Summary
At this point, you have successfully created an Analysis Services multidimensional project. You have added dimensions and cubes to the project. You have also deployed your project as an Analysis Services database and processed that database so that you can load it with data. You now have a cube that supports basic analytics, which means you can browse the cube right now using tools such as Excel or Power BI. We wrapped up our build and deployment by browsing the data we deployed to the cube.
In the next chapter, we will continue to expand the cube by adding calculations and KPIs to it. We will also explore our data using SSMS and MDX.
