About the Measures dimension

In addition to the dimensions , BPC also requires a dimension called Measures. This dimension is automatically included in all BPC application sets. It is not listed as a dimension-type when you are creating new dimensions, but is displayed in the current view. Measures allow you to change the view of your data.

You can view Periodic, Quarter-to-date (QTD), Year-to-date (YTD), Month-to-date (MTD), and Week-to-date (WTD) views of your data using the Measures dimension.
