A dimension is an entity used to categorize data in a chart. For example, the slices in a pie chart or the bars of a bar chart represent individual values in a dimension. Dimensions are often a single field with discrete values, but can also be calculated in an expression.
A dimension is a dataset in a data mart that forms part of the star schema. Dimension datasets hold the descriptive information for all related fields that are included in the fact table’s records. A few common examples of dimension datasets are Customer and Product. Since the data in a dimension dataset is often denormalized, dimension datasets have a large number of columns.
A measure is a calculation base on one ore more aggregations. For example, the sum of sales is a single aggregation, while the sum of sales divided by the count of customers is a measure based on two aggregations.
The term dataset is sometimes synonymous with table. It can refer to the original source table, the table after undergoing transformations, or the fact and dimension tables in a data mart.
It can also refer to a logical table, where there are several instance tables and views:
Current data
History, which holds previous versions of the table
