Cubes and MDX

R

Does anyone know a simple tutorial for MDX?

I need to build some calculations inside the cubes but MSDN whitepapers are
not being really helpful.

Thanks!

Rene,

If you are using the Data Anlayser and build a view, you can build simple
MDX statements with the "calculated fields" option that you can find in the
tools bar of the data analyser. ( it is the calculator icon). you can choose
a field value ( e.g. [work]) and then create your formula (e.g.
[work]-[Actual Work]).

You are able to create simple MDX statements this way. If you are after some
more complex MDX statements you can also google "MDX statements" I always
find good references. Alternitafly you can purchase good books ( check out
Amazon )

I hope this helps
