Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a client tool for olap cubes. Do you have any experience with any? Also some prices are welcomed.
Thank you.

We use Excel. You also have to install the Analysis Services 9.0 OLEDB provider on the client machine to query a SSAS 2005 cube or Analysis Services 8.0 OLEDB provider on the client machine to query a SSAS 2000 cube.

I know it's Microsoft, but the tools is pretty decent for looking at data cubes.

Good Luck!

Hi

You could possibly have a look at "Proclarity" or "Panorama". These are both good tools.

I have only worked with Proclarity but have heard good things about Panorama.

Cheers

Jacques

ProClarity is a very good tool for users. It is now owned by Microsoft so it should not be expensive per user.
