Select the Dimension Type (Dimension Wizard)

This step of the wizard appears only if, in the Select dimension table step, you selected a table that contains both date-formatted columns and columns of other formats. In this step, you specify the type of dimension you want to create.

Options

Standard dimension

Creates a standard categorical dimension, rather than a time dimension.

Time dimension

Creates a time dimension based on a date-formatted column.

• Date column

  If you click Time dimension, you must select the date-formatted column from the Date column list.
