What are non-additive facts in detail?
A fact may be measure, metric or a dollar value. Measure and metric are non additive facts.
Dollar value is additive fact. If we want to find out the amount for a particular place for a particular period of time, we can add the dollar amounts and come up with the total amount.
A non additive fact, for eg measure height(s) for ‘citizens by geographical location’ , when we rollup ‘city’ data to ’state’ level data we should not add heights of the citizens rather we may want to use it to derive ‘count’
