What is an Analytic View?

Analytic views organize data using a dimensional model. They allow you to easily add asophisticated ggregations and calculations to your data sets and to create queries with relatively simple SQL. Analytic Views provide the following features:

• Organize data using a rich business model that has dimensional and hierarchical concepts
• Include system-generated columns with hierarchical data
• Automatically aggregate data
• Include embedded measure calculations that are easily defined using syntax based on the business model
• Include presentation metadata
