This object retrieves the data

that provides the basis for anal-

ysis in a report. Dimension ob-

jects typically retrieve character-

type data (for example, cus-

tomer names, resort names, or

dates).

Dimension

This object provides descriptive

data about a dimension. A detail

is always attached to the dimen-

sion for which it provides addi-

tional information. For example,

Age is a detail object that is as-

sociated with the Customer di-

mension. Address provides ad-

ditional information on cus-

tomers.

This object retrieves numeric

data that is the result of calcula-

tions on data in the database.

For example, Revenue is the

calculation of the number of

items sold multiplied by item

price. Measure objects are often

located in a Measures class.
