Hi there,

I recently received advice on a large complex financial report which was to build a cube for the datasource. This apparently makes running the report a lot faster.

Initially what I had in mind was to have the report run from one table. A Job will run and take data from various tables, transform it and put it into one, reporting, table. This is so I can make the report as fast as possible.

In this case, would a cube still be a viable option? or is there something else I could do with the data in the reporting table to speed it up even more? Perhaps pre-aggreting some of the data when I add the data to the table?

Thanks
