2.2.1 Type of Hierarchy Notes
Level-based: This type of hierarchy consists of an ordered set of two or more levels.
Example: A time hierarchy might have three levels for Year, Quarter, and Month.
Level-based hierarchies can also contain parent-child relationships. This type of dimension
hierarchy levels allow to perform aggregate navigation and configure level-based measure
calculations.
