If you go to http://www.bn.com and search for 'MDX' in the title, you will
get several hits.

The two that are my personal favorites are:
"Fast Track to MDX" by Mark Whitehorn, Robert Zare, Mosha Pasumansky
"MDX Solutions" by George Spofford

Hope that helps.

I agree with Dave. I find the Fast Track book to be a good
fundational book. The Spooford book is more of a resource, reference.

Microsoft offers a three day course on MDX, which I have taken, MS
2093, Implementing Business Logic with MDX. ProClarity offers such a
course on a quarterly I think basis. Frankly, the Microsoft MDX
Course, at the vendor I took it from, Vortex in San Diego, was not
that good. I find the Fast Track Book to be a better intro with more
consistent presentation of info.
