Cube Features

Abstract

This Chapter is something of a grab bag of features that build on the foundation of an OLAP cube to provide additional usability for end users. The first section, “Business Intelligence,” includes those enhancements that can be added with the Business Intelligence Wizard, including time intelligence (period-to-date, rolling average, and so forth), account intelligence (asset, liability, income, expense), the unary operator (to indicate how values should be aggregated up a hierarchy), attribute ordering, and currency conversion.
