Tahir Tahirov introduces multidimensional modeling as a way to organize and link business data across multiple dimensions like years, products, and regions. He explains that multidimensional modeling allows users to build interactive cubes of data, link different models together, and add any number of dimensions. Tahir promotes Quantrix software and Smart Modeling Solutions consulting services to help users implement multidimensional modeling through tools like Quantrix Modeler and Qloud for improved planning, budgeting, forecasting, and decision making.

2. Multidimensional Modeling
Today, I will explain to you in simple terms
1. What is it ?
2. Why you need it ?
3. And how you can implement it in your organisation ?

3. Ready to be a Game Changer?
We are used to:
• 2-dimensional tables, spreadsheets
• cell coordinates in formulas
• cells where data and formula is mixed
And…
• to errors, broken links , endless copy-paste operations that takes
significant part of our valuable time and costs corporates money
Now it is time to forget it, because you are going to:
Think and act outside of the cell!

4. (1.) What is it: Multidimensional Modeling?
• Imagine a standard table, e.g. your expenses over the years
• Now, imagine it in the space and add a new dimension, e.g. products
• Now you have a cube expenses per product over the years

5. Move from 2D to 3D
• So, instead of creating
separate tables of yearly
expenses for each product,
you have created a 3-
dimensional cube with all
expenses/products/years
inside
Years
Expenses
Products

6. (2.)Why: Amazing work and time saving
• That means you do not need to repeat the same work for each product:
• No need for copy-paste of same data to new sheets
• No need to repeat formulas
• If modification required, no need to add new item to each table
 Simply add it once and that is it!
• Even better: if you add a new product, you do not even need to write any
formula. Because one existing formula, written in natural language applies to
the whole range of products, not to the particular cell
• Your presentations, reports, dashboards and graphs are also multidimensional
 Simply select dimension or item for instant visualisation
But what if we need to expand our model and add another cube, how it works?

7. Linked Structure
• Lets say we build 2 cubes: Cash Flow Statement and P&L Statement
• They share same dimensions: Years and Products
Years
P&L Items
Products
Years
CF Items
Products
Cash Flow Statement P&L Statement

8. Work in Structured Environment
Here are we discover great advantages of multidimensional
models linked structure:
• You simply drag and drop those existing dimensions and build a
structure
much faster modeling
• Those dimensions are automatically linked
 if you add a new year or a new product in CF it will be added in P&L
immediately , or vice versa
• It helps to maintain structure across models
makes possible effective data integration

9. Move from 3D to 4D, 5D, 6D, …
• But what if we add more dimensions and actually multiply our
efficiency?
• You can easily add more dimensions like:
• Regions
• Services
• Price Scenarios
• Production Scenarios
• Projects
• …any other dimension relevant to your organisation
