Understand the Cube - More Team Foundation Server Reporting Help

Willy-Peter Schaub's Cave of Chamomile Simplicity - Team System Reporting - A scary, but powerful environment

"Why scary ... well, not being a SQL OLTP and OLAP guru, the exploration through the TFS Reporting engine room has proven to be a scary one.

JPF "alias Professor" loves this ecosystem and if all goes well, he will contribute and clarify as well.

This was a brief excursion through the wonderful world of TFS reporting. Next post will be on process customisation, where the reports should find their way back again.

More help, much of it visual, in wrapping your head around build TFS reports...
