Grain The length of time (or other meaning) associated with

The granularity is the lowest level of information stored
in the fact table. The depth of data level is known as
granularity. In date dimension the level could be year,
month, quarter, period, week, day of granularity.

The process consists of the following two steps:

- Determining the location to place the hierarchy of each
dimension of information
