• The ninth video discusses the Cube Wizard for Analysis Services 2005. The Cube Wizard creates cubes but can also create dimensions, and populate those dimensions with attributes and hierarchies. This video will be followed by one specific to Analysis Services 2008 because of the significant differences in the Cube Wizard between versions. This video runs 16.5 minutes.
• The tenth video shows the Cube Wizard for Analysis Services 2008. The Cube Wizard for 2008 is greatly simplified from the one in 2005 and takes a minimalist approach to creating dimensions. This video runs 12.5 minutes.
• The eleventh video follows up on the Cube Wizard videos. The video explains the build, deployment, and processing pieces by deploying and processing the simple cube created in the previous videos. The video then covers browsing the data to verify the cube structure. This video runs 23 minutes.
• The twelfth video shows the creation of dimensions using the Dimension Wizards in both SSAS 2005 and SSAS 2008. After creating a dimension, the difference between a database dimension and cube dimension is explored, along with several of the attributes of a dimension. Finally, properties of the attributes are examined along with a discussion of what will follow in future videos. This video runs 42.5 minutes.
• The thirteenth video follows up on the twelfth by adding hierarchies to the dimensions created in the previous video. There is a discussion of why hierarchies should be created, then a demonstration of how to do it. Some properties are examined to change the name of the All level of the hierarchy, as well as to hide the All level. This video runs 25 minutes.
• The fourteenth video is "Attribute Relationships" and covers an extremely important topic in dimension design. You'll learn why attribute relationships are so important, how to create them, and some of the challenges you might have in working with them. Demonstrations in both SSAS 2005 and SSAS 2008 are provided. This video runs 57.5 minutes.
• The fifteenth video is "Dimension Usage" and discusses how cubes handle multiple fact tables when the facts have different dimensionality. You'll discover why you need multiple fact tables, how dimensions can be related to measure groups, and how to handle unrelated dimensions when viewing facts. This video runs 19 minutes.
• The sixteenth video is "Aggregation Basics in SSAS 2005" and covers why you want to create aggregations and how to use the aggregation wizard. A discussion of the "one-third rule" is included. This video runs 24 minutes.
• The seventeenth video is "Aggregation Basics in SSAS 2008" and covers why you want to create aggregations and how to use the new aggregation wizard, including the Aggregation Usage page. A discussion of the "one-third rule" is included. This video runs 25 minutes.
• The eighteenth video is "Introduction to PerformancePoint Server." and discusses the three modules of PerformancePoint Server: Monitoring, Analytics, and Planning. It describes how the three modules fit together to form a complete solution for keeping tabs on business performance. This video runs 21 minutes.
• The nineteenth video is the first in an introductory series about MDX. This video, entitled "MDX: Basics and Structure," discusses the basics of MDX including usage, tuples, sets, and the basic structure of an MDX query. This video runs 27.5 minutes.
• The twentieth video is the first "QuickHit" video, which are short videos that address a solution to a specific problem or question. The video discusses how IgnoreUnrelatedDimensions works with calculated measures. This video runs 5 minutes.
• The twenty first video is the second MDX video and covers hierarchy navigation for both attribute hierarchies and user hierarchies. Member and Set Functions are covered including Members, Parent, Children, and Descendants. This video runs 19.5 minutes.
• The twenty second video is a QuickHit that covers attributes that are added to a natural hierarchy and are given a compound key, but the attribute hierarchy should remain available without the compound key. This video runs 6.5 minutes.
• The twenty third video is a QuickHit that covers incremental fact processing. See how to load new records into a measure group/partition without duplicating records. This video runs 11 minutes.
• The twenty fourth video describes slowly changing dimensions, both Type I and Type II, and how to work with them in SSAS. This video runs 26.5 minutes.
• The twenty fifth video covers calculations in an SSAS database. These calculations include calculated members, named sets, and scripts (the SCOPE statement.) This video runs 35.5 minutes.
• The twenty sixth video covers Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). There is a discussion of what KPIs are and then discusses the elements of a KPI (value, goal, status, trend.) This video runs 27 minutes.
• The twenty seventh video is an overview of the ProClarity products. You'll learn what products exist, their uses, and their likely futures. This video runs 11 minutes.
• The twenty eighth video covers the basics of analysis with ProClarity Desktop Professional. See how to drill down and drill up, expand and collapse data, and cycle through the four basic views. This video runs 20.5 minutes.
