Can someone explain to me the benefits of using the portfolio analyzer? I am not familiar with OLAP cubes and what data it would use / process to give the OLAP cubes results.

Hi Kevin PA are very useful for answering question you previsouly needed to have a SQL freak to answer. When you drang and drop rows and columns to the pivotchart you actually make SQL queries to the database. It is very flexible. You can ask questions like, which resoucer are working on which project is what department and in a given timeperiode. Or with a prefilter by departmental only og projects only.
