Can any one give the example for slicing and dicing of data ?(with simple query)..

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
all the products sold through internet it will display all
product sold by internet booking.ie viewing the data in
different prespectives. we basically use this concept while
dealing with cubes.
