As part of Tableau Questions and Answers series, I am asking questions related to Tableau and data warehousing concepts relating to dimensions and measures. I will encourage my students and other readers to explore the answers and reply with comments.

Dimension tables contains the descriptive information of the data such as Order details, Product description. Whereas Fact tables contains measurable information such as Sales, Profit.
A dimension table stores attributes or dimensions which contains the Descriptive values and Fact table consists of the measurements, metrics.
