- This video lesson fully explains the concepts of Business Intelligence, OLAP, MDX and how they apply to Excel 2013.
The lesson begins with an explanation of OLAP and its purpose. You'll learn about OLAP Cubes and how they are divided into Dimensions, Measure and Hierarchies to create a multidimensional data structure. You'll also learn about how the MDX query language is used to extract values from OLAP cubes. This lesson also explains the concept of Business Intelligence and how it applies to OLAP.
This video comes from the Data Model, OLAP, MDX and BI session (Session 6 in our Excel 2013 Expert Skills free video training course).
I’ve written a more up to date (and completely free) overview of OLAP that you can read on this link:

hi, can I get a free copy of this book?
Thx
Where is lesson 6-4?
Greetings
This lesson is a video version of a lesson from Session 6 in the 2013 version of the book “Learn Excel Expert Skills with The Smart Method”. I did record all 10 lessons from Session 6 back in 2013 but only Lessons 6-1, 6-3 and 6-9 are really relevant to OLAP in 2021 so I’ve left these on UA-cam.
Microsoft’s current OLAP solution (Power Query/Get & Transform, 3D Maps, Power Pivot and DAX) is now included in all modern versions of Excel and are hugely more powerful than they were in the (now retired) 2013 version.
I’ve written a more up to date (and completely free) overview of OLAP that you can read on this link:
thesmartmethod.com/excel-power-pivot-2-minute-overview/
I hope this article helps you to understand more about OLAP and relational database principles.
The current version of my book “Learn Excel 365 Expert Skills with The Smart Method, Jan 2021 Fifth Edition”, has150 pages devoted to Microsoft’s current OLAP solution.
British English should be the spoken language of the world,
great
Very pleased that you found it useful.
