When you define a calculated or streaming insight with SQL in Data 360, use the supported data types for your measures and dimensions. Measures
are the numerical values you aggregate; dimensions are the qualitative fields you group
by.
A measure is a numerical value enhanced by an aggregation function in an insight. Use one
of these data types when you add a measure to an insight.
