What is a good free/open source alternative to WebFOCUS?
Is there an ASP.NET way of getting info from an OLAP cube?
Update: I chose Magnus Smith’s answer as the correct one, but Alexmac’s answer was also very good!

Watch out, MDX is horrible – nothing like SQL even though it looks like it is.
You can get a .NET control to show OLAP data on a web page. Our company tested one from Dundas that was OK. I never got involved though so I don’t know if it was brilliant or merely serviceable. http://www.dundas.com/Gallery/Chart/NET/index.aspx?ImgGroup=OLAP
We gave up on SQL Reporting Services as it was not suitable for Internet usage (fine on Intranet though).
