# Dimension Hierarchies in Tableau Semantics

Create a dimension hierarchy to provide a defined analysis path for data exploration through consumption layers. Group related dimensions and build a hierarchy using fields from single or multiple objects. This structure sequences consumption layers logically for efficient data exploration, eliminating the need to manually add separate fields to a report.

For example, create a hierarchy named "Geography" composed of the Country (Level 1), Region (Level 2), and City (Level 3) dimensions. Users then have a single exploration path where they initially see data grouped by country but can drill down to get details for regions or cities, without manually adding separate fields to a report.

    Group related dimensions using fields from single or multiple objects to create a single, navigable path for data exploration.
- **[Edit or Delete a Dimension Hierarchy](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.c360_a_sl_dimension_hierarchies_edit.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can modify existing hierarchies to add new levels, reorder dimensions, or remove them.
