Slice and Dice - The ability to move between different combinations of dimensions when viewing data with an OLAP browser.

Multidimensional Analysis tools organize the data in two primary ways: in multiple dimensions and in hierarchies.

Slicing and dicing refers to the ability to combine and re-combine the dimensions to see different slices of the information.

Slicing and dicing a cube allows an end-user to do the same thing with multiple dimensions.
