  I'm looking for a good 2012 SSAS book. We're getting into BI work and have started building cubes off of log shipped or replicated production OLTP data. I'm a DBA and need to manage cube deployment. Can anyone recommend some good books and/or websites to learn more about SSAS? We're mostly doing multidimensional so far but will eventually move towards tabular.

  Thanks for any recommendations!
