Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2005 Analysis Services Step by Step

Part III. Advanced Design

In Part II, you learned the basics for designing dimensions and measure groups to create a useful analytical solution with Analysis Services. You also learned how to design objects to handle certain unique financial analysis requirements. Throughout the chapters of Part III, you’ll work with advanced design techniques to support sophisticated analysis on the one hand and to simplify access to analysis on the other hand. Later in Part IV, you’ll shift your focus from building a solution to implementing, managing, and maintaining that solution.
