Private Dimension - In Microsoft Analysis Services, a dimension that is restricted in use to one particular cube.
Shared (conformed) dimensions are very useful in creating a unified data warehousing structure. You can create a dimension once and use it in several different cubes.
Private dimensions are useful in those situations where you want independent cubes. If you change a private dimension, that change only affects a single cube, whereas the change of a shared dimensions can have implications for many cubes.
