Definition and examples

Tables are groups of Metrics that may be analyzed and compared together. It is composed of at least one Metric and uses at least one Dimension. Metrics in a Table may not have the same Dimension, so the Table handles allocation/aggregation.

Examples of Tables:

• P&L: multiple Metrics like Revenue, Cost, Margin, and similar. 

• Project Costs: multiple types of Metrics: hardware, staff, travel and similar.

Adding Metrics to a Table
