BLOG: Digital Financial Reporting
This is a blog for information relating to digital financial reporting. This blog is basically my "lab notebook" for experimenting and learning about XBRL-based digital financial reporting. This is my brain storming platform. This is where I think out loud (i.e. publicly) about digital financial reporting. This information is for innovators and early adopters who are ushering in a new era of accounting, reporting, auditing, and analysis in a digital environment.
Much of the information contained in this blog is synthasized, summarized, condensed, better organized and articulated in my book XBRL for Dummies and in the chapters of Intelligent XBRL-based Digital Financial Reporting. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

OLAP Cube Tutorial
This is a nice little OLAP cube tutorial. Remember though!!! XBRL wants the "multidimensional model" part of business intelligence, it does not want the "OLAP" piece which focuses only on numeric content (because XBRL also deals with text) or the aggregation part (because not everything needs to be aggregated, it already could have been aggregated.
