Power Pivot allows for importing data from multiple sources, such as databases (SQL Server, Microsoft Access, etc.), OData data feeds, Excel files, and other sources, facilitating comprehensive data analysis within a single environment. [10] The VertiPaq compression engine is used to hold the data model in memory on the client computer ...
A pivot table is a table of values which are aggregations of groups of individual values from a more extensive table (such as from a database, spreadsheet, or business intelligence program) within one or more discrete categories. The aggregations or summaries of the groups of the individual terms might include sums, averages, counts, or other ...
In its simplest form, an aggregate is a simple summary table that can be derived by performing a Group by SQL query. A more common use of aggregates is to take a dimension and change its granularity. When changing the granularity of the dimension the fact table has to be partially summarized to fit the new grain of the new dimension, thus ...
The listagg function, as defined in the SQL:2016 standard [2] aggregates data from multiple rows into a single concatenated string. In the entity relationship diagram, aggregation is represented as seen in Figure 1 with a rectangle around the relationship and its entities to indicate that it is being treated as an aggregate entity.

OLAP clients include many spreadsheet programs like Excel, web application, SQL, dashboard tools, etc. Many clients support interactive data exploration where users select dimensions and measures of interest. Some dimensions are used as filters (for slicing and dicing the data) while others are selected as the axes of a pivot table or pivot chart.
Fact_Sales is the fact table and there are three dimension tables Dim_Date, Dim_Store and Dim_Product. Each dimension table has a primary key on its Id column, relating to one of the columns (viewed as rows in the example schema) of the Fact_Sales table's three-column (compound) primary key (Date_Id, Store_Id, Product_Id).
A SELECT statement retrieves zero or more rows from one or more database tables or database views. In most applications, SELECT is the most commonly used data manipulation language (DML) command. As SQL is a declarative programming language, SELECT queries specify a result set, but do not specify how to calculate it.
The first comprehensive business intelligence systems were developed by IBM and Siebel (currently acquired by Oracle) in the period between 1970 and 1990. [1] [2] At the same time, small developer teams were emerging with attractive ideas, and pushing out some of the products companies still use nowadays.
