Hypercube Repersents Multidimensional View of Data

Hypercube allows data to be viewed from multiple dimensions like time, customer, product, and location. It represents data in an OLAP data warehouse in n-dimensional tables called cubes. There are four main operations performed on a hypercube: roll-up aggregates data by dimension reduction; drill-down navigates to more detailed data; slice performs a selection on one dimension; and pivot rotates the data axes to provide an alternate presentation.

HYPERCUBE & OPERATIONS PERFORMED ON HYPERCUBE

Hypercube
OLAP(On-Line Analytical Processing) is datawarehouse technology used to perform summarization as well as the ability to view the information from different angles. OLAP tools are based on multidimensional data model.This model views data in the forms of a data cube known as hypercube. Hypercube also known as multidimensional cube.

Cont.
Hypercube allows data to viewed in multiple dimensions. Data warehouse have many different dimensions(further level hierarchy) like: Time:year>quarter>month>week>day Customer:customer group>name Product:product group>name Location:area>region>country

How to make hypercube?


First make 2-D view of data i.e data in form of tables. A 2-D view of sales data for all electronics according to dimensions time and item,where the sales are from branches located in the city of vancouver.

cont.
To view sales data with third dimension. A 3-D view of sales data for all electronics according to dimensions time ,item and location.

OLAP Operations in Hypercube


Roll-up Drill-down Slice and dice Pivot(Rotation)

Roll-up
Also known as drill-up. Performs aggregation on hypercube by dimension reduction For e.g
Fig shows aggregation of data by ascending the location hierarchy from the level of city to the level of country.

Cont.

Drill-down
Reverse of roll-up. It navigates from less detailed data to more detailed data. In fig drill down occurs by decending the time from level of quaters to more detailed level of months.

Cont.

Drill-down

Slice and Dice


Slice- it performs selection on one dimension of the given cube resulting in subcube

Cont.
Dice- it performs a selection on two or more dimensions.

Pivot(rotate)
It rotates data axes in the view in order to provide an alternate presentation of data.
