Causal dimension

A causal dimension is a dimension that answers why something is! It does not record information that says something descriptive about the fact, but information that says something about the circumstances under which the fact takes place. This is done for the purpose of explaining why the fact occurs. A sales fact can occur under a promotion. The promotion is the reason for the sale (the why). The promotion dimension is a typical example of causality.
