# Dimensions In Math Vs In Data Warehouse I tried Google Gemini, which provided the best explanation that combines the concept of dimension in both a mathematical and data warehouse sense-- it made me realize that “A fact” in a data warehouse can be conceptually visualized as a point defined by its dimensions (caveat: keep in mind that a complete fact table entry also includes the associated measurement value as well as dimensions; i.e. the coordinate alone cannot fully represent the entire row in a fact table).I like this explanation so much that I created the following diagram ![[dimension-math-vs-datawarehouse.png]]
