Quantity Measured

This dimension groups units of measurement by the physical quantity they actually measure. Wikipedia notes that "a length is a physical quantity" and that "the metre (symbol: m) is a unit of length that represents a definite predetermined length," one example of a unit tied to one specific quantity. Browsing this way collects every unit that measures the same quantity.
