A measure holds the numeric data of your cube. When you analyze data in the Worksheet, you are analyzing the measures across the different dimensions in the cube. Typical measures are actual sales, actual cost, and budgeted data in a cube of sales data, or the population figures in a cube of census data.
Typical dimensions are product names, region, age groups, or time.
For example, you could analyze the actual sales compared with the budgeted sales over time, or the population of different age groups in a state. Contact Copyright 2001 Crystal Decisions. All Rights Reserved.
