525525# ## Aggregating indexes
526526
527- Aggregating indexes can be defined as well. Such indexes contain **only**
528- dimensions and pre-aggregated measures from the pre-aggregation definition.
527+ Aggregating indexes should be used when there is a wide rollup pre-aggregation, however, only a subset of its dimensions is queried.
528+ For example, you have rollup pre-aggregation with 50 dimensions, but any query is just using only 5 of those dimensions.
529+ Such a use case would be a sweet spot for the aggregating index.
530+ Such indexes would persist **only** dimensions from the index definition and pre-aggregated measures from the pre-aggregation definition.
531+ Cube Store would aggregate over missing dimensions to calculate stored measure values when preparing the aggregating index.
532+ During querying time, Cube Store will save time on this aggregation over missing dimensions, as it was done during the preparation step.
