Example: Build a Cube Sheet for Price and Mix Per Product
This example illustrates how to build a cube sheet to track the price and mix of product purchases.
You want to track the price of each product and the percent that each product will make up of the total products sold. To keep the cube simple, you don't want to track the customers that purchase the products.
You then want to use the data you collect in this sheet to drive calculations on a merged cube sheet. The merged cube sheet calculates the revenue for each customer per product.
