A chart is a graphical representation that organizes and represents a set of numerical or qualitative data. Charts allow you to slice, dice, and drill-down into data.

Slice - is the act of picking a rectangular subset of a semantic model by choosing a single value for one of its dimensions. For example, the sales figures for all sales regions and all product categories of the company in a year can be "sliced" out of the semantic model.
Dice - is a slice on more than two dimensions of data. A dice, for example, shows the sales figures of a limited number of product categories, while the time and region dimensions cover the same range as the slice example.
Drill up/down - allows you to navigate among levels of data ranging from the most summarized (up) to the most detailed (down)
