from 15/08/2019), only attributes from File B will be updated without date association.

The result will look like Option C, where the employee names are corrected based on File B's data, the squads are added from File B, and the tasks_completed and tasks_assigned are displayed from their respective files. The tasks_assigned from File B are shown without date association as File B's date doesn't match with File A's.

Since Data Stream C is considered the source of truth for both dimensions and measurements, it should be set as the parent data stream. This is because the parent data stream is used as the primary source for hierarchical and attribute data within a parent-child relationship setup. As the source of truth, Data Stream C will provide the foundational data upon which the other streams can be aligned and will ensure consistency and accuracy across the linked data.

Given that the 'Color' field is extracted from the 'Creative Name' field and appears to be part of the creative-level data, the most logical method would be to create an EXTRACT formula and map it to a Creative custom attribute. This allows the 'Color' value to be associated directly with each creative entry. In Salesforce Marketing Cloud Intelligence, the EXTRACT formula can be used to parse and segment text strings within a field, and this process is used for harmonizing data by creating new dimensions or attributes based on existing data, which is what's described here. This answer is consistent with Salesforce Marketing Cloud Intelligence features that enable data transformation and harmonization through formulaic mapping, as per the official Salesforce documentation on data harmonization and transformation.
