Data Cube Definition
A data cube is a three-dimensional (3D) array of data, typically used in business intelligence and reporting applications. The data cube provides a multidimensional view of information, allowing users to analyze and compare data across multiple dimensions. For example, a data cube might contain sales data for different products, regions, and time periods.
The term ‘data cube’ can also refer to the hardware or software used to create and store the 3D array of data. Data cubes are often created using OLAP (online analytical processing) tools.
