What NOT to Use A Multi-Dimensional Cube For

The whole point of a Multidimensional Cube is make it easier for business users to slice aggregated numbers about their business. This means two things:
  1. If the data your business users request contains no numbers, a Cube is not the best option for your solution.
  2. If your business users do not want aggregations, a Cube is not the best option for your solution.
I feel this needed stating, as I have come across the sentiment that all reporting should come from a Cube, and that is simply not so.
