In Cube, a multi-dimensional range is configured with more than one top-level dimension (TLD) in rows or columns.
Here are a few examples:
1x2 Range
1 Column TLD x 2 Row TLDs
Example: T&E Expense, by Dept
1 Column TLDs (Time: Q1-20) x 2 Row TLDs (Department: Sales, Marketing & Account: Travel and Entertainment)
2x1 Range
2 Column TLDs x 1 Row TLD
Example: Revenue by Entity
2 Column TLDs (Entity: Sample Co LTD, Sample Co GmbH, All Entities & Time: Jan-20, Feb-20) x 1 Row TLD (Account: Revenue)
2x2 Range
2 Column TLDs x 2 Row TLDs
1x1 Range (NOT a multi-dim. range)
1 Column TLD x 1 Row TLD
