Example - Your Prototype Sales Model, on Paper

You can create an initial dimension map on paper, to make sure you have identified all of the dimensions, levels, and categories needed in your PowerCube. The measures to be associated with this dimensional hierarchy are Sales, Order Qty, Cost, and Discount.

You map the dimensions of your prototype as follows:

Order date Products Locations
Year Product Group Region
