Hi,
I'm okay at SQL Server and Reporting Services, but know close to nothing about SSAS. I get the theory behind data warehouses, but have built or queried cubes before. Are there tutorials or good books for SSAS beginners available anywhere?
I did find Ray Barley's tutorial, but I think he's using SSAS2005, so the wizards are different... so his tutorial gives a pretty good overall view of the steps, but they don't mesh with what you need to do in 2008/2012.
Thanks!
Pieter

Are there any good tutorials online anywhere? I guess I'll see if there's anything on the MS website... or PragmaticWorks.

Hi,

Use the Nill2Bill site for training.

The good thing about this site is that it only works professionally on SSAS topics, and all of its educational content is in the form of infographics.

If you are a beginner, use the following article:

https://nill2bill.com/ssas-tutorial-for-beginners/

And if you want to teach for intermediate and advanced levels, from the following article:

https://nill2bill.com/ssas-tutorial-for-intermediate/
