Designing Cubes
TM1 stores your business analysis in cubes. Each cell in a cube contains a measure that
you are tracking in an analysis. A cube can store data against one or more measures.
You form a cube with dimensions, which identify how to organize the data or the measures you want to track. One element in each dimension identifies the location of a cell in a cube.
The following example cube contains three dimensions: Product, Measures, and Month. Each measure, such as Sales, is organized or dimensioned by a product and a month. For example, the cell value 300000 represents the sales of Sedan-1 in the month of January (Jan).
TM1 treats all dimensions the same way, whether they contain elements that identify measures or describe how you organize the measures.
