A data cube is a powerful analysis tool, which allows you to quickly and easily slice and dice data across multiple dimensions, in a single view. To learn more about cubes, including their benefits over traditional analysis tools, such as reports, refer to the What is a Cube introductory video. To find out how to connect to a cube using a specific software, please continue reading the Connection Guides section.

Note: You do not need to request new access to use cubes if you already have access to run EDW reports and query data. If you need to request access, you can do so at the Request Permission and Access Data page. Access for cubes is managed the same as data in the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) and/or BI Portal. To find out how to verify your access, please see the Access section of this help page.
