Defining Unit Variance by Dimension

How to use Dimensions with Units

PreviousDimension SetupNextData Types

Last updated 11 months ago

Overview

When you use in a , you may need to specify how each part of the Variable's varies.

For example, in the screenshot below, our Variable has two (repeated) Dimensions replied: 1) Widget Supplier that a customer is moving from, and 2) Widget Supplier that a customer is moving to.

In this case, the numerator (top) of the Unit refers to the "To" supplier, and the denominator (bottom) refers to the "From" supplier.

The user indicates how the unit parts should vary by using the toggle controls highlighted. This means that Models can correctly infer how to create the Units for and how to correctly reference Variables in .
