Moving On
The techniques you learned in this chapter and the previous three provide you with all you need to get started in
creating your own SSAS projects. But as always, there is still more to discover. The “Learn by Doing” exercise at
the end of this chapter further enhances your understanding. We hope you will give it a try.
At this point, we are more than halfway through the lifecycle of a BI solution! (See Figure
12-50
.) Next we
begin looking at the reporting aspects of a BI solution.

LearN BY DOING
In this “learn by doing” exercise, you configure the cube you made in Chapter 8 similar to the way we
configured our example in this chapter. use the northwind database to perform this exercise. We have
included an outline of the steps you performed in this chapter and an example of how the authors handled
them in two Word documents. These documents are found in the folder
C:\_BookFiles\_LearnByDoing\
