Strategy ONE
Create an MDX Cube Report in Strategy Workstation and Library
Starting in Strategy One (December 2025), you can use Workstation and Library to create an MDX cube report.
To create an MDX cube in Workstation or Library, you need to have either the Define MDX Cube Report or Web Define MDX Cube Report privilege.
At least one MDX cube must be imported into your Strategy project. Importing MDX cubes is often handled by a Strategy architect. For more information on importing MDX cubes into Strategy, see Importing MDX Cubes.
You cannot use a report template with an MDX cube.
You should have some experience and knowledge of designing Strategy reports, as described in Create and Edit Reports in Workstation and Create Reports in Library.
