Chapter 4 Building Multidimensional Diagrams


Defining measures in a multidimensional diagram

A measure is a variable that corresponds to the focus of an investigation. Measures describe the meaning of the analytical values stored in each data cell of the cube.

Measures are most of the time numeric values like for example Price or Total.

Measures can also be the result of an operation or calculation as indicated in the formula box of the measure property sheet.
