Which account type is associated with metrics in cube sheets?

The association of metrics in cube sheets is with the metric account type. Metric accounts are specifically designed to hold calculated or measured values that can be evaluated against other dimensions or accounts. In the context of cube sheets, which analyze data through multidimensional structures, metric accounts become essential as they provide the quantitative values that are crucial for performance analysis and reporting.

These accounts are typically linked to key performance indicators (KPIs), allowing users to assess business performance effectively. By using metric accounts, organizations can create reports and dashboards that offer insights into their operations by calculating metrics such as revenue, expenses, or other performance measures. This facilitates better decision-making based on real-time data.

The other account types, such as dimension accounts, cube accounts, and fact accounts, serve different purposes within the Adaptive Planning framework. Dimension accounts define the various categories, such as departments or products, while fact accounts would deal with underlying transactions or detailed data. However, for metrics specifically used in cube sheets, metric accounts are the appropriate choice.
