What does 'OLAP' mean?
OLAP, or Online Analytical Processing, is a software feature that allows users to analyze large amounts of data from multiple perspectives in real-time. This technology provides users with a multidimensional view of their data, allowing for more in-depth and efficient analysis. One of the key features of OLAP is its ability to quickly process and retrieve data from multiple databases or sources. This is achieved through a process called "pre-aggregation," where the data is pre-summarized, organized, and stored
