MDX Training Part 1 (Udemy.com)

The full form of MDX is Multi Dimensional eXpression. This is used to query OLAP cube. It means you can select or retrieve the data from OLAP cube using MDX . In this course i have used SQL Server Analysis Services technology to fetch the data using MDX queries.

To make it more clear i can say , we write SQL commands to select the data from the database . In the same way we write MDX queries to select the data from OLAP cube. 

In this online MDX Training video Course, following are the course contents which are covered

•Structure of the cube

•How MDX Queries Fetch the data from the cube

•How to create a basic cube

•What is the purpose of Hierarchy

In this MDX video tutorial ,quiz, lab exercises  and  demonstration exercises are also included. With all these practice activities participant will feel more confident and will be able to write basic MDX scripts by himself or herself. If participant is working in a company where MDX scripts are prewritten then participants will be able to understand those scripts after learning this course.

But i will not stop only to this course , very soon i will release MDX Part 2 which will have advanced MDX queries and functions . After that course participant will be able to write complex MDX commands and feel more confident in writing MDX commands.
