Measures Dimensions

The Measures dimension contains the members required to build, validate and calculate a model.

In addition to members required for the Measures dimension which should not be modified, users may add user-defined driver measures (or sub-hierarchies) to the hierarchy under the member 'UserDefinedDriverMeasures'. These dimension members can be modified by the user.

Note:

You can give the Measures type dimension a different name, if required.

Within the Measures dimension, the types of measures can be grouped into these categories:

  • Driver Measures are used in the creation of driver types and formulas. See Driver Measures

  • Cost Layer Allocation Measures are used to control allocation of calculated and input costs. See Cost Layer Allocation Measures.

  • Revenue Layer Allocation Measures are used to control the allocation of calculated and input revenue. See Revenue Layer Allocation Measures.

  • Reporting Measures are used to generate reports, using the calculated and input values to generate total costs and revenue for the model. All non-level-0 Reporting Measures are calculated. See Reporting Measures.
