Description
Hierarchies is a progression of many-to-one associations and can be of various stages. A Region hierarchy comprises of Country, City, State, Region and Street. Progressions take after top-down or base up approach. Dimension hierarchies or Logical dimensions are created in BMM layer. There are two sorts of dimensional hierarchies that are conceivable, such as:
- Dimension with parent-child hierarchies
- Dimensions with level-based hierarchies
Description
In parent-child hierarchy, each and every members are of the similar type. The most widely recognized case parent-child hierarchy is the reporting structure in an association. Parent-child hierarchy command depends on a solitary consistent table. Every row consisting of two keys,such as:
- One for the member
- Another for the parent of the member.

Description
The dimension hierarchies in Level-based can likewise consisting of parent-child association. The basic succession to make level-based hierarchies is to begin with excellent aggregate level and afterward working down to lower levels.The hierarchies in Level-based permits the user to execute the following procedural steps such as
- Penetrate down to youngster level in dashboards.
- Level-based ascertained measures.
- Total route.
Description
The different types of level based hierarchy can be classified into the following types such as:
In skip-level hierarchies, couple of individuals don't have values at more elevated amount.
Unbalanced hierarchies are those where each and every lower levels does not contain similar profundity.
- Skip level hierarchy
- Unbalanced hierarchy
Key points
- Hierarchy - Is a progression of many-to-one associations and consisting of different stages.
- Dimension with parent-child hierarchy - All the members will be of same type.
- Dimensions with level-based hierarchy - Consisting of parent-child associations.
