Bill Pearson at SQL Satruday, Raleigh, NC, Sept 18th - Tuesday, August 31, 2010 Bill Pearson, a noted author will speak at SQL Saturday on Sept. 18 in Raleigh,NC. His topic is Attribute Discretization in Analysis Services. Please stop by and see Bill and me at SQL Saturday. His abstract is below.
Attribute discretization is an oft-overlooked feature in Analysis Services that allows us to automatically create a manageable number of groups of attribute values that are clearly separated by boundaries. Discretization can help us to make it easier for information consumers to work with large numbers of possible attribute member values. In this session, we will discuss the varied options, the design (and other) considerations involved, and best practices surrounding the use of this capability.
