Associations (PDM)

An association relates a cube to the dimension that defines it.

It shows the axis of investigation of the dimension (see Dimensions (PDM)) in the cube (see Cubes (PDM)).

For example, the Sale cube is linked to the Time dimension by the Sale - Time association to analyze sales through the time dimension.

There can be only one association between a cube and a dimension.
