Paul Turley
Let’s Pick Up Where We Left Off Last Month with MDX Applications
Last month, Paul introduced fundamental Analysis Services solution concepts, briefly explored the cube space and then moved to a progressive demonstration showing creative query techniques using MDX. But what will you do with this learning in the next month? You can get started and apply this knowledge today. In this session, we learn to solve real problems and apply MDX query techniques to real business reporting needs that everyone can use right away. I will show you how to build an analytic report in SSRS with parameters and drill-through actions.
I’ll also show you how to transform a working MDX query into an interactive mobile dashboard using Microsoft DataZen.
