Advanced Modeling for InterSystems IRIS Business

What problem does it solve?

This Skill empowers users to define and implement advanced data modeling concepts within InterSystems IRIS Business Intelligence, specifically focusing on computed dimensions and shared/compound cubes for more sophisticated data analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Computed Dimensions: Define dynamic members at runtime using SQL or MDX queries, offering flexibility beyond static data.
• Shared Dimensions: Create dimensions that can be reused across multiple cubes, ensuring consistency and enabling cross-cube analysis.
• Compound Cubes: Combine multiple cubes into a single subject area for integrated reporting and analysis.
• Relationships: Define one-to-many and two-way relationships between cubes to link related data sets.
• Use Case: A business analyst needs to create a report that combines sales data from different regions, where each region has its own specific product dimension. This Skill allows them to define a shared product dimension and then create a compound cube to bring all sales data together, enabling a unified view.

Quick Start

Use the advanced modeling skill to define a SQL computed dimension named 'CustomerSegments' with a member 'HighValue' based on a specific customer spending query.
