MDX with Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Analysis Services Cookbook - Third Edition: Over 70 practical recipes to analyze multi-dimensional data in SQL Server 2016 Analysis Services cubes

I have found this book very useful. After struggling for two months with a complex MDX calculation I managed to solve after owning this book for only three days. Well written and good samples.

I was the technical reviewer for this book. I've worked with SSAS for years, but frankly often fumbled around with solutions due to the dearth of really good documentation and blog posts. I've learned MDX, like most, through trial and error...the "error" often only being discovered when my solution wouldn't scale anymore and I was pressed to refactor quickly.If you use SSAS or MDX regularly, and even if you consider yourself an expert, you should still peruse this book. I found a number of recipes that I can incorporate into my daily life. I also found some new ideas and ways to use MDX that I hadn't thought about previously.I liked the real-world examples best. Much better than the contrived code you'll see in many other books.

Excellent for beginners
