Are facts same as metrics and dimensions same as measures? If not , please tell the difference?..

Answer / rajiv

See, facts are usually metrics i.e facts can used to show
in metrics reports as they are means to measure the
data.For example:Sales revenue, profit,margin,total count
etc..

And dimensions are not measures.They are for example
objects like customer name, employee name, age, phone
number,salesid etc..
Dimensions are the means of analysis and analysis is done
on them.So they are entirely different from measures
