RE: What is slicing and dicing? Explain with real time...
Hi,



Slicing and Dicing is a feature that helps us in seeing the more detailed information about a particular thing.




For eg: You have a report which shows the quarterly based performance of a particular product. But you want to see it in a monthly wise. So you can use slicing and dicing technique to drill down to monthly level.




I hope this information will be useful
