  • hi,

    For getting into using MDX you must have a cube to query upon.SO first buld up a data cube using the tables availaible in the database.Then create a database named same as what you have used for the creation of a cube.Now deploy the datacube using the BIDS which will give you all the properties for you in the defined database. Now you can use the MDX query on the cube which you have created in the Analysis Service.
