In OLAP, a measure is a data item that is to be processed, such as a sum, count, or average of a specific dimension or attribute. It represents the numerical values that can be aggregated, summarized, and analyzed across different dimensions in the OLAP cube. Dimensions represent the characteristics or attributes that categorize the data, while a cube is a multi-dimensional array of measures and dimensions. Target is not a relevant term in OLAP.
