Quick Tip: Working with the ID dimension

Hi all,

I wanted to write a quick tip for everyone on the ID dimension. When you first import some data into our Arithmix app the first thing you will see is a view like this:

This is a list of supermarket sales with an associated tax amount.

What does the ID dimension do?

The ID dimension is a way to uniquely identify each record of your import. You can think of it like a unique key in a database if you are familiar or like the row numbers in a spreadsheet.

Tip: Get a quick Summary

Drag the ID dimension onto our ‘pages’ shelf.

This will help you get a quick summary of all records in the imported data for a quick check that the data is good.

Thanks for reading,

Vince
