• Key Concepts: 
  OLAP Query Model is a component of the BW-BEX-UDI Universal Data Integration (UDI) module in SAP. It is a powerful tool that enables users to create and manage complex queries for data analysis. It allows users to define the data sources, query parameters, and output formats for their queries. The OLAP Query Model also provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for creating and managing queries. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the OLAP Query Model, users must first define the data sources they want to use for their query. This can be done by selecting the appropriate data sources from the list of available sources in the UDI module. Once the data sources have been selected, users can then define the query parameters such as filters, sorting, and calculations. Finally, users can specify the output format for their query results. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating queries with the OLAP Query Model, it is important to remember that the query parameters should be defined in a logical order. This will ensure that the query results are accurate and consistent. Additionally, it is important to test the query before running it to ensure that it produces the desired results.
