OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing) is a data analysis technique that enables the viewing and exploration of information from multiple dimensions. Unlike traditional databases, OLAP allows for complex analyses, aggregations, and knowledge extraction from large datasets, which are organized to facilitate analysis from various perspectives and hierarchies. OLAP is used in business to generate reports, create dashboards, and support the decision-making process, enabling users to explore data and extract valuable business insights.
