The segments within a dimension must be weighted. For example, if you are going to use the Gender dimension with its Male and Female segments, then you must specify the male-to-female ratio that you want in the result. You can create several weighting sets for a dimension, though only one weight set can be used on a dimension per sample.
Use this tab to create a new Weight set for a dimension, and see and/or edit the details of existing weights - .
