Analysis Services Multidimensional

  • I guess the more questions there are on topics I know zilch about the sooner I will get around to learning something about SSAS. So I definitely welcome questions like this one, although it took me a lot of burrowing through MSDN and trying to understand new things to discover the answer. So a really good question.

    One thing I noticed was that MSDN is a terrible source for information on this - I couldn't find anything that directly answerd the question. I was quite hard to stitch the varions clues together and come up with teh correct result. I hate it when software has documentation which doesn't provide a decent conceptual model which woul include things like this. So thanks for the reference in the explanation to the Kejser and Lee document - that will help fill the gap for me (and probably ensure that I continue to have more to do than I have time for, as I suspect it will be a long read).

  • Easy one!

    Thanks!

    🙂

  • I also found this doc from MSDN that explains the answer

    SSAS2005PerfGuide.doc

  • Not an easy one. But good QotD.

  • good QOTD.

    Thanks Steven.

  • Nice diagram here:

  • No problem, folks. For me, learning SSAS was like learning organic chemistry--a lot of repetition, hands-on practice, and reading the right material that "spoke to me in just the right way". More SSAS questions are on their way this week. 🙂

  • Two out of three from a pdf file I downloaded from Microsoft. Good question. But a little rough for a Monday after I drank 4 sodas (high fructose corn syrup!) at a Super Bowl party. :hehe:

  • This one took me almost half an hour: yes, MSDN does not have good documentation on this.

    Thanks for the QotD, Steven!

    Interesting question, thanks, Steven

    I knew about the dimension data and frequently used calculated cells, but, never having used subcubes before, this was new to me.

    learned something new today. :Wow:

    I learned something new today as well - if only for a fleeting moment.;-)
