Drill-Down: On Time (From Quarters To Months)

This document describes a multidimensional data model and provides examples of common operations on such a model: 1) The data model includes dimensions such as location (with hierarchies like country/city), time (with hierarchies like year/quarter/month), and item type. Measures such as sales amounts are associated with specific combinations of dimension members. 2) Common operations on this type of model include roll-ups to aggregate along a dimension hierarchy, drill-downs to view more granular levels, slicing to filter for a particular dimension member, and pivoting to change the orientation of dimensions and measures. 3) Examples provided include rolling up locations from cities to countries, drilling down time from quarters to months,
