SSAS needs to be done in a classroom setting.March 27, 2009 Chris Bui(Pomona, CA) I am new to SSAS since December 2008 and of all the three books I have purchased and forum research on this topic, I still find the information given is either too vague or not informative at all. You could probably save your money and take a community college course on SSAS rather than reviewing books on SSAS.

If just finished chapter 3 and over came an oversite in the book.
If you do not see the SSAS Step by Step DW.mdf database file, the following may help.
Start the SQL Server Management Studio, Select Server type Database Engine, select the connect button.
Within the Object Explorer section, right click on Databases, select Attach.
In the new Attach Databasees window, Select the Add button and drill down to where the SSAS Step by Step DW.mdf file is located. You should be back at Attach Databases window.
In the bottom half, highlight the 'Log' file type record and select remove (it says 'Not Found' in the Message column). Since there is no log file, we need to remove this action.
Select the OK button to attach this database to your other or existing databases.
That's it. It worked for me. I hope it works for you.

DisappointedOctober 10, 2008 Mike If someone could please recommend another book so I may learn DW/BI and Analysis Services, it would be most appreciated. Thank you.
Excellent BookSeptember 18, 2008 Keith Oswalt(Fort Wayne, IN) This is a great book to get started with SSAS 2005. Takes you from the very beginnings all the way up to entry level MDX statements. Excellent code samples and sample database to work along with.
