Course Overview
MDX Training Part 1 by Open Source is an introductory course designed to equip data analysts, BI developers, and reporting specialists with foundational skills in Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) for querying OLAP cubes. While no formal certification exam is tied directly to this course, it aligns closely with Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) competencies tested in exams like 70-768. This training serves professionals working with SSAS multidimensional models, particularly those involved in building or maintaining enterprise analytics solutions. According to industry demand, expertise in MDX remains critical, with over 60% of Fortune 500 companies still relying on SSAS-based data models for financial and operational reporting.
The course covers core technologies including SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), MDX query syntax, cube structures, measures, hierarchies, sets, and the CROSS JOIN operation. Students engage in hands-on lab exercises using SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) and SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), where they build actual MDX queries to retrieve and manipulate data from the AdventureWorksDW sample database. A key project involves constructing a complete SELECT statement with COLUMNS, ROWS, and WHERE clauses to analyze sales performance across time and geography dimensions. These labs simulate real-world scenarios such as generating executive dashboards and troubleshooting prewritten MDX scripts commonly found in corporate environments.
By mastering MDX through this training, participants prepare for roles such as SSAS Developer, BI Analyst, or Data Warehouse Specialist—positions that command average salaries between $85,000 and $120,000 in the U.S., depending on experience and location. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and access to official courseware, ensuring consistent delivery even with low enrollment. Graduates gain the confidence to write and interpret MDX scripts, enabling them to advance into senior analytics roles or pursue further certifications in Microsoft’s data platform ecosystem, ultimately positioning themselves as indispensable assets in organizations leveraging enterprise-scale business intelligence.
