# MDP Dimensions

In Marketing Cloud Intelligence Data Pipelines, a dimension is a qualitative non-numerical attribute that provides information about your dataset, for example, campaign name and campaign ID. A dimension can’t be counted, even when it includes a number. For instance, a campaign ID consists of numbers but you can’t calculate them.

Note Creating a new help portal takes time. We're in the process of creating all the necessary topics for MDP. New content will become available over the next several months.

The dimension list shows which dimensions the data model uses and are available in your workspace. The available dimension types are: Text, Date, Link, Image, Number, Video.

From the dimension list, you can:

- Export the dimension list.
- Edit dimension display names.

- Replace a dimension across your workspace.
- View the data stream associated with the dimensions.
- View which dimensions are mapped and unmapped.

    A calculated dimension is a non-numerical field or dimension that you can create on top of your existing data. Calculated dimensions don’t exist physically in the database. Rather, each calculated dimension represents a query that can be referenced to from any report or pivot table.
