Answer / neelima

example:consider a product example car and the ways
received orders.
product name order method
maruthi telephone booking
alto telephone booking
Mercedez telephone booking
maruthi fax booking
maruthi agent

so when you do sliciing and dicing if you want to display

product sold by internet booking.ie viewing the data in
different prespectives. we basically use this concept while
dealing with cubes.
