Description: This is a good book that will help you get started on Microsoft's SQL Server Analysis Services.<BR>You'll get to learn how to build a Cube, build a Dimension and the different types of Measures.<BR>You'll learn how to determine the type of dimensions you have.<BR>You'll learn how to do some basic tricks. But you won't learn any of the advanced topics that I was hoping for. <BR>This book doesn't go into any details about how historical data is handled.<BR>How to do some basic MDX programming.<BR>How to make custom incremental cube processing.<BR>etc. This is a beginner's book, as the title suggests, that will take you from clueless to comfortable in Analysis Services in a short period of time. That's why I gave it 4 stars. This book in no way substitutes a good book on OLAP and/or data warehousing (such as Kimbal's books).
