[DWH] What Is OLAP



What Is OLAP
 

OLAP stands for On-Line Analytical Processing. The OLAP Report has proposed the FASMI test, Fast Analysis of Shared Multidimensional Information. For people on the business side, the key feature out of the above list is "Multidimensional." In other words, the ability to analyze metrics in different dimensions such as time, geography, gender, product, etc. For example, sales for the company is up. What region is most responsible for this increase? Which store in this region is most responsible for the increase? What particular product category or categories contributed the most to the increase? Answering these types of questions in order means that you are performing an OLAP analysis.
