dimensional fact model

A dimensional fact model is a way of organizing data that helps analyze business information efficiently. It separates data into two main parts: facts and dimensions. Facts are measurable data points, like sales amount or number of units sold. Dimensions are categories or qualifiers, such as product type, time period, or location, that provide context for the facts. This structure makes it easier for businesses to generate reports and analyze trends quickly, especially in data warehouses, by focusing on key metrics and their related categories.
