Example: Explicit Tuples

This example uses the same fields as the implicit tuples example.

If you create an explicit dimension set that includes the BUSINESS_UNIT and DEPARTMENT dimensions, the analytic calculation engine uses these explicit tuples to calculate the SALES data cube:

(US001, DEPT1000),
(US001, DEPT2000),
(US002, DEPT3000),
(US002, DEPT4000)

Note:

The analytic calculation engine also uses the input cubes that comprise the relevant data cube's formula to instantiate the explicit tuples that it uses to calculate the data cube.
