Answer / sandeep.pamarati

A confirmed Dimension, by definition, means a single
dimension table is actually connected to more than one fact
table in your dimensional model.
So, if a dimension table is shared across two fact tables,
for example, then that dimension is called as Conformed
Dimension.

PS: It is NOT Confirmed Dimension but it is Conformed Dimension.

In this example let’s consider that the product dimension is common and hence can be reused by creating short cuts and joining the different fact tables.Some of the examples are time dimension customer dimensions product dimension.
