Hi All,

So far the MSAS application/cube I develope only the typical slice &
dice into multidimensional summarized data.
I read somewhere that another type of OLAP application is :
'Forecasting' & 'What-if Analysis'.

Could any body here pls give me some starting point :

1) How can I create 'Forecasting' & 'What-if Analysis' with MSAS2k ? is
there any articles/docs/tutorial/book somewhere ?

2) does that 'Forecasting' & 'What-if Analysis' application depend on
the client application ?
(currently I use Crystal Analysis 9/10, but I am considering Excel
Add-In)

Thank you very much for your help.

regards,
Krist
