When the traditional OLAP product was just introduced, it experienced 2-digit growth rates in the global market for years before clients start to complain about that projects would easily fail, no obvious effect, and the time span is a bit too long. Since 2004, the growth of OLAP drops dramatically, owing to the seven major drawbacks of traditional OLAP tools(
what’s the remedies of OLAP’s drawbacks?):1. List the order data, and then filter the data of recent 6 months.
2. Compute the average sales of each order.
3. Multiply the average sales by 300%, as the criterion of”large order” standard.
4. Group the data from step 2 by month, and filter the result from step 3 to get the large order.
5. View the result and lower the criterion for comparison if few orders are up to the criterion, and raise the criterion for comparison if there are too great orders after filtering.
6. Count the large orders of each month.
7. Compute the increment of large orders in each month.
