What is Dimension ?
Typical cube dimensions are Time, Customers, Products, Locations, Employees, Projects etc. Use dimensions that are best suited to your business domain.
Each dimension can have either just detailed level of all dimension members or you can define hierarchy with several levels. For example, Customers dimension could have Country, State and Customer Name levels:
All measures are automatically aggregated (typically as sum of detailed level values) in upper hierarchy levels. E.g. looking at Sales amount measure at Country level will give total sales amount for this country.
