Modifying OLAP queries to obtain different views of cube data

Once you have opened a cube of multidimensional data there are several ways to query the cube and expose the information that it contains.

Building the OLAP query offline
Building an OLAP query offline means that you will retrieve data from your cube data source only when you have finished building or making changes to your OLAP query.
Building an OLAP query online
Building an OLAP query online means that you will retrieve data from your cube data source every time you make a change to an OLAP query.
Filtering cube data
Filtering enables you to limit the amount of data that is retrieved from a cube.
