Traditionally known from OLAP cubes with Bus Matrixes.
Dimensions are the categorical buckets that can be used to segment, filter, group, slice, and dice—such as sales amount, region, city, product, color, and distribution channel. Dimensions (and facts) are also known from the concept of Dimensional Modeling.
- Dimensions are categorical attributes used to segment, filter, or group data. Examples include region, city, product, and distribution channel.
- They provide context to the facts and are essential for slicing and dicing data in OLAP cubes.
