I'm serious...

This?

http://www.mdxsoftware.com/|||You are serious ... :confused:

Worked on OLAP ... Analysis Server ?

MDX = Multi - Dimensional Expressions

MDX is query language used for querying OLAP Cubes|||Sorry...no warehouse tools...

Had to build them manually...

No magic....

What do you think you can do with analysis services that you can't do manually?

My Multi Billion $$ Company only bought standard edition...

I did find 1 box with Enterprise though...|||Hmm ...

It seems you havent used OLAP Cubes yet ...

I agree it can be done manually too ... but you too would love the power of analysis a Cube gives you (just like a pivot table in excel) ...|||Any way I can sneak into the back of the class? I don't think Microsoft has developed a course for MDX, as yet. Probably because they know their MDX implementation has a few kinks to work out...|||MS does have a course for mdx and it has been out for about 3 or 4 years.
you will find an outline at this link.
Course 2093: Implementing Business Logic with MDX in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/syllabi/2093AFinal.asp)

it is MOC (Microsoft Official Curriculum)
i have taught it a few times and it is pretty good.

it appears that someone is going to be using the same exact outline
