data cubes

A data cube is a way to organize and analyze large amounts of data across multiple dimensions, similar to a multi-dimensional spreadsheet. Imagine sales data organized by product, time, and location; a data cube allows you to quickly view summaries, comparisons, or trends across these categories. It enables users to perform complex queries efficiently, such as total sales by region or by month, without repeatedly processing raw data. Data cubes help businesses gain insights by structuring data in a way that makes diverse and multidimensional analysis straightforward and accessible.
