Everyone's buzzing about ChatGPT, but have you heard what the FP&A team wants? They’re looking for similar capabilities in number-crunching! 📊 - As we dive into version 3.0, it’s all about leveraging relational data within the cube. This setup makes it easier to integrate statistical modeling and machine learning. (Think of it as adding some fancy toppings to your favorite pizza! 🍕) - The interaction with relational datasets is crucial because you’ll want a broader data set to feed your statistical models—way more than what you’d need for your basic analytics. - The goal? Get those results into the cube without cluttering it with all the starting point data. Sounds intriguing, right? Have you encountered situations where leveraging relational data made a significant difference in your analysis? What was that like?
