facts and dimensions are considered according to the
project requirement ,we cant say particular number ,its
depend upon the project environment ,if you want to know
more about fact and dimensions ,Cognos provides default GO

answer.
here are some facts and dimensions:
Dimensions are time, products, retailer type, activity
desc, sale staff, and retailer type, return reson, order
