Loading tabular data from cube ; Data Warehouse versus Data Marts
hi,
i've built enterprise data warehouse using multi-dimensional hypercube , mdx. it works fine, , performs well, supporting raft of ssrs.
the business wants self-service. well, suppose could wait until i've got powerview on mdx . . . wouldn't address issue of provisioning simple , easy access data structures each business function.
so, i'm thinking of creating number of data marts using bism tabular, , using hypercube dw 1 source of truth. certainly, since has calculations , kpis in already, not want lose loading data marts underlying relational constellation.
anybody tried , has experiences share?
cheers,

hi donna,
tabular solutions use relational modeling constructs such tables , relationships modeling data, , xvelocity in-memory analytics engine storing , calculating data. multidimensional solution use olap modeling constructs (cubes , dimensions).
tabular models provide data analysis expressions (dax), formula language creating custom calculations. need create calculations , kpi in new tabular model. more information, please see:
