Define Your Dimensions
Dimensions are fundamental components of metrics views that enable data segmentation, filtering, and analysis. They represent categorical or descriptive attributes of your data that allow you to break down measures into meaningful segments.
Dimensions are the "who," "what,", and "where" of your data. They provide context and categorization for your measures, enabling you to:
- Segment data: Break down metrics by categories like region, product type, or customer segment
- Filter analysis: Focus on specific subsets of your data
- Enable drill-downs: Navigate from high-level summaries to detailed breakdowns
- Create comparisons: Analyze performance across different groups
