Explanation

Measures are typically aggregated (e.g., sum, average) when added to a view, whereas dimensions are generally not aggregated; they categorize and segment data. Dimensions influence the level of detail in a visualization by determining how data is sliced or grouped. In contrast, measures provide the values that are calculated within those groups. Both dimensions and measures can be used in calculated fields, and both can be used as filters.
