what is slice & dice?

Answer Posted / chaitanya

The ability to move between different combinations of
dimensions when viewing data with an OLAP browser.

Multidimensional analysis tools organize the data in two
primary ways: in multiple dimensions and in hierarchies.

Slicing and dicing refers to the ability to combine and re-
combine the dimensions to see different slices of the
information. Picture slicing a three-dimensional cube of
information, in order to see what values are contained in
the middle layer. Slicing and dicing a cube allows an end-
user to do the same thing with multiple dimensions.
