What is Regular Dimension and Measure Dimensions and Diff b/w them ?..

Answer / bhaskar.nagi

A regular dimension contains descriptive and business key
information and organizes the information in a hierarchy,
from the highest level of granularity to the lowest. It
usually has multiple levels and each level requires a key
and a caption. If you do not have a single key for your
level, it is recommended that you create one in a
calculation. A measure dimension is a collection of facts.
You can create a measure dimension for one or more query
subjects that have a valid relationship between them.
