Formatting SSAS Measures

If you're new to Analysis Services you might wonder if your only choices are to either format the data when loaded or rely on the end user application to do it, but there is a native choice that will split the difference. MVP Brian Knight shows you an easy way to set and change the formatting of a measure.

Too much babbling. Difficult to follow voice which distracts from the demo. Seems a little unscripted.

Robert Neal on 11/14/2011

Formatting numeric data is a real problem for me. Brian only touched on parts of the problem.
