What is multidimensional functionality?
V4 is based on the concept of multiple dimensions. A dimension is any type of concept or view that you may wish to represent. For example, some typical enterprise dimensions are time, measures, products, geographical regions, sales channels, etc. Multidimensional views, unlike traditional two-dimensional views are much less restrictive for data access, and provide the essential foundation for analytical processing and strategic decision analysis. V4 operates a virtually unlimited number of dimensions. Its multidimensional functionality offers users, the ability to analyze data across any dimension, in context, and at any level of aggregation quickly and easily.
