Reporting and analyzing data with OLAP Services features

While creating and viewing reports in MicroStrategy, you can use various OLAP Services features to report and analyze data using an in-memory copy of data, rather than querying the data warehouse.

This provides both OLAP Services features and full ROLAP analysis on your report with no overhead to create or maintain an Intelligent Cube, or to link your report to an Intelligent Cube.

Along with all of the standard reporting features available in MicroStrategy, the OLAP Services features listed below can be used on reports:

• Dynamic Aggregation
• Derived Metrics
• View Filters

The sections listed above describe how to use various OLAP Services features with reports. For information on how to create reports and use all the standard reporting features available in MicroStrategy, see the Basic Reporting Help and the Advanced Reporting Help.
