I enjoyed reading this article, thank you. I have been using SQL Server 2005 for a couple of years now, in particular SSIS and SSRS. However, I have not used SSAS so far, because the work that I have been involved in did not require the use of SSAS. If I were to start learning SSAS, would your book be a good starting point or is it too advanced for a beginer? I don't know the MDX language, but am a very confident T-SQL developer.

By the way, unlike some of the readers who could not download the database and restore it, I restored the database and viewed and queried the cube as per your instructions with no difficulties.
