Project Data Cube Dimensions

There are numerous dimensions available from the Project data cube. These dimensions display in the Excel 2007 PivotTable Field List in an Excel worksheet when you connect to the Project data cube to create a Vision custom report.

The Project dimensions that you see in Excel may differ from the list in this topic because:

  • You must purchase and activate the Vision Performance Management module to have access to the dimensions and measures added in the Vision 7.0 and later releases. If you do not purchase this module, you have access to only the dimensions and measures available in prior Vision releases.

  • You must purchase and activate the Vision Performance Management module to have access to the new Vision 7.0 Analysis Cubes Configuration. In Configuration you complete the following actions:

    • Select which dimensions display in the Project data cube.

    • Select Vision user-defined fields to populate the Project data cube.

  • Some of the dimensions in Analysis Cubes work only if you have Microsoft SQL Server ™ Enterprise Edition installed. These dimensions are noted in the list below.

You can also use the Project Billing Client dimensions with the Project Billing Clients Count measure in the Project Billing Client Measures group.

This folder contains fields that you can use to sort and group (or filter) by for a client. For example, this allows you to select all clients in the Hospital industry, and then see the total billings (or whatever other measure) for those projects.
