Conformed Dimension With Example

In Data Warehousing,Conformed dimension is a dimension that has exactly the same meaning and content when being referred from different fact tables .Dimensions are conformed when they are either exactly the same (including keys) or one is a perfect subset of the other.For example, two dimension tables that are exactly the same except for the primary key are not considered conformed dimensions.

The time dimension is a common conformed dimension in an organization.














As you can see in the above figure,the time and Store dimensions are called confirmed dimensions as they are shared.
