Online Analytical Processing (or OLAP) is a Business Intelligence (or BI) reporting system. OLAP offers the user with the capability to count, average, sum and do other easy arithmetic operations on groups of data. An OLAP report has dimensions and measures. Measures are the data values to be displayed. Dimensions are characteristics of the measures. OLAP reports are termed as OLAP cubes, though these reports are not limited to three dimensions.
