What Is Microsoft BI?
Core concept – BI is the cube or UDM
Example cube as seen using Excel pivot table
MS BI is comprehensive – more than Analysis Services on SQL Server
Demonstration of SQL Reporting Services with cube as data source
OLAP Modeling
Modeling source schemas—stars and snowflakes
Understanding dimensional modeling— Dimensions (Type 1, 2, or 3) or rapidly changing
Understanding fact (measures) and cube modeling
Other types of modeling—data mining etc…

KPIs
Perspectives
Translations – cube metadata and currency localization
Actions – regular, drill-through and reporting
Advanced SSAS
Using multiple fact tables
Modeling intermediate fact tables
Modeling M:M dimensions, Fact (degenerate) dimensions, Role-playing dimensions, write back dimensions
