Visão Geral

Este CURSO MDX with Microsoft Analysis Service, conduzido por instrutor é projetado para levar uma pessoa desde o início das consultas MDX ao profissional. O início da aula o deixará bem fundamentado e, a partir daí, expandimos. Você não saberá como fazer todas as consultas MDX. Você não vai olhar para todas as funções. Mas você entenderá os padrões e, a partir deles, poderá examinar exemplos e construí-los para codificar suas próprias consultas sofisticadas.

Publico Alvo

• Este CURSO MDX with Microsoft Analysis Service destina-se principalmente a profissionais de SQL, desenvolvedores de cubos e relatórios do Microsoft Analysis Service e profissionais de Business Intelligence provenientes de plataformas concorrentes. Mas você não precisa dessas habilidades. O curso não foi escrito assumindo essas habilidades.

Pre-Requisitos

• Sua empresa está migrando ou implementando o Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services
• Sua organização está implementando Business Intelligence de departamento com um Data Mart.
• Você deseja desenvolver um conjunto de habilidades em alta demanda.
• Os relatórios atuais dos cubos não fornecem as respostas.
• Sua organização deseja que você se familiarize com o MDX para poder criar análises avançadas.
