Cam someone recommend a good newbie book for Analysis Services? One with
step by step labs would be ideal.

TIA, ChrisR

go on to amazon and look for analysis services step by step. This
should give you what you want.

Thanks Mosha. Which one is your favorite?

Mine of course Seriously, each book has its strong sides. Probably I
would recommend them in following scenarios

Analysis Services Step By Step - First book to get overall introduction into
Analysis Services.
Microsoft OLAP Solutions - More detailed book, but also outdated, since it
was written for OLAP Services 7.0. But I still like it
Fast Track To MDX - Your introduction book to MDX (even before you read MDX
sections of Step By Step). Very easy read. [I am coauthor for this one]
MDX Solutions - The ultimite MDX guide - everything you need to know about
MDX is there. But material is very dense, not an easy read.
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Resouce Guide - Advanced content about performance
tuning, internals etc.

FYI, this book is out of print; but you can read it online here:

Unfortunately, the online version doesn't come w/ the CD ROM, which has
some good samples on it.
